Choco Mucho import-less again with Anyse Smith’s papers still pending

Choco Mucho will once again take the court without a reinforcement — but this time, it’s not due to any pending International Transfer Certificate (ITC) issue.

The Flying Titans, whose opening-day victory against Capital1 was voided after their imports failed to secure complete ITCs, will still be without American spiker Anyse Smith as the team is still finalizing her papers.

Smith’s absence puts Choco Mucho at a clear disadvantage against a Cignal squad set to parade veteran Greek import Eva Chantava in her PVL debut.

With Smith sidelined, the Flying Titans will once again rely on their trusted local core — Kat Tolentino, Isa Molde, Dindin Santiago-Manabat, and Des Cheng — to shoulder the offensive load as they prepare for the matchup as of press time.
