Cignal will begin the new year without two of its top spikers.
Team captain Ces Molina and starting middle blocker Riri Meneses had both played pivotal roles in transforming the HD Spikers into title contenders after a lackluster debut season in 2021.
The two have opted not to renew their contracts as the team prepares for the resumption of the 2024-25 All-Filipino Conference.
Avior Talent Management announced the development on Thursday afternoon.
“Ces Molina, Marivic Meneses, and Avior Talent Management extend their heartfelt gratitude to the Cignal HD Spikers management for the unwavering support and opportunities provided to Frances Xinia Molina and Marivic Meneses over the past three years,” the agency said in a statement.
