For heavy hitter Alyssa Valdez, the Philippines’ successful hosting of the Volleyball Nations League (VNL) men’s tournament became a solid proof of the present shift from being a long-time basketball-crazed nation to an obvious volleyball country.
For heavy hitter Alyssa Valdez, the Philippines’ successful hosting of the Volleyball Nations League men’s tournament became a solid proof of the present shift from being a long-time basketball-crazed nation to an obvious volleyball country.
“I think I'm gonna say it. But I think right now, we are a volleyball country or a volleyball nation. Napakasayang makita na punung puno ‘yung arena. It’s so nice to see them both cheering for the USA and Japan. Napakagandang scenario rito sa venue. We’re just really hoping mag-continue ‘yung support ng community sa volleyball in general here in the Philippines and all over the world,” Valdez said, who had a brief interaction with American setter and captain Micah Christenson.
Only this time, the Filipinos surprised the visiting volleyball royalties including Team USA as they flocked the Mall of Asia Arena for six straight days to conclude the country's three-year hosting of the tournament, something that the Creamline spiker wants to become a sustained interest. One way she finds that possible is for the professional men’s volleyball to earn the same reception through the Spikers’ Turf.
