LVPI OFFICIALS THRIVE ON THE IGNORANCE AND GULLIBILITY OF PLAYERS

The incident where Aby Marano calls in the middle of the night to invite volleyball players for the VTV Cup is a shameless display of LVPI officials exploiting the ignorance and gullibility of athletes.

LVPI officials know very well that players are just so desperate to play. So desperate in fact that these players do not mind losing their dignity in the process. Marano acted like she was merely inviting friends to attend her party when she called up several players for the tournament in Vietnam. What she did is not only inappropriate but an insult to all former national volleyball players who worked hard to earn his or her spot in the national team. It is a travesty in the highest order as the formation of a team set to compete in a tournament abroad is reduced to a mere phone call.

The incident clearly shows too the utter lack of respect of LVPI officials for the Philippine team. That LVPI officials see the Philippine team to be so trivial that a player can actually call her fellow players to form the team. It is such an insult to the players, team and country as a whole. This is what players must realize. LVPI officials reduce players to mere pawns in a cruel game that they play. Players must think and analyze to better understand the manipulation, exploitation and disrespect that they are being subjected to.

Nearly everyone in the volleyball community has taken a strong, well-thought of and defined stand in the current problem involving PVF and LVPI. Why can't volleyball players do the same ?
