i remember uaap season 76 we were literally at a family reunion and my sister and i were watching game 3 between admu and dlsu 😭😭 alyssa was just SOOO charismatic that everyone at home ended up watching with us and rooting for ateneo especially her … idk how to explain it she just had that kind of energy na kahit hindi ka naman talaga volleyball fan, mapapa-root ka sa kanya. THAT was her appeal. you really just had to be there.
i dont think new volleyball fans will ever understand how HUGE alyssa valdez was (still is) during her uaap days 😭 she brought SOOO many new fans into the sport. yung fan culture na meron ang uaap and pvl ngayon, a lot of it started during her era. her prime may have passed but her contribution to ph volleyball is INCOMPARABLE. she didn’t just make a name for herself, she helped grow the sport and the community around it.
alam ng kapatid ko na, I'm a huge kn fan... nung time na ‘to, nanonood ako ng vb kasi may game sila aly, hindi ako madalas magphone kapag ganon,.. bigla na lang sinabi ng kapatid ko “break na kathniel mo” 😀
the kathniel breakup was literally one of the biggest showbiz issues. buong pilipinas affected, umabot pa sa ibang bansa. at kay kathryn nagsimula yung trend ng mga celebs na mag-post ng long message at pics after a breakup sksks
You never fail to amaze me with your humility every single time. Siya pa nag request nag mag photo opp with the fan.She leads by example🫡
Alyssa gathered the CCS ladies, waved at me, and even signalled, "Wait lang."
“it was about being treated with genuine kindness and care”
