Arellano's Pauline De Guzman Signs with Petro Gazz Angels in PVL

In a significant move within the Premier Volleyball League (PVL), Arellano University's standout player, Pauline De Guzman, has officially signed with the Petro Gazz Angels. The announcement was made on June 26, 2025, marking a pivotal moment in De Guzman's athletic career as she transitions from college to professional volleyball.

De Guzman, a 23-year-old opposite hitter, gained recognition during her collegiate career, notably ranking 25th in scoring at the conclusion of the elimination round, accumulating a total of 176 points. Furthermore, she was recognized among the league's best spikers, boasting an impressive success rate of 29.56%. Her athletic prowess and competitive spirit are expected to enhance the performance of the Petro Gazz Angels as they aim for another championship title.

The Petro Gazz Angels expressed their enthusiasm for De Guzman's signing through a social media post, stating, "The rookie chapter begins… and trust us, it’s going to be a good one." This signing is particularly meaningful as De Guzman will reunite with her former teammate, Donnalyn Paralejas, further strengthening the team’s dynamics.

De Guzman’s path to joining the Angels was unconventional; she went undrafted in the recent PVL Draft but was later signed as a free agent. This move reflects the evolving landscape of professional volleyball, where talent can be recognized outside the traditional drafting process.

The Premier Volleyball League has been a platform for many athletes to showcase their skills and transition to professional play. The addition of players like De Guzman not only enhances the competitive nature of the league but also highlights the potential for growth and development within women's volleyball in the Philippines.

As the PVL season progresses, all eyes will be on De Guzman and the Petro Gazz Angels to see how this new chapter unfolds. With both individual and team aspirations at stake, the upcoming matches promise an exciting showcase of talent and determination in the realm of Philippine sports.
