Ikaw ang rason bakit marami ang nahuhumaling sa volleyball dahil sa dedication mo through ups and down. Walang sinuman ang makakapantay sa isang ALYSSA C. VALDEZ The Face of Philippine Volleyball. We bleed blue. Forever gonna cheer for BLUE and WHITE. Wag mag-alala makukuha ulit ang championship next pero ang pagmamahal at respeto ng mga tao sa iyo ay walang kapantay at kapalit na ano mang materyal na bagay sa mundo. Maghihintay kami sa announcement sa presscon mo tomorrow 05.04.16. Kung ano ang mga plano mo outside UAAP. For sure marami na ang nag-aagawan na makuha ka para sa kanilang mga team.

[@emmansalva8877]

dahil sa yo,ALYSSA VALDEZ na kilala ang UAAP volleyball.kaw ang nalapit sa tao na maganda maglaro at manood ng volleyball.nagiisa ka lang CAPTAIN/MVP.di man ninyo nakuha ang championship,sobra naman ang naachieved mo bilang volleyball player ng ATENEO LADY EAGLES.di natatapos sa UAAP ang paglalaro mo....you're always be remembered as a kind and humble CAPTAIN/MVP of UAAP volleyball player from ATENEO LADY EAGLES....

[@bitchbastardson]

it was not alyssa who made uaap volleyball visible. It was dlsu vs feu. later it was cha cruz paneng mercado vs gretchen ho and cainglet.

[@danicasalinas6522]

+Shimo Fuchi lahat ng sports analyst na ang nagsabi na si Alyssa Valdez ang mukha ng Philippine Volleyball. Sa kanya talaga malakas ang hatak ng tao. Mapuno nga niya ang isang arena dahil sa dami ng fans niya.

[@amayabagani9430]

+Shimo Fuchi no ,, si aly lang,kaming mga ofw,,nkilala lang ang uaap dahil kay aly,,nag ka interes kami manood,,, FYI lang

allyza valdez is the reason why i started playing volleyball

[@rezeltorres6110]

God bless alyssa... your life is inspiring.. your attitude inside and outside the court is really amazing. you are really a good model.. continue to be humble as always, because God will lift you up. whenever i think that you don't gonna play anymore in UAAP i always end up crying because in you i learn to love everything in volleyball. ikaw lang yung reason kung bakit nahilig ako sa sport nato and you are the reason why i love to see volleyball leagues, like uaap, shakey's v league and many more leagues, it is all because of you. i know there will no goodbyes, you will never be signing off and there will never be a "phenom-out" , because what is in you remains in you, who is alyssa, will always be alyssa, nothing can be compared of, such a talented woman, you just don't know how you made us inspired even in our daily life, dealing in this life i can think of how good and positive person you are. i just hope one day i can see you playing LIVE ..i love you aly and many of us here in OZAMIZ CITY, MISAMIS OCCIDENTAL, REGION 10, MINDANAO, PHILIPPINES loved you so much. they just get jealous on me when i have won a pldt ball with your signature on it, i am so happy and blessed then to receive that award. I AM PRAYING THAT YOU CAN READ THIS. I LOVE YOU ALY... GOD BLESS. praying for more success in life.. "it is not about achieving goals but it is about the journey." and with that what is important is A HUMBLE AND GRATEFUL HEART! HEARTSTRONG!!!!

[@hilala4375]

Ahh di ko na napigilang umiyak..ate Aly thank you talaga for inspiring us.Lahat ng mga palo mo mamimiss namin also yung ngiti mo...Fly high pa ate Aly..proud to be batangueño here!We love you so much

[@jeffrillcarloreyes4383]

She's the reason why I started playing volleyball. Nung nagsisimula pa nga akong maglaro, I tend to imitate the way she spike. It's been 3 years since she graduated. Im a fan since her rookie year. I can say, Valdez change the way how filipino look at the sports named Volleyball!

[@danithebananie6386]

I feel like there is no such thing as goodbyes. We still have "Until next time" and I'm very happy that they still showed so much class even after losing. Win or lose, we still love you guys! Ate Ly, congratulations. You have been a big part of the Phl Vball. Without you, I wouldn't be interested. And I wouldn't be inspired to continue everything I do even if haters say what they want to say.Rumours everywhere but you're still there standing strong. Not letteng your walls get down. I really idolize you and I admire you for being humble and strong! We will always be here for you, ate Ly no matter what!Good luck on your next journey!
