OPEN LETTER TO FIVB AND AVC OFFICIAL SHANRIT WONGPRASERT

courtesy of sports.inquirer.net

Dear Mr. Shanrit Wongprasert,

Greetings from the Philippines.

I am extremely disappointed that you allow yourself to be used to validate the very existence of Larong Volleyball sa Pilipinas Inc. (LVPI). You were quoted by Philippine media saying that Philippine volleyball has progressed through LVPI. With all due respect, just what progress are you referring to ? Do you call the formation of national teams through phone calls at the airport "progress" ?

You have built a good reputation through the years with what you did and continue to do with volleyball in Thailand. From being perennial losers to the Philippines in SEAG, you have managed to put Thailand at 13th best in the world. So I am really surprised that you seem not to know the meaning of the word "progress" when applied to Philippine volleyball.

Please protect your good name by distancing yourself from LVPI and its people. You know very well that FIVB itself is being put in a spot with the acceptance of LVPI as a member. You know very well that you are having a hard time answering the letter I sent you last Dec. 3, 2015. So hard a time, in fact, that you deem it best not to send a response.

Filipino sports officials are the worst in the world. Even your good friend, FIVB Development Commission officer Tats Suzara was ordered by the Bureau of Immigrations (BID) to pay more than half a million pesos for violating immigration laws with his Philippine Superliga.

Please do not allow these unscrupulous sports officials to tarnish your good name and bring you to perdition.

Thank you.

Eric

THE CONNIVANCE BETWEEN FIVB AND LVPI REVEALED

Dear readers,

I wish to present to you solid proof that there was a horrendous connivance between FIVB and the new Philippine volleyball federation, Larong Volleyball sa Pilipinas Inc. (LVPI).

FIVB imposed a requirement for LVPI before it can be granted full recognition. That is, LVPI must first pay to FIVB the sum of eighty - thousand dollars. See http://www.philstar.com/sports/2015/03/25/1437454/volleyball-row-over-lvpi-set-be-recognized-fivb

The deadline for LVPI to settle the payment was set on April 30, 2015. 

LVPI presented to AVC and FIVB the Bank Transfer below as proof of payment of LVPI. The said bank transfer was also presented to media in the Philippines. The bank transfer is shown below.

But an email of FIVB 2nd Executive Vice-President Andre Meyer says that LVPI did not pay on April 30, 2015.

Dear Eric,

I checked to-day with the finance department, the amount of USD 80 000 had not yet been registered in any account.

Best rgards

Instead, LVPI paid on May 14, 2015, as confirmed by Meyer as well.

Dear Eric

Yes I can confirm your membership. The money had arrived yesterday on the FIVB bank account.

I wish you all the best in the future. Hope to see you soon.

Best regards

André

What reeks of connivance between FIVB and LVPI is the letter from FIVB signed by Graca saying that LVPI has been accepted as a member on May 11, 2015. We have to take note that the May 12 indicated on the letter is actually May 11 Manila time.

So why was LVPI accepted as a member when it has yet to fulfill the requirement set by FIVB ? Why was FIVB too eager to accept LVPI as a new member when the payment of the eighty - thousand dollars has not been made to FIVB at the time of LVPI's membership ?

 If that is not highly irregular and a form of connivance, I don't know what is.

LVPI, ITS HORDE OF SPORTS WRITERS AND THE TRUTH

"You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless. - Matthew 5:13

I am sure that people from LVPI know by now what I did. But interestingly enough, no one from their horde of sports writers dare to write about it. Unlike before when just about every move I make much is written. Now there is deafening silence among the servile writers of LVPI. 

The problem with LVPI officials and their writers is that they think that they can suppress the truth and get away with it. They think that they can contain the truth and sell their lies to the Filipino people. But in this day and age, the world has become smaller with the advent of the computer and internet. Information can be verified and immediately passed on from one country to another. And once true information finds its way to people, action can take place. And once people act accordingly, the suppressors of truth will be unmasked, judged and made to face the consequences.

In the end, it is still best to tell the truth. No one can go wrong with the truth. And more importantly, it is best to reveal, protect and use the truth to ensure that good triumphs over evil.

WHY PVF SUPPORTERS WILL NOT BE DEFEATED

courtesy of en.wikipedia.org

It was a year ago when Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) decided to dip its fingers in the affairs of Philippine Volleyball Federation (PVF). It was a year ago when POC Vice-President Joey Romasanta fed lies to Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC) and managed to bring down PVF. With the help of FIVB man Tats Suzara, Romasanta installed Larong Volleyball sa Pilipinas Inc. (LVPI) as the new volleyball federation with himself naturally as president.

Admittedly, support for PVF has decreased through time. The long wait for some form of good news on the case certainly frustrated a lot of PVF supporters.

But a lot more PVF supporters and yours truly remain firm with our support for the following reasons :

1. We have truth on our side. PVF has not resorted to peddling lies to achieve any of its goals.

2. There is integrity in supporting PVF. Our support shows our love for justice, fair play and the truth. We support PVF because of these lofty ideals.

3. We can face anyone at anytime and proudly proclaim our support. There is nothing to be ashamed of in supporting an aggrieved national federation.

4. The people behind PVF are credible and noble. These people have done so much for Philippine volleyball and are not in it for the money. The officers of PVF have not been involved in graft and corruption cases unlike the people behind LVPI.

5. International sports organizations will definitely side with PVF once the truth is revealed to them. There is simply no valid reason for the very existence of LVPI.

Thus, we remain resolute with our support for PVF. We remain committed to uphold justice, fair play and true welfare of Philippine volleyball.

We shall overcome !
