May Luna (born May 3, 1998) is a Filipino volleyball athlete. She is currently a member of the De La Salle University collegiate women's varsity volleyball team and is set to play her rookie year in the Season 78 of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines. She has also played in well-known volleyball tournaments in the country such as Philippine Volleyball Federation National Inter-Collegiate Volleyball Tournament (InterCol), Philippine National Games, Philippine University Games, Palarong Pambansa and Shakey’s G-League.
Life
May 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] Currently, she is taking up Bachelor of Arts in Sports Studies (AB-SPM) at De La Salle University.
Volleyball career
Luna was considered as one of the most hotly-recruited volleyball athlete 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 is on her final year in UAAP.
In May 2015, short after Luna officially joined the DLSU Lady Spikers, she has right away stepped-in to help her team bag awards in tournaments such as PVF National Inter-Collegiate Volleyball Tournament (InterCol) and Philippine National Games (PNG).
In her rookie year, Luna was selected to battle for La Salle against other prestigious schools in the country in UAAP Season 78.[4]
