TODO-suporta ang gobyerno sa 21st FIVB Volleyball Men’s World Championship 2025 samantalang tumiyak ng saklolo ang private sector sa unang solong pagbalikat ng bansa sa prestihiyong torneong nakatakda sa Sept. 12-18.
“We’re grateful for all the work that has been put in for the Philippines to be ready to host this very exciting sports tourism event,” lahad ni Department of Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco, co-chair ng Local Organizing Committee Executive Board kasama sina Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano at William Vincent Araneta Marcos, anak ni Pangulong Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos Jr.
“It’s for the country and we’re very confident that this will be a very memorable and successful hosting by the Philippines that will bring volleyball fans and players from all over the world,” hirit ng Kalihim.
Nagbalik ang LOC Executive Board sa trabaho sa unang comprehensive meeting sa Philippine National Volleyball Federation (PNVF) office, na headquarters din ng FIVB MWCH 2025 sa The BonifacioPrime sa Taguig City.
Kasama ni Frasco sa sina sports patron Manuel V. Pangilinan, Philippine Olympic Committee president Abraham ‘Bambol’ Tolentino, International Volleyball Federation executive vice president at Asian Volleyball Confederation, Philippine National Volleyball Federation president Ramon ‘Tats’ Suzara, PNVF officials Tonyboy Liao, Dr. Arnel Hajan, Karl Chan, Charo Soriano at secretary-general Donaldo Caringal at Philippine Sports Commission chairman Richard Bachmann.
“This is reminiscent of the preparations we made for the FIBA World Cup [2023] but this time it’s 32 countries, so double the number of the participating countries,” hirit ni Pangilinan, Chairman Emiritus ng the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas.
“It’s bigger in participation of countries and tourist arrivals and we’re pleased to partner with government in this efforts,” aniya pa.
Sa nalalabing 245 araw bago pumarito ang 31 ang world’s top volleyball countries at Philippine team na kilala ring Alas Pilipinas, abala na sa operasyon ang bansa, ani Suzara.
“We’re moving forward with the preparations. It’s a lot of work so we need all the support and help from all the stakeholders and sponsors. We’ll make this happen alongside the new slogan of the FIVB, which is ‘Together As One.’ Tuloy-tuloy po tayo.”
Kumpiyansa naman si Bachmann sa pagbalikat ng bansa at ayuda ng pamahalaan para maging pinamakamatagumpay ang edisyon ng torneo sa kasaysayan ng FIVB.
“It’s the same people involved in the FIBA World Cup hosting, from the private sector to the government, legislators and NSAs [national sports association], so we’re confident that this hosting will also be a great success,” sey niya.
At binanggit naman ni Tolentino ang buong suporta ng POC sa FIVB MWCH.
“Just like the FIBA World Cup, the POC is in full support for this hosting,” aniya. “Just like basketball, now it’s volleyball “We’re preparing also for the 2023 SEA Games hosting back in Manila so it’s an all-out preparation for all of us.”
Nasa LOC Executive Board din ang utol ni Cayetano na isang senadora.
Dumalo sa LOC Exeutive Board meeting si Taguig Mayor Lani Cayetano na sinamahan sina Frasco at Pangilinan pagkaraan sa ribbon-cutting ceremony ng PNVF AVC headquarters.
