Dear Mr. Dimzon,
We note the points in your e-mail dated February 18, 2015, and appreciate your continuing concern in the women's national volleyball team and its participation in the upcoming SEA Games in June 5-16, 2015 in Singapore.
Like you, we are eager to ensure that we have a women's volleyball team play in the tournament after a ten-year hiatus.
We have looked into the nuances of the events from last September up to the present especially in so far as it affects the team's participation in the SEAG and other international tournaments as well as the players in the national team.
As it stands, the current volleyball NSA provisionally recognized by the FIVB is the Larong Volleyball Sa Pilipinas, Inc. (LVPI). It will be holding its elections on February 23, 2015. Due as well to the IOC rule proscribing political intervention in purely internal affairs of the NSA's, it is best to allow the LVPI go through such democratic process sans external intervention.
In any event, we have taken the initiative to formally get in touch with the POC and PSC to shed more light into this matter.
Finally, while we exercised prudence and restraint in calling for a Senate investigation to allow the stakeholders resolve the matters themselves, should the matter remain unresolved so as to jeopardize the team's participation in SEAG, rest assured that we will not hesitate to timely intervene.
Again, we reiterate our common vision and objective of ensuring our women's volleyball team in the upcoming SEAG.
Sincerely,Office of Senator Sonny Angara
Senate of the Philippines
Pasay City
