De Guzman is coming off a breakout year with Capital1 after winning the Best Middle Blocker in the Reinforced Conference, where the Solar Spikers reached the quarterfinals only to fall short to Cignal in a knockout game despite the 50-point record of Russian Marina Tushova.
The 30-year-old middle blocker played three conferences with Capital1 before jumping ship to Farm Fresh, which is now under Italian coach Alessandro Lodi.
De Guzman will team up with young middle blockers Lorene Toring and Rizza Cruz.
Farm Fresh drafted and signed tall setter Alohi Robins-Hardy and libero Ann Monaeres.
The Foxies open their PVL on Tour campaign on July 1 against the PLDT High Speed Hitters at FilOil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City.
