Philippines women's national volleyball team
In August 2022, the initial roster of the Philippines women's national volleyball team consists mainly of NU Lady Bulldogs was released by the PNVF after NU begs off to join the 2022 Premier Volleyball League Invitational Conference. As the result, the Champion or the best performing local team in the Invitational Conference will represent the Philippine national team. The eventual champions, the Creamline Cool Smashers accepted the federation's invite to represent the country.[3]
On August 17, 2022, the PNVF announced the official lineup for the 2022 Asian Women's Volleyball Cup. Only 14 players were allowed to play, Rizza Jane Mandapat and Lorielyn Bernardo were originally not part of the Philippine team in the AVC Cup but a few days before the game, Coach Sherwin Meneses confirmed that Alyssa Valdez would not play for the tournament due to dengue and Rizza Jane Mandapat will replace her. Lorielyn Bernardo became the replacement of Risa Sato due to Sato's health reasons.[4]
After the recently held AVC Cup, the squad was tasked to join the 2022 ASEAN Grand Prix. Sato would eventually join the team, meanwhile Valdez joined the trip but she was still not part of the lineup due to her recovery from dengue.
