The Premier Volleyball League (PVL) continues to electrify Filipino fans in 2025, with sell-out crowds, intense rallies, and world-class performances. At the heart of this sporting renaissance are the Pinay volleyball superstars who have elevated the game to new heights.
From powerful spikes to clutch digs, these women are more than just athletes—they’re icons, role models, and national pride.
Here are the Top 5 Pinay Volleyball Stars Dominating the PVL in 2025:
🏐 1. Alyssa Valdez – Creamline Cool Smashers
Still the “Queen,” Alyssa Valdez remains a force in 2025. At 31, she brings leadership, consistency, and firepower to the Cool Smashers. Her ability to deliver in high-pressure moments and inspire her younger teammates cements her place as the face of Philippine volleyball.
“Every time I step on the court, I remind myself who I’m playing for—the fans, the flag, and the future generation.” – Alyssa Valdez
🏐 2. Jema Galanza – Creamline Cool Smashers
The PVL’s resident finesse queen, Jema Galanza is all about smart attacks, cool composure, and insane verticals. Her chemistry with Valdez makes Creamline a perennial title contender. In 2025, she continues to shine as one of the league’s most balanced and stylish attackers.

Rising rapidly through the ranks, Angel Canino is no longer just a rookie sensation—she’s now a full-fledged star outside hitter. With powerful hits and sharp court awareness, she’s one of the most exciting young talents in the league and a future national team mainstay.
🏐 4. Thea Gagate – Choco Mucho Flying Titans
Known as the “Tower of Power”, Thea Gagate dominates at the net with her shot-blocking skills and intimidating presence. Her transition from the collegiate league to PVL was seamless, and in 2025, she’s become one of the best middle blockers in the country.
🏐 5. Deanna Wong – Choco Mucho Flying Titans
Setting the tone—literally and figuratively—is Deanna Wong, one of the league’s most beloved setters. Her court vision, steady hands, and ability to read plays keep the Flying Titans in top form. Off-court, she’s a fan favorite, bringing a blend of charm and discipline that resonates with many.
