AFTER the successful stint of Bacolod Tay Tung High School Thunderbolts in just a couple of years, the University of the Philippines Maroons found interest in its spiker Marianne Sotomil.
In a shared communication from UP, the Maroons showed great interest in recruiting Sotomil to be part of their collegiate varsity team, adding that she has the right talent fit the team.
Jose Montalbo, vice chairman for Bacolod Tay Tung Sports Development Committee, said he is after the future of the student-athletes.
“I want them to have the freedom to choose their preferred colleges and universities. I am only facilitating whatever would benefit our student-athletes,” he said.
“At this point, I have graduating players who are under negotiation with some colleges and universities in Manila. If they will remain here in Bacolod they will have no problem with their scholarships in college because they will be taken care of. However, we do have student-athletes who really want to pursue their dreams in Manila. So, whatever choice these student-athletes make, I would be very happy to support them," he added. (HGD)
