Also in the list are Gel Cayuna, Glaudine Troncoso, Kath Arado, Dell Palomata, Cherry Nunag, Kat Tolentino and Mylene Paat. Brazilian coach Jorge Souza De Brito mentors the team along with assistants Sherwin Meneses and Cherry Rose Macatangay, trainer Raffy Mosuela, strength and conditioning coach Grace Gomez, and team manager Ma. Fe Moran. The men’s crew, meanwhile, is composed of Mangulabnan and his AMC-Cotabato teammates Joshua Umandal, Lloyd Josafat, Kim Dayandante, Vince Lorenzo and Jayvee Sumagaysay. Completing the squad are Rwenzmel Taguibolos, Leo Ordiales, Manuel Sumanguid III, Jade Disquitado, Jay Rack Dela Noche, as well as Fil-Ams Steven Charles Rotter, Cyrus Justin De Guzman and Michael Raymund Vicente. Coaching the team is another Brazilian mentor in Sergio Valadares Veloso along with assistants Odjie Mamon and Rommel Abella, trainer Mark Alfafara, strength and conditioning coach Melchiezedek Samonte and team manager Jerome Guhit. “These teams are composed of perhaps the most formidable rosters to date with each and everyone of these athletes dedicated and determined to rise to the challenge in Cambodia,” PNVF president Tats Suzara said. “With the skills given and dedication to flag and country considered, our coaches put a premium on chemistry, on how these players would blend based on the competitions and challenges of the SEA Games,” he added. The beach volleyball team, meanwhile, is composed of Sisi Rondina, Jovelyn Gonzaga, Bernadeth Pons, Floremel Rodriguez, Ranran Abdilla, Jaron Requinton, Jude Garcia and James Buytrago. The indoor volleyball teams hope to make a crack at the podium after finishing fourth in the five-team field in the women’s division and fifth in a field of seven in the men’s side in the 31stedition held in Vietnam last year. The beach volleyball squads, for their part, aim to maintain or eclipse their bronze medal finishes the last time. Volleyball competitions in Cambodia begin two days ahead of the opening ceremony on May 3 at the Morodok Techo Elephant Hall while beach volleyball starts on May 11 at Otres Beach in Preah Sihanouk (Sihanoukville) Province with the finals of both on May 16.
