Bia General has found a new home, while Michelle Morente closes a brief chapter with Creamline as roster movement continues ahead of the 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference.
Strong Group Athletics officially announced the signing of Bia General on Saturday, January 3, with the organization highlighting the veteran libero’s defensive value.
“Bia General is set to fortify our defense and bring strength where it matters most,” the team said in a social media post.
General, who parted ways with the Choco Mucho Flying Titans, now joins Strong Group Athletics as part of its continuing build-up ahead of the next PVL campaign.
She will join either the Farm Fresh Foxies or ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles under the SGA umbrella.

Meanwhile, Michelle Morente has parted ways with the Creamline Cool Smashers following a short stint with the team during the 2025 PVL Reinforced Conference.
"Thank you, Momo, for the grit, effort, and heart you brought to every game," the team wrote. "We’re grateful for the good vibes you shared."
Morente joined Creamline for the import-laced conference but did not stay on beyond the season.
Her exit comes shortly after a milestone off the court, as she tied the knot with long-time partner Pangs Panaga in December.
