Five top officials of FIVB are coming to Manila next week to "fix" the problem in Philippine volleyball. But what is the real problem in Philippine volleyball at this point in time anyway?
The problem does not really involve the determination of the true FIVB member for the Philippines. That has been resolved at the 36th FIVB World Congress in Cancun, Mexico with PVF voted as the one and only member of FIVB from the Philippines.
The problem really involves the FIVB BA decision to grant provisional membership with all the rights to LVPI. When the FIVB GA voted to keep PVF as FIVB member, LVPI was effectively removed from FIVB. As a result of the FIVB GA decision, LVPI was disaffiliated from FIVB.
But the influence of certain Filipino sports officials enables LVPI to continue acting like a member of FIVB. With the help of the FIVB BA and POC, LVPI continues to enjoy full rights as a national federation at the expense of PVF.
But the FIVB GA has had enough. It questioned the highly illegal decision of the FIVB BA decision in May 2019. With the pressure exerted by the highest authority in FIVB, FIVB BA decided to come to Manila to show a semblance of an objective attempt to "fix" the problem.
To cut a long story short, top FIVB official are scheduled to arrive in Manila to enforce and apply the decision of the FIVB GA. That is, put PVF as the national federation, with all its rights, in Philippine volleyball.
