PLDT has added another decorated setter to complement Rhea Dimaculangan after it signed Kim Fajardo.
Fajardo, a six-time PSL Best Setter, guided F2 Logistics to multiple championships in the now-defunct league.
However, after seven years with the team, the La Salle great is embarking on a new chapter following the disbandment of the Cargo Movers, and she is eagerly looking forward to it.
“Gusto kong ma-challenge sa bagong systema. Gusto ko pang matuto,” the 30-year-old playmaker out of Calatagan, Batangas said.
The past few years have been challenging for Fajardo, marked by numerous injuries.
With PLDT, she aims not only to regain her health but also to lead the franchise to its first-ever professional title.
“Gusto kong maibalik ‘yung dati kong kondisyon. Kayang kaya pa basta with the proper mindset and the guidance of my new coaches and teammates. Nakaka-excite lang isipin na bago lahat.”
Recently, the High Speed Hitters released Mich Morente, Mean Mendrez, and Anj Legacion. Other former members of F2 who have found new homes include Dawn Macandili and Jov Fernandez (Cignal); Ivy Lacsina (Nxled); Ara Galang and Aby Marano (Chery Tiggo); and Joy Dacoron (Petro Gazz).
