THE MVP Group, headed by chairman and staunch sports advocate Manuel V. Pangilinan, formalized its ironclad support for the Philippine National Volleyball Federation (PNVF) for the historic staging of the FIVB Volleyball Men\u2019s World Championship Philippines 2025 from September 12 to 28.<\/p>\n
Pangilinan and PNVF president Ramon \u201cTats\u201d Suzara sealed the deal yesterday (Monday) at the Lighthouse in Meralco Building in Ortigas, signaling another fruitful partnership two years after teaming up in the rousing success of the FIBA Basketball World Cup hosting in 2023.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the pleasure of the MVP group to support the PNVF. It\u2019s only about two years ago when we hosted the Basketball World Cup and now, we\u2019re hosting volleyball as part of our vision in promoting the Philippine as a sporting and tourism destination,\u201d said Pangilinan, who brings along PLDT, Smart, Meralco, Metro Pacific Investments, Cignal and mWell as among the few companies under his belt for an all-out backing to PNVF.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe wish the federation well in its hosting duties and we want to reaffirm our support for the world-class event,\u201d Pangilinan said. \u201cAll the best, Tats.\u201d<\/p>\n
PLDT, the county\u2019s largest telecommunications network, will serve as the official broadband internet partner, while media giant Cignal TV is the official broadcast partner of the men\u2019s volleyball world conclave that will be hosted by the country for the first time ever.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe MVP group has been supporting our national teams and this partnership signifies our shared vision to uplift the sport, inspire athletes and galvanize fans across the nation together as one. Maraming salamat boss MVP. Mabuhay po ang MVP Group of Companies,\u201d added Suzara, also the concurrent executive vice president of the FIVB and the president of the Asian Volleyball Confederation.<\/p>\n
\u201cTogether, we will deliver an event that involves the spirit of volleyball and reinforces our commitment to excellence and sportsmanship,\u201d Suzara added.<\/p>\n
In 2023, Suzara served as the chief implementer and master planner of the FIBA World Cup organizing committee en route to a successful staging led by Pangilinan, the chairman emeritus of the then host federation Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s now the turn of the PNVF with Suzara at helm with a major backing from Pangilinan, who eyes a larger vision of making the Philippines a mecca of world-class sports with the 32-nation men\u2019s volleyball slugfest as the largest delegation in history.<\/p>\n
Leading the pack is world No. 57 Alas Pilipinas, which will make a rousing return to the world stage for the first time since the 1971 edition in Mexico.<\/p>\n
\u201cTats was also with us in the FIBA World Cup. It gets repeated for 2025, this time for volleyball. We\u2019re looking forward sa women\u2019s event naman next time as the Philippines should be known as a sporting nation,\u201d added Pangilinan.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor 2-3 weeks, we\u2019ll be at the center of the volleyball and sporting world. It\u2019s a very important event for the country and this is something that deserves support from our group and the Philippine government. We\u2019d like to see more of these international events for the country to be known as a sporting hub in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n
The tie-up between the PNVF and MVP Group of Companies comes on the heels of the federation\u2019s announcement of K-Pop boy group BOYNEXTDOOR as the headliner in the explosive ceremony on Sept. 12.<\/p>\n
Two months ago, the PNVF also announced Honda as one of its major partners along with the MVP Group of Companies after naming Alas stars Bryan Bagunas and Eya Laure as official ambassadors.<\/p>\n
Indie pop-folk band Ben&Ben is the official music partner with their song \u201cTriumph\u201d serving as the official song of the men\u2019s volleyball world joust as the PNVF braces for the 100-day countdown in June.<\/p>\n
Preparations are in full swing, assured Suzara, with the PNVF also lining up a bevy of promotional events including the Trophy Tour, International Road Show, Mascot Contest and Launch, Media Broadcast Conference, Team Managers Meeting and Test Events around the country and the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
