Kim Fajardo bares joy as she slowly gets groove back


Kim Fajardo recorded a career-high of 11 points, fueling F2 Logistics’ bronze finish in the 2023 Premier Volleyball League All-Filipino Conference.

The Cargo Movers overcame a rough first set to take down PLDT 23-25, 25-23, 25-23, 25-15 in Game Two at the SM Mall of Asia Arena on Tuesday, securing their highest finish in the PVL since joining in 2019.

“Syempre, ako masaya ako hindi dahil sa 11 points pero dahil nga first time namin mag-podium finish. So sobrang sarap sa feeling.

“Pero ayun nga, nandito na kami. Alam namin na malapit na, pero wala pa kami sa goal namin. Pero malapit na,” said the six-time PSL Best Setter.

Fajardo finished with 11 points on five attacks, four blocks, and two aces, along with 24 excellent sets for F2 Logistics.

The La Salle product said that her performance against the High-Speed Hitters is special because it reminded her that she still has what it takes to play at the highest level, despite struggling with numerous injuries over the past years.PVL-2023-Battle-for-third-F2-vs.-PLDT-2392 Kim Fajardo bares joy as she slowly gets groove back News PVL Volleyball  - philippine sports news

“Masaya ako pero nung mga unang-una kakabalik ko lang maglaro talaga ng full game kasi galing ako sa injury,” said Fajardo.

“So, tine-test ko yung sarili ko kung hanggang saan yung limit ko after nung surgery, lahat ng injuries ko. Yung 11 points na yun special siya for me as an individual player kasi alam ko na nandun pa rin ako.”

Even though they fell short of making it into the final round, Fajardo vowed that the Cargo Movers would bounce back strongly next conference.

“Hindi man namin makuha ngayon, alam namin yung mga lapses namin. Pero talagang sa susunod conference, i-improve namin. Hindi na kami papayag na ganun-ganun na lang kami matatalo, na wala kam sa Final Four, na wala kami sa top three sa volleyball dito satin,” Fajardo said.

“Yun yung mindset namin, yung motivation namin, lahat ng paghuhugutan namin ng inspirasyon for the next conference.”
