Career

The next day, a tryout was held in her town and she decided to join. Little did Sisi know, this little stint of her would take her to places.[3]
Rondina continued to develop her skills and prowess in volleyball until she became a varsity of her highschool's team.[3] She represented Central Visayas at the different editions of Palarong Pambansa, where she was first discovered by the UST recruitment staff.[3] Eventually, she won the 2013 Palarong Pambansa Best Attacker individual award.[4]
