Foton, one of the prominent teams in Philippine volleyball, is gearing up for a triumphant return to the spotlight in the upcoming 2023 PVL Invitational Conference. Spearheaded by seasoned players Shaya Adorador and Jasmine Nabor, Foton is determined to reclaim its former glory when the tournament kicks off on June 27.

In a surprising move orchestrated by their mother company, United Asia Automotive Group Inc. (UAI), Adorador and Nabor were transferred from Chery Tiggo to Foton. This transfer solidifies their roles as instrumental leaders within the team, bringing their invaluable experience and skills to Foton's roster.

Adorador and Nabor had previously showcased their leadership prowess by leading the Chery Tiggo Crossovers to victory in the 2021 Open Conference. Their success has only heightened expectations for their performance with Foton, as fans anticipate their impact on the team's journey to the championship.

Joining Adorador and Nabor in their move from Chery Tiggo to Foton are Seth Rodriguez, May Luna, France Ronquillo, Bingle Landicho, and Jaila Atienza. The addition of these talented players further strengthens Foton's lineup.

Additionally, Foton has secured the services of Nene Bautista, a standout player from Army, as one of their three guest players. Bautista's skills and experience will provide valuable contributions to Foton's campaign.

The Tornadoes have also tapped into the collegiate ranks to enhance their roster. Mary Rhose Dapol, the reigning NCAA MVP from the University of Perpetual Help System DALTA, and Sydney Niegos from Jose Rizal University, have been recruited as key players for Foton. Their youthful energy and fresh perspectives will undoubtedly boost the team's overall strength.

In an unexpected twist, Foton has managed to secure the professional debuts of renowned UST beach volleyball player Babylove Barbon and Maji Mangulabnan, adding even more excitement to their already formidable lineup. Completing the team are Bern Flora and Carly Hernandez, who bring their own unique skill sets to bolster Foton's chances of success.

Foton finds itself placed in Group B alongside tough competitors such as Choco Mucho, Cignal, F2 Logistics, Petro Gazz, and Farm Fresh. The presence of these formidable opponents promises thrilling matchups and intense battles throughout the tournament.

As Foton embarks on their journey to reclaim their former glory, the team's lineup, led by the dynamic duo of Adorador and Nabor, exudes confidence and determination. With their collective experience, new additions, and a hunger for success, Foton aims to make a statement in the 2023 PVL Invitational Conference and showcase their championship pedigree once again.
