PAAT-REZANOVA, BARTOLOME COMPLETE STRONG GROUP ROSTER FOR FORMOSA INVITATIONAL

Strong Group Pilipinas has finalized its roster for the 2026 Formosa Women's Volleyball Invitational Tournament with the inclusion of veteran opposite hitter Mylene Paat-Rezanova and rising middle blocker Cam Bartolome, completing the squad that will represent the Philippines in Taiwan.

The tournament, set from July 30 to August 2, will see Premier Volleyball League clubs Farm Fresh and ZUS Coffee join forces under the Strong Group Pilipinas banner as they take on top club and national selection teams from across Asia.

Paat-Rezanova brings a wealth of experience and firepower to the national side. The 32-year-old former 2022 PVL Reinforced Conference Most Valuable Player transferred to Farm Fresh earlier this year and is expected to provide veteran leadership and scoring for the Philippine squad.

On the other end of the spectrum is Bartolome, the youngest player on the roster at just 19 years old.

The College of Saint Benilde standout enjoyed a breakthrough campaign in NCAA Season 101, earning both Rookie of the Year and Freshman of the Year honors after emerging as one of the league's premier middle blockers.

The addition of the veteran Paat-Rezanova and the promising Bartolome rounds out a balanced lineup that blends experience with youth as Strong Group Pilipinas gears up for its first international assignment.

Leading the squad are reigning PVL Most Valuable Player Trisha Tubu, Roselyn Doria-Aquino, Maicah Larroza, Ces Molina, Louie Romero, and Jonna Perdido from Farm Fresh, alongside ZUS Coffee standouts Chinnie Arroyo, AC Miner, Clo Mondoñedo, Riza Nogales, Alyssa Eroa, and Zamantha Nolasco.

The team will be coached by Farm Fresh mentor Koji Tsuzurabara, with ZUS Coffee head coach Jerry Yee, Kungfu Reyes, and Shaq Delos Santos serving as assistants.
