Caitlin Viray is finding her rhythm again with the Choco Mucho Flying Titans, and it’s starting to show in the 2026–27 PVL All-Filipino Conference Siklab Series.
The 28-year-old opposite spent three years with the Flying Titans before moving to the Farm Fresh Foxies, where she played in 2024 and 2025. She returned to Choco Mucho early this year. Only now, after two years away, is she fully comfortable again in head coach Dante Alinsunurin’s system.
Viray Starting to Settle In Again
She was a key part of Choco Mucho’s 21-25, 25-17, 25-19, 25-14 win over the Galeries Tower Highrisers on Tuesday at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium in Manila. Viray scored 11 points and took over late in the fourth set to help close out the match.
“Siyempre, super happy na nakabalik ako, sobrang laking bagay na… I think fit ako sa system ni coach, and every day tinatrabaho namin. So, very grateful sa team, and ‘yung sipag namin every day, yung hustle namin sa training,” said Viray.
“Siguro mas madali yung adjustment, nung una siyempre nangapa kasi two years din ako nawala, nag-pick up lang ako kung saan ako nag-stop noong umalis, malaking bagay na ano familiar na ako sa system ni coach talaga.”
A Team With a Plan
The win came right after Choco Mucho’s five-set loss to Farm Fresh. In that game, Viray had 9 points in limited minutes under the conference’s all-to-play format.
Viray credited much of the team’s progress to how clearly the coaching staff has laid out its plans.
“Siguro, ‘yung nakita ko talaga na firm talaga sila sa system nila, eto ‘yung gusto nilang mangyari, eto ‘yung direksyon na pupuntahan natin. And so madali na hindi paiba-iba, and nakikita namin ‘yung tiyaga nila coach sa amin and ‘yung tiwala na binibigay sa amin every game,” she said.
Choco Mucho will next face the Nxled Chameleons on Tuesday, November 3, at 6:00 p.m. at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.
