PVL heads to Tuguegarao for exhibition games

MANILA, Philippines — The Premier Volleyball League will go on tour as it holds two exhibition games on October 7 at the People’s Gym in Tuguegarao.

 

Pocari Sweat, the three-time PVL champion, will play Creamline, which will be led by former Ateneo star setter Jia Morado, at 5:30 p.m. San Sebastian, a squad headed by former league MVP Grethcel Soltones, will clash with Banko-Perlas in the other game at 3:30 p.m.

 

It will be a historic first for the PVL, which will be partnering with the Beach Volleyball Republic — headed by one of its founders Charo Soriano — to hold games outside the National Capital Region.

 

“We just want to go straight to our fans from the provinces and show our appreciation to them for supporting the PVL through the years,” said Ricky Palou, from the organizing Sports Vision.

 

The “PVL on Tour” is also scheduled to hold more games in Bacolod City on October 17 and Iloilo on October 18.

 

There are also plans of visiting San Juan, Batangas, tentatively on October 15.
