If given a clearance to mount volleyball games, the Rebisco Volleyball League is planning to conduct five pre-qualifying legs this year.
Metro Sports Vice President for Operations Johanz Buenvenida revealed that they are eyeing matches to be done in Iloilo City, Iloilo province, Bacolod City, Aklan, and Capiz.
The Iloilo City pre-qualifying leg is tentatively scheduled on May 17 to 18 at the Iloilo Doctors College Nursing Gym while the Iloilo Province leg is slated May 19 to 20 at the Bingawan Civic Center in Bingawan, Iloilo. There is still no schedule and venue for the pre-qualifying legs of Bacolod City, Aklan and Capiz.
“As soon as medyo maayos na yung condition natin at mabigyan ng clearance, we will launch the RVL 2020,” Buenvenida.
“We will continue and as part of his legacy kami ‘yung magpapatuloy,” he added, pertaining to the late Freddie Infante, who was at the grassroots of the volleyball program.
To recall, in 2019, Bacolod Tay Tung High School Thunderbolts represented Western Visayas in the Rebisco Volleyball League National Finals after beating Central Philippine University Golden Lions in the regional finals in Bacolod City. However, they ranked fourth after bowing to Hawaii.
After the national finals, Tay Tung products also landed to various Manila-based schools. Joan Marie Monares will suit up for the University of the Philippines while Erika Deloria, Shane Carmona and Rhean Almendralejo will join the Enderun College.IMT
