Women's volleyball has been gradually increasing in popularity in the Philippines. This new found love affair probably started in the late nineties, when Brazilian Leila Barros caught Filipino hearts. The Shakey's V-League is the Philippines premiere commercial competition, featuring mostly collegiate talents. The teams, however, are allowed a certain number of foreigners to beef up their ranks.

The prolific Thai volleybelles have made an impact in local shores, raising the game of play at the fledging league. The 26-year old Areerat "Eve" Sanorseang is one such example. Sanorseang first came to the Philippines as an import for De La Salle University back in 2007, where she teamed up with the explosive Manilla Santos.
In the 9th season of the V-League, Sanorseang is with the resurgent Far Eastern University Lady Tamaraws. The 5'7 Thai can man the middle, open and utility positions, according to her Facebook fan page. In Thailand, she plays for the Chaiyaphum Volleyball Club.
