Career
Originally, Rondina first found her love for sports in track and field, where she would usually grace the sands of the beach near her home. It was only in her 3rd grade where, with her mother, she first held a volleyball on her hands. 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.
Rondina continued to develop her skills and prowess in volleyball until she became a varsity of her highschool's team. She represented Central Visayas at the different editions of Palarong Pambansa, where she was first discovered by the UST recruitment staff.
Rondina got enrolled to the University of Santo Tomas. She won the Palarong Pambansa Best Attacker individual award in 2013.[3]
