to live, to love, to learn, to leave a legacy… and to laugh along the way
The beauty of the PVL games lie in the on-court chess match – the reads, the adjustments, the counterstrikes. The initial skirmishes will tell us how the new recruits fit into the present mold. For the new teams, the arrival of veterans who have championship experience will help create a winners’ culture. The opening salvo promises to provide suspense, strategy and spectacular plays that should define how the season grows.
The PVL is turning bright beginnings into lasting legacies, carefully weaving athletic excellence with a culture of accessibility, respect and trust. The stands are not full by accident; they are the visible heartbeat of a sport growing in confidence and reach. The PVL has been successful in providing a great venue for mostly local talents to shine. In turn, they have gifted us all by becoming very accessible, very friendly, very real.
When the dust settles and the crowd exits exalting a new queen, one thing will be certain: this was the kind of finals that highlights why you fall in love with volleyball – and sports in general – in the first place. It’s not just about who lifts the trophy; it’s about the journey – the grind, the highs, the heartbreaks, and the undeniable, communal joy of the game.
The growth of women’s professional volleyball in the Philippines has been a pleasant surprise. And its increasing popularity among Filipino sports fans was seen in the recent AWV Challenge Cup. Basketball used to be clearly head-and-shoulders above all other spectator sports in the country. But a variety of reasons have somehow affected the popularity of men’s professional basketball. This has given other sports the opportunity to stake their claim on the Philippine sports map.
