This Filipina defensive midfielder dominates the pitch with fierce aggression and brilliant tactical instincts, having returned from a severe spinal injury that almost ended her career to become even more relentless.

Despite her uncompromising mentality on the field, she remains a remarkably friendly and relatable presence off it.
