The stage is set for the Shakey's V-League selection to show the stuff it is made of at the Southeast Asian Zonals in Vietnam. With the best female volleyball players of the land in its line-up, the selection is undoubtedly the best the country can come up with.
The harsh reality is that the country's top sports officials see the selection merely as a means to prevent a sanction from being imposed on the country. No less than Romasanta sees the selection placing third out of four competing nations.
But the faith of Filipino fans on the selection is commendable. I find it extremely encouraging that Filipino volleyball fans are one in exhorting the selection to do its best and to carry the flag well. While the selection may not at all be the national team, the love and respect that Filipino volleyball fans give it makes it indeed a national team in essence.
