MVP susuporta sa FIVB World Championship

BUHOS ang suporta ni sports patron Manny V. Pangilinan (MVP) upang maging matagumpay ang pagdaraos ng prestihiyosong FIVB Volleyball Men World Championship sa Setyembre 12 hanggang 28 sa susunod na taon.

Inihayag ni Pangilinan ang buong suporta nito sa isang meeting na ginanap sa PLDT office sa Makati City kasama sina Philippine National Volleyball Fe­deration (PNVF) president Ramon “Tats” Suzara, MVP Sports Foundation president Al. Panlilio at PLDT Business Transformation Group Head Ricky Vargas.

“Mr. MVP has once again brought the mea­ning of sports patron to a superlative level. With Mr. MVP’s commitment, the Local Organizing Committee [LOC) will be shifting to a higher gear preparations for the world championship which is a little over a year away,” ani Suzara.

Mas lalong tumataas ang kumpiyansa ng Alas Pilipinas na maganda ang inilalaro sa international tournaments.

Kabilang na rito ang da­lawang sunod na bronze-medal finish sa Southeast Asia Men’s V.League na ginanap sa Manila at Indo­nesia.

“Those bronze medals are already milestones for Philippine men’s volleyball in Southeast Asia. The program is working and we are confident that Alas Pilipinas will make an impact in the world championship,” dagdag ni Suzara.

Sa FIVB MWCH 2025, may 32 matitikas na koponan mula sa iba’t ibang panig ng mundo ang magbabakbakan sa Smart Araneta Coliseum sa Quezon City at Mall of Asia Arena sa Pasay City.

Idaraos ang draw sa Setyembre 14 na susundan ng friendly matches sa pagitan ng dalawang Japanese club teams at Alas Pilipinas Men at Women squads sa Setyembre 7 at 8 na gaganapin sa PhilSports Arena sa Pasig City.

“We are all excited about this historic hosting because Filipino fans will get the opportunity to witness elite volleyball action from 32 teams,” ani Suzara.
