Bella Belen finally met her match — and her meme — as Capital1 gave her a Twilight-level welcome starring Christopher Diwata in full Jacob mode.
Capital1 Solar Spikers didn’t just sign top rookie Bella Belen — they launched a full-blown Twilight reboot.
Fresh off her Alas Pilipinas stint, the UAAP three-time MVP made her official PVL move to Capital1 — and the welcome she got was straight out of a fanfiction fever dream.
Enter Christopher Diwata, a.k.a. “Taylor Lautner ng Pinas,” delivering his now-iconic skit:
“What happen, Vella?”
“Ahh I know… new team, right?”
“Welcome to Capital1!”
Yes, Belen met her match — and her meme.
During her NU Lady Bulldogs days, Bella fully leaned into her “Twilight era,” reacting to intense plays like she just got left in the woods by Edward Cullen, and capping off championships with “Sana proud si Idward.”

But behind the memes is a player with legit bite — a clutch performer, a versatile hitter, and now, a major asset for Capital1.
Her PVL debut is one of the most anticipated this season. And with a team that clearly gets her sense of humor and her playing style, Bella’s in the perfect place to shine.
So to the rest of the league: better stock up on garlic.
Because Bella’s out of the shadows — and she's about to sink her teeth into the pros.
