The 31-year-old spiker is currently helping Petro Gazz win its first All-Filipino Conference title in the 2024-25 season.
Aside from doing her best on the court, Pablo says it’s also important to do her best.
“As a volleyball player, it is important to me that she is more confident as a woman than she was seen on television. Siyempre, hindi ka naman pwede hindi mag-ayos, lalo na, siyempre, alam mo na yung mga tao, maraming mga sabi, “oh, ganyan si Myla di nag-aayos ng itsura, mga or something like that.” ” I think that as a woman I will have more confidence if I have my opinion about volleyball,” she said.
