One of the country’s brightest stars in local and international arenas, Pascua said Gonzaga is expected to miss the import-flavored Grand Prix, which will kick off on February 17. “This is a major blow to us as we prepare for the Grand Prix. She’s very positive and remains optimistic that she can get back in shape sooner than expected.”Gonzaga isn’t the lone HD Spikers who will be sitting out the Grand Prix. Pascua added that her chief backup — Mylene Paat — would also take a leave as she joins Adamson University in its quest in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP). With that, the HD Spikers are contemplating on tapping foreign players who play the opposite and open spikers positions.
