PLDT Fibr brings Phl volleyball team to int’l arena

MANILA, Philippines - PLDT big boss Manuel V. Pangilinan has always been very vocal about his passionate vision to see sporting glory once again descend upon Philippine sports and its athletes. This advocacy for youth development and sports excellence is shared by the MVP group.

That is why through PLDT Home and its most powerful broadband connection Fibr, the MVP group throws its full support behind the Philippine Volleyball Squad’s participation in the Asian Volleyball Championship from Sept. 13 to 21 in Thailand.

“We see great potential for sports excellence in these athletes,” said Gary Dujali, VP and head of PLDT Home Fibr broadband. “It is with great pride that the most powerful broadband is supporting the country’s most powerful volleyball team.”

MVP supports a number of sports endeavors, including Smart Gilas basketball team which triumphantly snagged the silver medal in the FIBA Championship held recently, and the national Taekwondo team which won gold and silver medals in the World Youth Championship in China also recently.

The Philippine Volleyball team was introduced at a press conference held last Friday at Aracama in The Fort Bonifacio Global City, along with coach Nes Pamilar who revealed that the team is a product of intensive try-outs and stringent selection from players belonging to the top collegiate teams and the Philippine Super Liga. 

Among the top players in the squad are team captain Angeli Tabaquero, Aiza Maizo-Pontillas, Angelique Beatrice Dionela.
