The Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB) officially recognized the affiliation of the Philippine National Volleyball Federation Inc. (PNVFI) on Sunday evening, February 7 (Monday, February 8).
A total of 155 confederations out of a possible 190 votes approved the recognition of the PNVFI in the third and final day of the international federation’s world congress.
Out of a possible 190 votes, 3 said no, 13 abstained and 20 said they did not receive the question.
The official recognition was carried out after the FIVB requested the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) to stage a local election for the country’s volleyball federation.
The congress also voted to expel the Philippine Volleyball Federation as an affiliate, which got 138 yes votes, 16 no votes, 15 abstain and 22 did not receive the question.
The entire PNVF Board thanked the FIVB and all the confederations for the overwhelming support during the 37th Congress,
“We now proudly banner the honor and the responsibility of being affiliated to both the international federation and the Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC),” said PNVFI president Ramon “Tats” Suzara.
Besides Suzara, the other officials of the PNVFI are Arnel Hajan (vice president), Ariel Paredes (chairman) Donaldo Caringal (secretary general), Rod Roque (treasurer), Yul Benosa (auditor) and board members Ricky Palou, Tony Boy Liao, Karl Chan, Charo Soriano, Carmela Gamboa, Fr.
