After her swan song for the green and white, Reyes helped F2 Logistics capture the 2016 Philippine Superliga All-Filipino title with most of DLSU’s championship core, played in the FIVB Women’s Club World Championship before leading the Cargo Movers to a third-place finish in the PSL Grand Prix.

“I have months pa naman para makapagpahinga. Gagawin ko ang puwede kong gawin doon,” said the 5-foot-11 mestiza l ook er.

A talent under Virtual Playground, the 22-year old stunner for the meantime is looking to explore opportunities outside of the volleyball court.

“Marami silang plans for me kasi options pa lang ngayon wala pang final pero siyempre gusto ko rin naman magwork para siyempre ako ang breadwinner sa amin, hindi naman sa hindi enough ang nakukuha ko, pero makakuha pa ako ng pwede pang (extra income),” she said.

“As of now, open pa ako sa lahat ng opportunities pero hindi naman ako totally magsa-stop sa volleyball; open lang ako sa iba pang possibilities na pwedeng mangyari outside sports,” added Reyes, who currently manages a family-owned resort in their hometown in Pulilan, Bulacan.

Asked if she’s open to enter showbiz, Reyes is more inclined into hosting than acting though she can make a good love team to Kapamilya actor Jerome Ponce, whom she currently dates.

“More on sa hosting siguro ako. 'Yun ang gusto ko talaga,” said Reyes.
