In a major offseason coup, the Farm Fresh Foxies have signed veteran outside hitter Ces Molina and middle blocker Riri Meneses amid the PVL on Tour.

The star duo’s transfer brings extensive experience and firepower to the young Farm Fresh franchise, which is looking to climb the PVL ranks.

Molina and Meneses parted ways with the Cignal HD Spikers following a three-season stint with the club.

Their surprise departure from the HD Spikers, where Molina served as team captain, immediately sparked a flurry of interest from multiple PVL teams.

Farm Fresh ultimately won the sweepstakes for the two standouts.

The 30-year-old Molina was the PVL Invitational Conference MVP in 2023 and was consistently one of Cignal’s top scorers, while the 29-year-old Meneses is a former PVL Best Middle Blocker awardee and a perennially dominant net defender.

The pair helped Cignal to several podium finishes. Molina and Meneses were pivotal in the HD Spikers' runner-up finish in the 2024 PVL Reinforced Conference, along with multiple bronze-medal campaigns in recent conferences.

The arrival of Molina and Meneses is expected to significantly boost Farm Fresh’s competitiveness and veteran leadership after finishing sixth in the 2024-25 All-Filipino Conference.

The Foxies have been busy during the offseason, tapping Italian coach Alessandro Lodi to spearhead the squad. They also drafted Fil-Am setter Alohi Robins-Hardy and libero Anne Monares in the 2025 PVL Rookie Draft.

Farm Fresh also snapped up middle blocker Des Clemente-De Guzman to fortify their frontline.

With their new additions, the Foxies will look to bounce back after losing their opening match in the PVL on Tour.

Next up for the team will be the Choco Mucho Flying Titans and Petro Gazz Angels in Ilagan City this weekend.
