Jia de Guzman bares Creamline return, but stays focused on Alas Pilipinas
Jia De Guzman shared she is set to return to her mother club Creamline in the PVL after two years of plying her trade abroad with Japanese club Denso Airybees. The decorated setter revealed her plans on Tuesday, just days after helping the country win a historic silver medal in the 2025 AVC Women's Volleyball Nations Cup in Vietnam. But De Guzman stressed her focus is on Alas Pilipinas, especially with a busy year ahead for the national team. "Of course I'm going back to Creamline but I went to a team that knows that I have responsibilities also to the flag," De Guzman said during the Philippine Sportswriters Association (PSA) forum. "So right now, I'm very grateful because they're allowing me to focus entirely on Alas Pilipinas because they know I have a responsibility to the country." Alas Women are set to compete in a pair of major tournaments. They will return to Vietnam later this month for the VTV Cup before starting to gear up for the 2025 Southeast Asian Games in December in Thailand. De Guzman acknowledged the pressure to deliver results but shared they are just trusting the process of making something out of a youthful squad bannered by the likes of young guns in Angel Canino, Eya Laure, Fifi Sharma, Shaina Nitura, and Bella Belen. But De Guzman, an eight-time PVL Best Setter and back-to-back AVC Best Setter, said that that pressure only helps them to aim higher. "There's a lot of pressure to produce more results lalo na ngayon na we're reaching heights that we hadn't reached before," De Guzman said. "For us, 'yung number one talaga is to try trust the process and just keep showing up everyday to be better. But of course, yes, we will fight for that podium finish as we do every tournament naman talaga." Moving forward, De Guzman has full confidence in her teammates' ability to step up as the nation bids to break a 32-year gold medal dry spell at the SEA Games. "I have no doubts sa buong team na walang nagbibigay ng everything nila. That's the environment that we've been setting for the past years. There's no need for me to rally everyone, to try harder, to put more into their bodies, because I know everyone's giving their best." —JKC, GMA Integrated News

Jia De Guzman reflects on silver medal finish of Alas Pilipinas
A day after Alas Pilipinas bagged a silver medal in the AVC Nations Cup, team captain Jia De Guzman shared her reflection on the team's journey and the meaning of the said feat. The Philippines fell to host country Vietnam in straight sets in the finals on Saturday. "It takes time and loads of patience to build a culture that focuses more on the journey & growth over immediate results. Where other people only see wins or losses, achievements or failures, perfection or see ALL of it as necessary parts of the process of becoming a better team," she wrote in the caption of her post. "This is what 'gaining experience as a team' means. This is why we try to keep the same players, and also add more to the pool." De Guzman said the the process of building a culture should be respected as results will follow eventually. "When we make the mistake of putting all the weight on a 'game win' or 'historic feat' to count a day or tournament as successful, it's easy to be blind to the progress, small wins, and experience that was actually achieved," she wrote. "But when we truly live in the moment and give full respect to the process, we learn the most and the results will eventually follow." The Alas team captain shared her pride in seeing how the team grows and shared their victory to all their supporters. "Patuloy na lalaban ang Alas Pilipinas para sa bayan." De Guzman was also named as the Best Setter of the tournament, while her teammates Angel Canino and Dell Palomata were named as part of the Best Outside Hitters and Best Middle Blockers. —JKC, GMA Integrated News
