"Naging varsity ako dati noong elementary, tapos noong nasa Ateneo na ako di na pwede [mag-volleyball], isang [sport] na lang ang pwede," said Ravena.
His rumored girlfriend, Mika Reyes, also plays volleyball for La Salle.
Ravena already had two UAAP championships as part of the Ateneo Blue Eagles.
This year, however, the Blue Eagles failed to reach the finals after succumbing to the National University Bulldogs in the Final 4.
