By: Leobert Julian A. de la Peña

One of the best sibling duos in the Philippine volleyball scene, Jaja Santiago and Dindin Santiago-Manabat, are currently playing as imports in Japan.

With the current season separating both of them, it was added motivation to excel more for the both of them.

Jaja re-signed with the Ageo Medics while Dindin has found a new home in Kurobe squad.

With the sisters’ separation from each other, their rivalry is now being anticipated not only by the Japanese but the Filipinos as well.

So far, Jaja already scored one against her sister, where the Ageo Medics turned down Kurobe in just 4 sets.

It was all love and happiness for the sisters, as Jaja was happy for Dindin where she obtained a longer playing time in her newfound home.

As the season continues, the twins said that any time the PH will call their attention for national team duties, they will do all their best to fly home because the country is still their priority.
