To this day. LVPI has not yet shown to the public its FIVB letter of full recognition. After paying USD 80,000.00 to fulfill its commitment to FIVB, LVPI has yet to receive its full recognition from the international federation.
The letter of full recognition is very important as it legitimizes LVPI. PVF, the former NSA for volleyball, will be effectively silenced once LVPI obtains a valid and full FIVB recognition. LVPI will have the license to do whatever an official national federation does with the recognition.
But the truth is, LVPI will not be given full FIVB recognition. FIVB President Ary Graca will not risk his position by issuing a fraudulent recognition. The very letter of recognition is proof in itself of an anomaly and will be used against Graca should he issue one. A few member nations of FIVB like the US and Australia know what is happening in Philippine volleyball. So, eyes are on Graca. A mistake will be costly for the FIVB president and ultimately to FIVB as an institution.
Most important of all, the issue of an FIVB recognition at this point in time, is the highest form of respect that LVPI can give its U23 players. The players are doing their best in the current U23 tournament to represent the country well. It is but right that LVPI acknowledges the hard work that the players are putting in. There is no better acknowledgement of such hard work than to prove that there is legitimacy in all of it.
