‘Kandidatura ng LVPI sa POC election, i-disqualify—PVF

Nasa balag ng alanganin ang kandidatura ng Larong Volleyball sa Pilipinas Inc. (LVPI).

Ito’y matapos na umapela ang Philippine Volleyball Federation (PVF) kay Olympic Committee (POC) president Abraham ‘Bambol’ Tolentino.

Sinulatan ni PVF President Edgardo “Tito Boy” Cantada (may petsang Nov. 5, 2020) tungkol sa apela.

Turan ng PVF sa POC, siyasatin ang isyu sa volleyball at i-disqualified sa idaraos na POC election sa November 27. Ani ng samahan, hindi dapat mapasali sa regular voting member ang LVPI.

Ito ay dahil sa kinasasangkutang isyu tungkol sa estado ng pampalakasan sa bansa.

 “First, LVPI is not affiliated to its International Federation (IF). Its affiliation to FIVB, in fact, was rejected by no less than the FIVB General Assembly during the 36th FIVB World Congress in Cancun, Mexico.”

“It is PVF that remains a member of FIVB from the Philippines. Affiliation to a corresponding IF, as you very well know, is a requirement for POC membership.”

“Second, PVF was never expelled from the POC by the POC General Assembly. Thus, the membership of PVF remains valid and active. Hence, LVPI cannot be recognized as the NSA for volleyball with PVF’s POC membership still active,” ani Cantada.
