PHILIPPINE VOLLEYBALL : A CALL TO ACTION

courtesy of pickywallpapers.com

It is now over a year since FIVB issued a letter of recognition to Larong Volleyball sa Pilipinas Incorporated (LVPI). But FIVB, to this day, has yet to issue a statement on why it revoked the recognition of Philippine Volleyball Federation (PVF). For FIVB to cancel the recognition of PVF, the world-governing body must have a valid and all-important reason to do so.  And the Filipino volleyball community certainly deserves to know the reason, at the very least.

But FIVB chooses to sweep the controversy under the rug. Truth of the matter is, FIVB merely listened and relied on the mad rantings of Philippine Olympic Committee and Filipino FIVB official Tats Suzara to arrive at its decision.

Thus to settle the issue once and for all and for closure to be obtained, I encourage all those who truly care and love Philippine volleyball to write to the FIVB BA members to ask why FIVB disenfranchised PVF. Below are the email addresses of the FIVB BA members. Simply copy and paste the addresses to your email and use FIVB BA Members as salutation.

Doug.Beal@usav.org, ameyer@cev.lu, amelwani@link.net, info@voleysur.org, avc.bk@asianvolleyball.net, rita.subowo@nocindonesia.or.id, volleynigeria@yahoo.com, norcecapresident@hotmail.com. scastroverdugo@hotmail.com, hughswong@shaw.ca, craig.carracher@avf.org.au, presidenza@federvolley.it, shanrit.w@gmail.com, jperezalfaro@hotmail.com, info@cavb.org, bva@tvf.org.tr, fpvoleibol@fpvoleibol.pt, president.office.sec@fivb.org 

Collectively, we have a voice that can and will resonate. Together, we can make FIVB stand up and notice our legitimate demand. That we, as a people, ask for an answers. That Filipinos cannot and will not be ignored.

Let us make FIVB respond. Hopefully, FIVB will give an acceptable and intelligent response for all concerned and a closure on the controversy will finally be achieved.
