After just one year at Adamson University, Trisha Tubu is heading to the Premier Volleyball League.
The 5-foot-8 spiker out of Concepcion, Tarlac has signed with Farm Fresh, effectively ending her eligibility in the UAAP.
Though the decision to turn pro was tough, it was a decision that she had to make, sharing that her father has been nursing a heart ailment and that she is serving as a breadwinner for her family.
“Yung desisyon po ay hindi tungkol sa akin o kanino ‘man. Para po talaga ito sa tatay ko sa Tarlac. Kailangan niya ng pacemaker dahil naka-ilang operation at stroke na po siya,” said the 22-year-old Tubu.
“Kailangan lang po talaga ng malaking halaga. Pero sa dami nang isinacrifice niya para sa akin dati, time ko naman po na ibalik ‘yun. Ayaw ko po dumating sa punto na huli na bago ko pa yun maibigay sa kanya.”
Tubu had a spectacular rookie campaign for the Lady Falcons.
She was the seventh-best scorer with a spiking rate of 31.31-percent. She was also the 10th-best blocker in UAAP Season 85 at 0.39 per set.
Also turning pro is second-year libero Cae Lazo.
Also leaving Adamson were Louie Romero, Rizza Cruz, Ckyle Tagsip, Kate Santiago, and Cae Lazo.
Lazo also signed with Farm Fresh.
