'If we really want to win a medal in the coming Southeast Asian Games, we have to send the best team that we have.'

MANILA, Philippines -- Despite Tats Suzara's firm "no tryout, no national team" pronouncement, the head of the volleyball federation's national team commission insists that the Philippines will still need its stars come the 2021 Southeast Asian Games.

In an interview on "Power and Play" on Saturday, the head of the national team commission, Tony Boy Liao, said that these stars will still be needed for the SEA Games. Jaja Santiago, fresh off a history-making campaign with Ageo Medics in Japan, attended the tryouts last Wednesday in Subic. Also present were Abigail Marano, Majoy Baron, Mylene Paat, and Eya Laure, veterans of the 2019 SEA Games.

Liao acknowledged that the timing of the tryout was awkward, because of the situation with the pandemic. He also noted that several teams are already training in their own "bubbles" and found it difficult to break camp just to attend a one-day tryout.
