"I'd rather see my team going to the final four than see myself going to the MVP. For me MVP is just a bonus. I want to make history for Ateneo"-CHARO SORIANO
...sinabi niya to nung interview niya as best player after their game against NU. Grabe ano napaka martir and yan talaga qualities ng isang leader. mas inuuna kapakanan ng team nya kaysa sa sarili niya..//

CHARO SORIANO MAKING WAVES IN THE UAAP
Maria Rosario Soriano. This pretty morena girl is not the just your ordinary volleyball player. She can spike hard, dig hard balls, serve well. Not only that, she is not just a good volleyball player but is one of the players who can be considered as a “renaissance” woman as she is smart, articulate, rich, beautiful, has a lot of fans and has a good body built. It is no wonder that Charo Soriano has a lot of fans in and out of the university. (Look at her smile. She looks glaring! Promise.) Besides, she is actually becoming one of the most prominent personality or students in the university because of her height and stance. Of course, another thing that people won’t forget about her is her “Shara-povic Shriek” which is probably the loudest shriek in the collegiate volley tourney. If you followed her, she already starred in a commercial in Shakey’s. Just few days back, she has also signed up with Nike as official endorser of their product together with teammate Trish Limgenco.
Anyway, back to game face.
Charo Soriano currently averages 18 points per game in the UAAP. Far from her lackadaisical performance last year and in V-League Summer Edition. However, after her injury in the Summer Edition of V-League, things have quite gone well for Charo. Before going to Thailand, she with partner Patti Taganas made it to the Finals of Petron Beach Volleyball 2nd Leg with the tandem of PCU’s Lani Cervantes and Arlene Bernardo. Months after, she and Patti Taganas went on to end up as runner-up or 2nd place in the UAAP Women’s Beach Volleyball Tournament losing to the much experienced tandem of FEU’s Wendy Semana and Shai Gonzalez. She spent two weeks of her semestral break training with the Ateneo Lady Spikers in Thailand. There she experienced how hardcore volleyball training is like and how things really work in volleyball. Charo then had a big bang here in the Philippines right after they came back after upsetting then-defending champions UST Tigresses in 5 sets. The awe-inspiring performance of Charo continued as she went on to be Ateneo’s best player of the game for 6 times. At the end of Shakey’s V-League tournament, Charo Soriano was the #7 in Scoring or in the MVP Race besting out other college people (#1 was Kesinee, the Guest Player of Ateneo, #2 was Bualee of San Sebastian, #3 was Bautista of Adamson, #4 was Roces of UST, #5 was Carrillo of Lyceum, and #6 was Venus Bernal of UST). She also received the 100Plus Most Energetic Player Award because of her showing during last conference.
It was a few years back when she won the UAAP Rookie of the Year Award and now, after 4 years, she currently tops the Scoring and Digging department as well as being #4 in Blocking and #2 in Receiving and is probably the leading candidate for the Most Valuable Player Award, a thing that no Atenean volleybelle has achieved before. Aside from that, she is tagged as one of the most sensational or versatile players of the country because aside from her current position, which is as Middle Blocker, she can also play Open Spiker, which she did during the V-League and Libero because of the inevitable digging and receiving she does. By the way, to reiterate, in terms of defense, she ranks #1 in Digging and #2 in Receiving. She even beat the Liberos of UAAP.
It’s amazing to note that Charo Soriano is probably one of the girls who really are dedicated and loves volleyball. There was an instance in the V-League last Summer Edition wherein she was hit by a certain sponsor board and still begged her coach to play just to help her team win. Just few days back, this happened again. She got cramps in their game against La Salle. In fact, she was sent out because of the terrible pain she experienced but begged again to come back in the later part of the 4th set and even scored a point. Here you can see how much Charo loves the sport and the school that she would risk her life just for the fans, supporters and for the sport.
The Final Four System in UAAP Volleyball was only introduced in the early 2000s and in those 7 or 8 years, Ateneo has never reached the Final Four. The closest was last year, when they almost made it but didn’t because of losing to UP Lady Maroons in a thrilling 5 set match which included one of the longest rallies in UAAP that reached to 39-37 in scoring. Of course, this is the target of the Ateneo Lady Eagles; to make history as the first Ateneo team to make it to the Final Four. Last Sunday, after their win against NU, Charo Soriano was interviewed if she really wants to win the MVP or does the MVP Award matter to her. Charo replied, “I’d rather see my team going to the final four than see myself going to the MVP. For me MVP is just a bonus. I want to make history for Ateneo.”

Among the UAAP women’s volleyball players, Ms Charo Soriano stands out, not only she plays great inside the court but the kind of leadership she demonstrate in every game she plays. She is the heart and soul of the ADMU team. She is the only consistent player in the team. She became the most reliable and dependable player. That’s why she deserve the MVP award in this season, even though her team might not make it in the final four. Since there are circulating rumors that some coaches wants or argue that the MVP must come from one of the teams who will make it in the final four. I think this quite unfair to ms soriano, because she leads in the scoring stats, which is one of the basis of selecting the MVP. She also can dig, block, pass, and serve above par. She is really a total and all around player. I will bet my life on it, if Ms Soriano plays for another team; that team will accept her with open arms because she is a great player. If coach Dulay arrived in ADMU when she started to play, she might be a one of the great players of the ADMU had ever produced. I learned from one of the Atenean spectator that she is currently in her post-graduate course. Can you imagine, a ball player who is about to finish her playing years had finished her undergraduate course. This is the kind of character of Ms Soriano, that she finished schooling before her playing years expires. This is the value what she learned from her parents and the school that taught her; that education will always be the key for someone who wants to succeed in this lifetime. I hope and pray that ADMU will make it in the final four, so that, she will take the MVP award. She will make a legacy that everyone will always remember in the UAAP Women’s Volleyball. To you, Ms Soriano and the rest of the ADMU team, give all your best to beat FEU or DLSU to clinch the 4th and final spot in the final four. I leave you with this qoute: DESTINY IS NO MATTER OF CHANCE, IT IS A MATTER OF CHOICE. IT IS NOT A THING TO BE WASTED FOR IT IS A THING TO BE ACHIEVED (by William Jennings Bryan). Haha. Nice post !  |
