Malabanan is coming off a two-year hiatus since she last played for Cignal.

The former Far Eastern University standout is playing for a program built by coach Roger Gorayeb, who brought out the best in her and won a title with BaliPure in 2017.

Capital1 is now handled by Alas Pilipinas coach Jorge Souza De Brito, who will inherit a formidable spiker rotation in Belen, Leila Cruz, Malabanan, Shola Alvarez, Jorelle Singh, and Trisha Genesis.
