|September 28, 2025
Twenty-one years ago, Brazilian volleyball star Leila Barros captured the hearts of the Filipinos with her beauty and mesmerizing eyes not mention her thunderous spikes during intense action.
The magic, deep love and admiration remain strong until now and avid volleyball fans can still see and fell her aura of beauty and respectability.
Like the first time she visited the country as one of the exciting Brazilian players in the FIVB World Grand Prix Women's Volleyball tournament held at the Philsports Arena in Pasig City, Barros was overwhelmed by the warm hospitality she received right upon her arrival on rainy Friday, Sept. 26.
“I have a lot of good memories here. I always say, we can leave sports, but sports don't leave us,” said Barros through an interpreter after gracing the media on Saturday, Sept. 27.
