MANILA – Veteran setter Kim Fajardo is expected to speed up PLDT in the Premier Volleyball League (PVL).

A former member of the disbanded F2 Logistics which opted to focus on the grassroots development of the sport, Fajardo has officially joined the High Speed Hitters, the team announced on Friday.

"Setter Kim Fajardo aims for a resurgence as she officially joins the PLDT High Speed Hitters for the 2024 season of the PVL," the welcome post said.

She was also a six-time PSL Best Setter and guided F2 Logistics to multiple championships in the now-defunct league.

"We are all SET in this department with your arrival, Kimmy! LET'S DO THIS!!!" it added.

Fajardo, 30, will help Rhea Dimaculangan and the rest of the High Speed Hitters overcome their podium-less campaigns in the PVL.

PLDT ended the 2023 season with fifth-place finish in the 2nd All-Filipino Conference last month.

With the team, she aims not only to regain her health but also to lead the franchise to its first-ever professional title.

“Gusto kong maibalik 'yung dati kong kondisyon. Kayang kaya pa basta with the proper mindset and the guidance of my new coaches and teammates. Nakaka-excite lang isipin na bago lahat," Fajardo said.
