Tonyboy Liao-led PNVF got the blessing of sport’s governing body FIVB – BusinessWorld Online
THE Philippine National Volleyball Federation (PNVF) can now focus on strengthening the national team program after its new set of officials headed by President Tonyboy Liao recently got the blessings of the FIVB, or the sport’s world governing body.
“Our focus is always Philippine volleyball gaining progress,” said Mr. Liao after FIVB Head of Legal and General Counsel Stephen Bock wrote the PNVF a letter on Friday from Lausanne, Switzerland affirming his presidency.
“The FIVB hereby informs you that the election process at the Philippine National Volleyball Federation satisfies the legal and administrative requirements in compliance with the FIVB regulations,” said Mr. Bock.
“Thus, the FIVB confirms that your elections are recognized by the FIVB and will update all of our records, including the FIVB website directory,” he added.
When asked if Tai Bundit had assumed the coaching job of Alas Pilipinas women, Mr. Liao said it’s up to the PNVF board and the Thai’s boss at Criss Cross where the former is the current mentor at the Spikers Turf — Jonathan Ng.
“Will be approved by the Executive board after my meeting with Jojo Ng by the end of the month,” he said. —Joey Villar
