PVL starts hype with grand fans day

MANILA, Philippines – The Premier Volleyball League will hold a grand fans day and press conference on April 27 at the Trinoma Mall Activity Center, with all eight participating teams joining the one-day festivity that will usher in the forthcoming 2018 season.

No less than the league’s stars headed by Creamline’s Alyssa Valdez, Pocari Sweat-Air Force’s Myla Pablo, PayMaya’s Grethcel Soltones, Tacloban Fighting Waray’s Shola Alvarez and Perlas-BanKo’s Amy Ahomiro will be present in the event set to start at 1 p.m.

The season-ushering PVL Reinforced Conference is set on May 6 at the Filoil Flying V Centre in San Juan City.

“We invite our fans in the PVL to attend the event because they will get to see their favorite players and teams there,” said Ricky Palou of the organizing Sports Vision.

Apart from Palou, ABS-CBN Integrated Sports head Dino Laurena will also be there alongside Palou to give inspirational messages.

Pocari Sweat-Air Force will be out to defend the title it won last year against a stacked field headed by Valdez and the Creamline Smashers, a loaded PayMaya squad mentored by Roger Gorayeb and Perlas-BanKo.

Other teams joining are Petro Gazz, Philippine Navy-Iriga and Open Conference champion Bali Pure, which has tapped National University as its partner school.

After the meet-and-greet, a presser will follow.
