Appreciation post for this guy who flew out to Jakarta to support me, brought me jerseys and a marker to make sure I get Nootsara's autograph, and, to cap it off, surprised me with a gold medal after yesterday's game. Antonio Miguel de Guzman, you make me a winner. 😊

"In order to help those who have sacrificed so much ensure the safety of our countrymen, I will be auctioning one of the most memorable jerseys I have.

"My UAAP Season 79 jersey from my final playing year.

"All proceeds will be used to fund personal protective equipment for our frontliners."

Julia led the Philippine national team in the 2019 Southeast Asian Games as one of its setters. She bagged the Best Setter plum award during the UAAP Season 77 and she also won two championships for Ateneo.

She retired from the UAAP in 2017, when she announced that she has decided to forego her final year with the Lady Eagles.
