Dawn Macandili-Catindig signs with Cignal after F2’s disbandment

By Leobert Julian A. de la Peña

Welcome to the Cignal HD Spikers, Dawn Macandili-Catindig!

In an official update made by the Premier Volleyball League (PVL) franchise, the HD Spikers confirmed that they already inked the veteran libero to a three-year contract last December 22, 2023.

The former Philippine Superliga (PSL) queen and national team staple became the first member of the F2 Logistics Cargo Movers to publicly announce her off-season move following their surprising disbandment in the PVL.

One week ago, F2 Logistics announced that they would be disbanding their Cargo Movers franchise in the PVL.

After several failed campaigns since moving to the PVL from the now-defunct PSL, the F2 Logistics said that they will be halting its Cargo Movers squad and will be focusing on their grassroots programs.

Volleyball fans from all over the country shifted their focus to the Cargo Movers with the expectation that they could also dominate the league when they decided to join the PVL.

However, successive disappointing outings and unfortunate injuries derailed the Cargo Movers’ ultimate plan of ruling the PVL.

In their whole PVL stint, the Cargo Movers failed to move on to the championship round and only managed to clinch a single podium finish in two years.

With her signing with the HD Spikers, a new chapter is set to unfold in Catindig’s professional volleyball career.

The decorated libero will be looking to help Cignal end their PVL drought after finishing the All-Filipino Conference in third place.
