Missing the UAAP Season 86 finals after De La Salle University lost to University of Santo Tomas in the semis, Canino was not in her 100-percent condition since she suffered from a cut on her right forearm.With a chance to redeem herself, the UAAP Season 85 Rookie-MVP is ready to return stronger and embrace a bigger role to represent the Philippines.
Playing with veteran setter Jia Morado-De Guzman, along with PVL aces and UAAP standouts in the national team, Canino revealed that handling the pressure is easier and she wants to show to people her natural form.'There is always pressure since this is a national team, but just like what Jia said, there is less pressure on all of us since we just get to know each other inside the court, and we all have to do is to play our A-game.
