Gonzaga reunites with Daquis at Cignal

MANILA, Philippines — The reunification of the lethal duo of Jovelyn Gonzaga and Rachel Anne Daquis has been sealed.

Gonzaga, one of the unstoppable forces of volleyball nature in the country today, signed up with Cignal to jack up the team’s title chances in the Premier Volleyball League Invitational Conference unfolding June 29.

With her mother team Army on leave, the 31-year-old bionic Ilonga didn’t waste time in returning to the team she played for in another league from 2017 to 2020 and reuniting with an old, familiar face in the 35-year-old Daquis.

“Gonzaquis is back, see you awesome nation,” said Daquis in a Twitter post showing her and Gonzaga donning the pink and black team colors during a recent gym session.

The Gonzaga pickup came just less than two weeks after the Shaq delos Santos-mentored HD Spikers tabbed a talented Vanessa Gandler from Ateneo.

The pair of prized acquisitions should shore up a roster that is already loaded with talent including Ces Molina, Glaudine Troncoso, Toni Basas and Jerillie Malabanan among others.

Meanwhile, PVL president Ricky Palou has confirmed reports that Foton, a sister team of Chery Tiggo, is returning to the volleyball scene.

Foton is expected to acquire players from Chery Tiggo since the latter has a current crop of 24 players.
