The Choco Mucho Flying Titans made a bold move in the 2025 PVL Rookie Draft, selecting Tia Andaya as the no. 7 overall pick on Sunday, June 8.

Andaya, a standout Filipino-American setter from Central Washington University, emerged as one of the most impressive players during the Rookie Draft Combine, topping the leaderboards in both the countermovement jump (294 cm) and approach jump (307 cm).

The Flying Titans’ move signals a shift toward strengthening their playmaking as she will share the court with Deanna Wong and Mars Alba.

Under Choco Mucho, Andaya will be setting up Maddie Madayag, Des Cheng, and Kat Tolentino as they look to get back to the Finals after their fourth-place finish in the 2024-25 All-Filipino Conference.

With Andaya now part of their lineup, the Flying Titans now set their sights on finding more attacking options following the departure of Sisi Rondina, who shifted her focus to beach volleyball with Alas Pilipinas for the upcoming SEA Games.
