MANILA, Philippines — The future of Philippine volleyball takes the spotlight beginning today as the Premier Volleyball League unveils its Season 2 Collegiate Conference at the Filoil Flying V Center in San Juan with eight teams setting out to foil National U’s back-to-back title drive.

San Beda gets the first crack at NU as the Red Spikers tangle with the Lady Bulldogs, who swept the Far Eastern U Lady Tams to clinch the inaugural PVL crown last year, in the 4 p.m. main game following the 2 p.m. clash between the Adamson Lady Falcons and the Perpetual Help Altalettes.

With the core of the team that played and placed sixth in the recent PVL Reinforced Conference, NU looms as the team to beat again although the eight others have also primed up for the event which also serves as part of the schools’ buildup for their respective upcoming leagues.

Though the Lady Bulldogs will be without last year’s top players Jaja Santiago and Aiko Urdas, they remain a strong force on a team built around incoming rookie setter Joyme Cagande, Ivy Lacsina, libero Jennifer Nierva, Princess Robles and high school star Faith Nisperos.
