REBISCO—a staunch supporter of Philippine volleyball from the grassroots, campus, professional and national levels—is going all out for the Philippine National Volleyball Federation’s (PNVF) Champion’s League in November.
The snacks and biscuits company is the platinum sponsor of the Champions League, the first national league ever organized in the country’s volleyball program with men’s and women’s events.
The women’s event will take place from November 20 to 25 while the men’s contest is set from November 29 to December 4, both in Lipa City, Batangas.
Rebisco’s professional volleyball teams, Creamline Cool Smashers and Choco Mucho Flying Titans, will not participate in the event.
Rebisco team managers Alan Acero for Creamline and Rolando Delfino for Choco Mucho said the two teams were given time to rest and recharge, mentally and physically, and for them to reconnect with family after their hectic training and playing schedule since April this year.
“We commend the PNVF for this competition that brings together the country’s top caliber teams, not just from the PVL [Premier Volleyball League], but from the regions as well,” said Noric Ng, business unit head of Rebisco. “Metro Manila teams will be competing with provincial squads and this is a big step in our common dream to grow the sport.”
Ng added: “Next year, the PNVF intends to welcome more teams across the country as well. We at Rebisco are happy that our national volleyball program is moving in the right direction.”
