MANILA, Philippines -- Alyssa Valdez is set to make her third straight Southeast Asian Games stint as she banners the Philippine national women’s volleyball team in the biennial meet that the country will host next month.

The power-hitter and crowd-drawer will carry the nation’s pride alongside a good mix of new and returning players with the mission of ending a 14-year podium drought.

Larong Volleyball sa Pilipinas, Inc. bared the lineup Wednesday.

Aside from Valdez, skipper Aby Marano, setter Rhea Dimaculangan, who skipped last year's Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games, and Jovelyn Gonzaga are also suiting up for the tricolors for the third time since the country’s return to the regional sports meet in 2015 in Singapore.

The Philippines’ last podium finish was back in the 2005 Manila edition when the Filipinas led by Tina Salak and Ging Balse finished third.

Also making it to the 14-woman roster are setter Jia Morado, middle blockers Mika Reyes, Majoy Baron, who won back-to-back Best Middle Blockers in the ASEAN Grand Prix, Maddie Madayag, wingers Ces Molina, Eya Laure, Mylene Paat and Fil-American Kalei Mau and liberos Dawn Macandili, the ASEAN Grand Prix second leg Best Libero, and Kath Arado.

Action in the volleyball competition will begin on Nov. 28 at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig City.
