International competitions
2017 AVC Asian Women's Club Championship
On May 9, 2017, the PSL announced that the PSL All-Stars (playing as "Rebisco-PSL Manila") would represent the Philippines in the 2017 Asian Women’s Club Volleyball Championship held in Ust-Kamenogorsk, Kazakhstan.[1] Originally, the Philippines was to be represented by the 2016 PSL Grand Prix Conference champions, the Foton Tornadoes, which begged off due to its depleted lineup.[2]
Rebisco-PSL Manila finished at last place (8th).[3]
2017 Macau Invitational women's volleyball tournament
On July 14, 2017, a day after the Petron Blaze Spikers won the 2017 All-Filipino conference, PSL president Tats Suzara announced that Petron will play in the 2017 Macau Invitational Women’s Volleyball Tournament to be held on September 23 to 25, 2017 in Macau.[4][5]
