Motolite previously sponsored the Ateneo Lady Eagles team during the 2018 Open Conference before establishing this team.[1]

History

Before establishing the Power Builders, Motolite sponsored the Ateneo Lady Eagles Volleyball Team for the 2018 Premier Volleyball League Open Conference with Oliver Almadro taking up coaching duties.[2] In the following 2019 Reinforced Conference, Motolite established its own team, the Power Builders, with a new set of players headed by Myla Pablo.[1]

Motolite decided to take a leave of absence from the PVL for the 2021 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As of 2025, the team has yet to make a return.[3]
