CIGNAL has taken a leave of absence from the Premier Volleyball League following its 2025–26 All-Filipino Conference campaign.
The Super Spikers confirmed the development in a statement, just days after finishing their strongest run in recent seasons, which saw them reach the Finals for the first time in franchise history.
“This is to officially announce that the Cignal Super Spikers – Women’s Volleyball Team has filed a Leave of Absence in the Premier Volleyball League,” the team said.
“This difficult decision was taken after careful review of Cignal’s strategic direction.”
The decision comes after a similar move involving the franchise’s Spikers’ Turf men’s program, which also took a leave of absence ahead of its Open Conference.
Cignal recently returned to Finals contention behind Conference MVP Vanie Gandler, who led a core group that included Erika Santos, Gel Cayuna, Dawn Catindig, Rose Doria-Aquino, Jackie Acuña, and Tine Tiamzon.
The Super Spikers concluded their campaign with a Finals loss to the Creamline Cool Smashers, who completed a sweep in the championship series.
Since joining the PVL in 2021, Cignal has recorded three silver medals and five bronze finishes, placing in the top three in eight of the 15 conferences it has participated in.
