Former college rivals Alyssa Valdez and Mika Reyes will join forces as they banner the Pilipinas-Blue team in the Clash of Heroes on Monday at the FilOil Flying V Centre in San Juan City. Valdez, who gave Ateneo de Manila University two UAAP titles, and Reyes will be joined by recently crowned UAAP champions Kim Fajardo, Kim Dy and Dawn Macandili of De La Salle University. Valdez and Fajardo, who both hailed from Batangas, will team up for the first time since their high school days at University of Santo Tomas (UST). “It’s the outcome of long nights of deliberation among members of the national coaching staff,” said national women’s team head coach Francis Vicente. Nene Chavez of Generika-Ayala is the team head coach assisted by Kungfu Reyes of UST and Benson Bocboc of La Salle.
