MANILA, Philippines – When it comes to volleyball, three-time UAAP MVP Bella Belen knows what greatness looks like—and she’s got a dream team to prove it.
In a fun sit-down vlog with content creator Mimiyuuuh, the Alas Pilipinas star and soon-to-be Capital1 ace unveiled her fantasy starting lineup. The result? A star-studded roster made up of elite collegiate champions, professional standouts, and even fierce rivals turned teammates.
Let’s break down Belen’s dream squad—one that could dominate any league.
Setter: Camilla Lamina – The Playmaker She Trusts Most
No surprises here. Camilla Lamina has been Belen’s go-to setter since high school at National University. With countless championship runs together, their connection is second nature.
“Mataas ‘yung standard ng setting niya, which is good,” Belen shared.
Lamina, a two-time UAAP Best Setter, knows exactly how to time Belen’s powerful attacks—a skill honed through years of shared victories.
Outside Hitter: Angel Canino – From Rival to Ride-or-Die
UAAP fans know this duo well. Angel Canino, La Salle’s standout rookie-MVP, once stood on the opposite side of the net. But as Alas Pilipinas teammates, they now bring the fire together.
“[Outside hitter ko] si Angel Canino,” Belen said with ease.
Their mutual respect and shared championship experiences make Canino an easy pick.
Outside Hitter: Brooke Van Sickle – Future Filipino Star
She’s yet to play alongside Brooke Van Sickle, but Belen is already manifesting it. The reigning PVL MVP is on track to gain full eligibility as a Filipino player—something Belen can’t wait for.
“Si ate Brooke talaga sa Petro Gazz,” Belen said with admiration.
Opposite Spiker: Alyssa Solomon – Her Championship Co-Pilot
If there’s anyone Belen’s played more volleyball with, it’s Alyssa Solomon. From elementary to UAAP dominance, this duo has been unstoppable.
“Opposite, si ate Alyssa,” Belen said, speaking of their long-running on-court chemistry.
Their partnership brought home multiple titles for NU, and the bond is unshakable.
Bella Belen-Liberos: Justine Jazareno and Detdet Pepito – Two Is Better Than One
Why settle for one libero when you can have two of the best?
- Justine Jazareno, Belen’s Alas teammate, was the floor leader who helped derail NU’s title bid in UAAP Season 86.
- Detdet Pepito, her childhood friend-turned-rival-turned-hopeful teammate, shares roots with Belen that go all the way back to grade school.
“Parang mahirap. Pwedeng dalawa?” Belen laughed.
The chemistry with Pepito runs deep—they captained opposing sides in Season 87 but remain connected beyond the court.
Bella Belen-Middle Blocker: Amie Provido – Pretty, Powerful, and Poised
Rounding out the dream lineup is Amie Provido, La Salle’s dynamic middle blocker who earned top honors in UAAP Season 87.
“Super pretty at mataas po talaga siya tumalon,” Belen said.
At 5’11”, Provido might not be the tallest, but her vertical leap and all-around tenacity make her a perfect anchor for this fantasy team.
Bella Belen Final Whistle: More Than Just a Dream
Bella Belen’s picks reflect more than skill—they show heart, history, and a deep understanding of what it takes to win. From long-time allies to rivals she now calls teammates, Belen’s dream team isn’t just about stats—it’s about connection, chemistry, and championship DNA. NOWTREND
