Personal life
editMay Luna, also known as "Mayang" was born in Tagum City, Philippines. She is the youngest of 7 siblings. Even before moving to Manila, Luna has already earned an amount of popularity back in her hometown Davao.[1] She studies a Bachelor of Arts in Sports Studies (AB-SPM) at De La Salle University.
Career
editLuna was considered one of the most hotly recruited volleyball athletes in the country in 2015.[2] In order to get the commitment of this young Davaoeña, it took a coach such that of DLSU's Ramil de Jesus to personally travel to Davao to recruit this promising athlete.[3] Since then, she was tagged as the ‘heir apparent’ to MVP and former Team Captain Ara Galang, who was on her final year in UAAP.
She won the 2nd Best Outside Spiker of the Shakey's G-League in 2015.[4] In her rookie year, Luna was selected to play for La Salle in the UAAP Season 78.
