The PayMaya High Flyers or the PLDT Volleyball Club were a professional women's volleyball team.
The women's team shared the same name as the men's team throughout most of its existence. In 2018, the women's team deviated and was named after the PayMaya service of PLDT Inc.
It was merged to Smart Prepaid Giga Hitters, an affiliate women's team in 2018.
The PayMaya High Flyers debuted in 2013 as the PLDT myDSL Speed Boosters women's team in the Philippine Superliga (PSL) during the 2013 Invitational Conference. A men's team debuted in the following conference.
In 2014, while participating in the PSL, the club joined in the Shakey's V-League with its women's team as the PLDT Home Telpad Turbo Boosters during the 2014 Open Conference.[1]
The club ended its participation in the PSL after the 2014 season. In 2015, the club competed under the name PLDT Home Ultera Ultra Fast Hitters.[2] becoming its first champion.[3]
The club became dormant in 2016 and 2017. The women's team returned to active competition in 2018 in the Premier Volleyball League (formerly, Shakey's V-League and Spikers’ Turf) as the PayMaya High Flyers. The men's team retained the PLDT brand and competed as the PLDT Home Fibr Ultra Fast Hitters.[4]
In September 2018, the women's team was merged with the Smart Prepaid Giga Hitters, its affiliate team in the PSL.[5]
