Highrisers draw first pick for PVL Draft

MANILA, Philippines — Galeries Tower won the jackpot after drawing the most coveted first pick during the PVL Draft Lottery last night at Cignal’s Reliance in Mandaluyong.

It means the Highrisers will get the first crack on opposite hitter Alyssa Solomon, a former Alas Pilipinas standout who spent the past year playing in Japan, in the PVL Rookie Draft set June 3 at the Novotel.

PLDT star Mika Reyes did the honor of picking the lucky Galeries Tower, which came to the ceremony with only the second highest odds at 30 percent next only to Capital1’s 40 percent.

The Solar Spikers, picked by Nxled’s MJ Phillips, ended up with the second pick.

Choco Mucho took the No. 3 pick while ZUS Coffee the No. 4 pick.
