The Motolite Power Builders were a women's volleyball team in the Philippines. The team competed in the Premier Volleyball League in 2019 and is owned by Philippine Batteries Inc., with the company naming the team after its subsidiary, Motolite Batteries.

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]
