ALAMEDA, Calif. - At this year's FIFA Women's World Cup, women from the Bay Area will be well represented – and one player on the Filipinas national team carries a familiar last name.

In October 2022, Reina Bonta made her international debut for the Philippines Women's National Team.

In a post-game interview on team's Facebook page, Reina, 24, said while she's honored to play at the international level, she never forgets the name and crest at the front of the jersey.

"I was born and raised to be extremely proud of where my family comes from," she said.

Reina Bonta is the daughter of California Attorney General Rob Bonta and East Bay Assemblywoman Mia Bonta.
