Pilipino Star Ngayon

MANILA, Philippines — Ipinakita ng Pilipinas na kaya ng mga Pinoy na mangasiwa ng isang ma­laking torneo kagaya ng ka­tatapos na FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour Manila Open.

Hindi naitago ni Beach Volleyball Republic co-founder Charo Soriano ang kanyang kasiyahan ma­tapos ang matagumpay na pamamahala sa interna­tional beach volleyball tournament.

“I'm very much humbled and very happy. It's was ve­ry fulfilling to see the number of people watching and the amount of support that we are getting for beach volleyball -- not only for the Philippine team but even for other athletes as well,” wika ni Soriano.

Sa harap ng mga fans sa Sands SM By The Bay ay umiskor sina Ayumi Ku­sano at Takemi Nishibori ng Japan ng 21-14, 21-18 pa­nalo laban kina Maria Belen Carro at Paula Soria ng Spain para angkinin ang gold medal sa women’s division.  

Naghari naman sina Max-Jonas Karpa at Milan Sievers ng Germany sa men’s class matapos ta­lunin sina Petr Bakhnar at Taras Myskiv ng Russia,15-21, 23-21, 15-9.

“Hopefully this is the start. This can be the catalyst for what we really want, which is beach volleyball to be here in the Philippines. And it’s a sport for the masses talaga. A sport that people can enjoy and that everybody can learn to love as well,” ani Soriano.
