    Royse Tubino sparks Farm Fresh comeback against former team Choco Mucho

    Facing a former team can sometimes carry extra emotions, but for Royse Tubino, Tuesday night’s matchup was less about nostalgia and more about enjoying the game.


    Tubino delivered a key performance for the Farm Fresh Foxies as they pulled off a dramatic five-set victory over the Choco Mucho Flying Titans in the Premier Volleyball League All-Filipino Conference.

     

    The veteran winger, who joined Farm Fresh during the offseason after previously playing for the Choco Mucho Flying Titans, helped flip the script in a tense contest that stretched to the limit.

     

    Inserted into the starting lineup for Ara Galang at the beginning of the second set, the 33-year-old immediately made her presence felt. Tubino finished with 14 points and five excellent receptions, becoming one of the sparks behind the Foxies’ comeback against her former squad.

     

    Her efforts complemented the offensive push from Ces Molina, who led the team with 17 points, while Riri Meneses added 10 markers to help Farm Fresh secure the gritty win.

     

    For Tubino, the victory reflected the work the team had been putting in long before match day.

    “Pinaghirapan namin bawat training namin, bawat araw-araw na ginagawa namin ng mga coaches. Tsaka itong panalo talaga na ‘to, team effort. Tsaka hindi kami sumuko nung dulo,” the open hitter Tubino said.

    Despite the storyline surrounding her reunion with Choco Mucho, Tubino made it clear she approached the match with a simple mindset—focus on her role and help her new team bounce back after a two-game skid.

     

    “Wala. Focus lang ako sa sarili ko rin this time kasi alam ko naman na si Choco Mucho ay matinding kalaban talaga. Ayun, focus lang ako sa sarili ko basta enjoy ko lang kung ano yung meron ako, kung ano yung na-ti-train namin, yun lang talaga,” said Tubino.

     

    While the match was fiercely contested on the court, the atmosphere between familiar faces remained lighthearted.

     

    Tubino shared that she exchanged playful banter with longtime teammate and fan favorite Cherry Ann Rondina, better known as Sisi, during the match—adding a friendly layer to the otherwise intense battle.

     

    “Nag-aasaran na lang kami nung sa game. Sabi ni Sisi na blockin niya daw ako, depensahan niya yung mga palo ko, pero sabi ko, ‘Sige, go.’ Yung mga asaran na Choco Mucho na, ano,” the 33-year-old said.

     

    Rondina still led the Flying Titans’ fight, finishing with 22 points, the same output posted by teammate Kat Tolentino in the loss.

     

    The win proved crucial for Farm Fresh in the standings. The Foxies improved to 3–4, keeping their Top 4 hopes alive as they now share the same record with Choco Mucho and the Nxled Chameleons in the tightly packed middle of the table.

  • Farm Fresh adds six SGA signings for 2026 PVL All-Filipino tilt 

    Farm Fresh adds six SGA signings for 2026 PVL All-Filipino tilt 

    Farm Fresh didn’t just tweak its roster this offseason — it rewired it.

     

    As Strong Group Athletics (SGA) finalizes the placement of its 10 new signings ahead of the 2026 PVL season, the Foxies emerged as the biggest beneficiaries, landing six players in one decisive sweep. The move positions Farm Fresh as one of the most transformed teams entering the new year, both in depth and balance.

     

    Joining the Foxies are Ara Galang, Royse Tubino, Mylene Paat, Imee Hernandez, Bia General, and Remy Palma, a group that collectively fills almost every gap on the roster. It’s a deliberate rebuild rather than a patchwork fix — one that touches offense, defense, leadership, and experience.

     

    At the center of that shift is Palma, who is set to take on a unique dual role as playing assistant coach, working alongside her former Petro Gazz mentor Koji Tsuzurabara, pending his confirmation as head coach. Beyond her on-court contributions, Palma is expected to anchor a frontcourt that will now feature several new pieces.

     

    For Galang, Paat, and Hernandez, the move also represents long-awaited stability. The trio finally finds new homes following Chery Tiggo’s disbandment last December, closing a period of uncertainty and reopening the door to consistent competition.

     

    Tubino and General, meanwhile, turn the page after separating from a retooled Choco Mucho lineup earlier in the offseason, giving Farm Fresh additional versatility on the wings and in the backcourt.

    On paper, the Foxies’ new look is strikingly complete:

    • Tubino slots in as a natural outside hitter 
    • Paat reinforces the opposite position 
    • Galang adds a reliable two-way presence 
    • Palma and Hernandez fortify the middle 
    • General shores up the libero role 

    Notably, the only spot left untouched is the setter position, already stabilized by the tandem of Alohi Robins-Hardy and Louie Romero — a sign that Farm Fresh’s overhaul was targeted, not indiscriminate.

     

    With Farm Fresh claiming the lion’s share of SGA’s additions, the remaining four signings are set to bolster ZUS Coffee, led by veteran setter Chie Saet and former Chery Tiggo standouts Cess Robles, Renee Peñafiel, and Karen Verdeflor.

     

    As the PVL landscape continues to shift in the wake of team exits and offseason realignments, Farm Fresh’s aggressive reload stands out. It’s a clear statement: the Foxies aren’t just adding names — they’re building a new identity for 2026.

  • Royse Tubino headlines Strong Group’s latest veteran signings ahead of 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference

    Royse Tubino headlines Strong Group’s latest veteran signings ahead of 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference

    Royse Tubino emerged as the headline addition as Strong Group Athletics continued to fortify its Premier Volleyball League rosters, announcing a new wave of veteran signings ahead of the 2026 season.

     

    Tubino, a proven opposite spiker known for her steady scoring and versatility, leads a quartet of experienced reinforcements that also includes setter Chie Saet and middle blocker Remy Palma from Petro Gazz, along with libero Bia General of Choco Mucho. 

     

    The moves further strengthen Strong Group’s twin franchises, ZUS Coffee and Farm Fresh, as both teams look to build on promising campaigns last season.

     

    At 32, Tubino brings reliability forged through years of PVL battles. She most recently suited up for Choco Mucho, where she served as a dependable offensive option off the bench, providing timely points and stability whenever called upon. 

     

    Her arrival gives Strong Group a seasoned attacker capable of contributing immediately, whether in a starting role or as a key rotation piece.

    Saet adds championship pedigree to the group. The 41-year-old veteran setter spent her entire PVL career with Petro Gazz since 2019 and was instrumental in four title runs, three of which came during the league’s professional era.

     

    Her experience and court leadership offer Strong Group a calming presence in high-pressure moments.

     

    Palma, meanwhile, strengthens the middle while bringing leadership off the floor. A three-time PVL champion at 30, she is set to take on a dual role as a playing assistant coach, blending on-court contributions with mentorship for younger teammates.

     

    General rounds out the signings as a defensive specialist. During her stint with Choco Mucho, she served as the primary backup to multi-time Best Libero Thang Ponce, giving Strong Group a reliable option in the backcourt with experience in structured defensive systems.

     

    The latest acquisitions come just a month after Strong Group secured former Chery Tiggo standouts Cess Robles, Karen Verdeflor, and Renee Peñafiel, highlighting a clear strategy of surrounding its teams with veteran leadership.

     

    ZUS Coffee is coming off a breakthrough Reinforced Conference run that ended with a maiden Finals appearance, while Farm Fresh registered a franchise-best 7–1 elimination-round record before exiting in the quarterfinals. 

     

    With Tubino leading the newest batch of additions, Strong Group appears intent on turning last season’s gains into sustained contention in 2026.
