  • Choco Mucho lured prized Eya Laure with P620,000 per month contract

    Choco Mucho lured prized Eya Laure with P620,000 per month contract

    Signing one of the most exciting players in the PVL is not an easy task, as shown by the Choco Mucho Flying Titans, who snagged Eya Laure after a tight race with a reportedly hefty contract worth P650,000 per month.

     

    The Flying Titans reportedly outpaced several interested PVL franchises, including Cignal, Capital1 Solar Spikers, and Farm Fresh Foxies, in the bid to land the 26-year-old spiker.

     

    The former UST Golden Tigresses star has been away from the PVL for more than a year now and has since dedicated her time to the national team with Alas Pilipinas.

     

    Eya Laure had spent more than a year away from the domestic league due to a non-compete clause tied to her exit from the now-disbanded Chery Tiggo franchise.

     

    The restriction, which followed her final PVL appearance during the 2024 All-Filipino Conference, kept her off the court for several conferences.

     

    During her time with the national squad, Laure made significant contributions, helping the Philippines secure a silver medal at the 2025 AVC Women’s Volleyball Nations Cup and back-to-back bronze medals in the 2025 SEA V.League legs. 

     

    Her international experience and offensive firepower were key factors in Choco Mucho’s pursuit, with team officials viewing her as a transformative addition capable of elevating the franchise’s championship prospects.

    In addition to Laure, Choco Mucho’s offseason roster retooling includes the signings of middle blocker Jaila Atienza, setter Alina Bicar, and the return of outside hitter Caitlin Viray. 

     

    These four newcomers join an already talented core that features Maddie Madayag, Kat Tolentino, Deanna Wong, and Des Cheng, among others, under the guidance of head coach Dante Alinsunurin.

     

    The Flying Titans’ aggressive moves follow a 2025 campaign that yielded mixed results, with a fourth-place finish in the All-Filipino Conference, a 10th-place result in the PVL on Tour, and a ninth-place finish in the Reinforced Conference. 

     

    Laure is expected to impact Choco Mucho’s offensive output with her scoring prowess and veteran leadership. 

     

    Her reunion with fellow UST alumna Sisi Rondina, who is set to return to indoor play after her successful 2025 beach volleyball stint, adds excitement and intrigue to a bolstered Choco Mucho roster.

  • Eya Laure starts 2026 with a bang, finds new home with Choco Mucho after PVL hiatus

    Eya Laure starts 2026 with a bang, finds new home with Choco Mucho after PVL hiatus

    While fireworks welcomed the New Year across the country, the loudest spark came from the volleyball world—Eya Laure is officially back. 

     

    After a year away from the Premier Volleyball League spotlight, one of the sport’s most magnetic stars opened 2026 by signing with Choco Mucho, finally putting an end to months of speculation surrounding her future.

     

    Laure’s return marks more than just a transfer; it signals a reset. Once viewed as the long-term centerpiece of Chery Tiggo, the former UST standout helped lift the Crossovers into relevance, steering them to back-to-back semifinal finishes early in her professional career. 

     

    Those runs cemented her reputation as a franchise player capable of changing a team’s trajectory almost overnight.

     

    Momentum, however, stalled as Laure stepped away from club play to answer the national team’s call. 

     

    Her absence during the Reinforced Conference was followed by a contract buyout ahead of the 2024–25 All-Filipino Conference, a move that activated a non-compete clause and effectively sidelined her from PVL action for an entire year.

    It was a quiet stretch domestically—but not internationally.

     

    On the global stage, Laure remained anything but idle. She became a key figure in Alas Pilipinas’ recent success, helping the national team secure a historic silver medal at the AVC Nations Cup and back-to-back bronze finishes in the SEA V.League. 

     

    The performances reminded fans and rivals alike that Laure’s game had only matured during her time away.

     

    Now with Choco Mucho, Laure steps into a dramatically reshaped roster—and a familiar circle. She could reunite with longtime UST teammate Sisi Rondina, while also sharing the court with former collegiate foes Maddie Madayag and Deanna Wong, the same Ateneo stars who once denied UST a UAAP crown in Season 81.

     

     Additions Jaila Atienza, Alina Bicar, and the returning Caitlin Viray further signal the Flying Titans’ intent to reload.

     

    The move comes on the heels of Choco Mucho’s decision not to renew several veteran contracts, underscoring a clear shift in direction. With Laure at the center of this new chapter, the Flying Titans are betting that the New Year’s biggest bang is only the beginning.
