“We are presenting the men and women of Philippine volleyball who will do battle in two important tournaments later this year,” wika ni PNVF President Ramon “Tats” Suzara sa isang press conference na dinaluhan nina secretary general Donald Caringal, National Team Commission chair TonyBoy Liao at coaches Dante Alinsunurin (volleyball men), Odjie Mamon (volleyball women), Paul Jan Doloiras (beach volleyball men) at Rhovyl Verayo (beach volleyball women).

“In selecting the members of the pool, we put into strong consideration the athletes’ skills and potentials to improve, and as importantly, their dedication to flag and country, and their visibly inate qualities,” dagdag ni Suzara.

Ang pool ay pinaghalong veterans at collegiate standouts.
