Volleyball star Aby Maraño tweets support for her fellow Filipinos competing in the SEA Games.
“Laban lang.”
This is the battle cry of former De La Salle University Lady Spiker Aby Maraño, who will compete in the Women's Indoor Volleyball competition in the 30th Southeast Asian (SEA) Games.
Aby and the rest of the Pinay squad are aiming for a podium finish as the country last won a medal in the said competition in 2005. The Philippines bagged the bronze medal in that year.
The middle blocker tweeted a message of support to her fellow athletes competing in the biennial multi-sport event.
“Dear Philippine Athletes, ramdam ko rin yung pagod. Sobra. Ramdam ko yung frustration ng mga tao pero kaya pa. Keep your eyes on the prize as they say. Stay focus. Konting sakripisyo pa PARA SA BAYAN.
“Laban lang okay? Yakap, tara dito ”
