MANILA, Philippines – Foton waged a recruiting coup when it secured the services of University of Santo Tomas ace Eya Laure for the Philippine Superliga All-Filipino Conference. Laure, who carried the Tigresses to a dramatic finals stint in Season 81 of the UAAP, will make her debut when this prestigious women’s club league opens on June 15. She will be reunited with her older sister, EJ Laure, who will be finally making a return after a year of absence due to shoulder injury. Also joining the Tornadoes are University of the East playmaker Laizah Bendong and former University of the Philippines stalwarts Marian Buitre and Justine Dorog. After ruling the Grand Prix in 2015 and 2016, the performance of the Tornadoes somehow dipped as they failed to return to the finals.
