MANILA, Philippines — Lams Lamina emerged as the top overall pick of Galeries Tower in the 2026 Premier Volleyball League (PVL) Rookie Draft on Wednesday night at Novotel.
As expected, the HighRisers picked Lamina to solidify their offense and run the plays for last year’s No.2 pick Jean Asis, Aiza Maizo-Pontillas, Gayle Pascual, Roselle Baliton, and Erika Deloria.
The incoming rookie will work with Julia Coronel, who was a third overall pick of Galeries in 2024.

Lamina brings her experience as a two-time UAAP Best Setter, a three-time champion out of five finals appearances, and an Alas Pilipinas prospect.
Galeries, which landed the top pick in the Draft Lottery last year despite the 30% chance, reached the second phase of the Play-in last All-Filipino Conference before losing to Nxled.
The 2026 Draft Class was hit by two big withdrawals of Alyssa Solomon and Niña Ytang, who opted out to focus on playing for Alas.
