Bella Belen put together her dream UAAP-PVL volleyball lineup, featuring star players like Angel Canino and Detdet Pepito.
It’s always a fun time when players get to name their dream lineups. But when it’s someone like Bella Belen—a three-time UAAP MVP and certified high-IQ player—then it’s worth extra to listen to.
The Alas Pilipinas star recently revealed her own all-star volleyball lineup during a lighthearted sit-down with content creator Mimiyuuuh, and let’s just say, Bella didn’t hold back.
From powerhouse spikers to liberos she grew up with, Belen's list is a perfect blend of admiration, chemistry, and respect, with a little sprinkle of "angas."
Let’s break down Bella’s ultimate squad:
Setter: No surprises here. Bella went with her longtime NU partner-in-crime Camilla Lamina. With their years worth of connection and championship success, this pick was practically a lock.
Outside Hitters: Bella picked not just one, but two fire-starters—Angel Canino of La Salle and Brooke Van Sickle of Petro Gazz, both MVPs in the UAAP and PVL.
Opposite Hitter: Of course, it had to be Bella's fellow Lady Bulldog and volleyball BFF Alyssa Solomon. Why break up a good thing?
Liberos: Bella went deep into her memory bank for this one, naming both Justine Jazareno of Akari and her BFF Detdet Pepito of UST.
The latter is extra special as they were teammates back in elementary school, and Belen proudly shared how Pepito was always destined for UST.
“Teammate po kasi kami noong elementary, so before pa lang sinasabi, UST na talaga siya. So, kahit may kumuha sa kanya, di siya papatibag,” said Belen.

Middle Blocker: The three-time UAAP MVP kept it stylish with La Salle’s rising star Amie Provido, whom she praised for her quickness, athleticism, and—yes—her looks.
“Super pretty tsaka mabilis rin yung mga palukot dito.Tsaka mataas po [tumalon],” she added.
And what would this dream team be called?
Well, Belen wasn’t keen on using her own name. But Mimiyuuuh jumped in with the perfect team name.
“Team…Teamang. Kasi maangas. Team Angas,” Mimiyuuuh quipped.
