Gregorio crosses fingers on PNVF row
MANILA, Philippines — Thirty days.
This is the time frame that Philippine Sports Commission chairman Patrick Gregrio is looking at for the Philippine National Volleyball Federation to get out of a tight fix.
“I hope by mid-July the problem will be fixed so that we can prepare for the Asian Games,” said Gregorio during yesterday’s Power and Play with Kom Noli Eala at One PH.
The 30-day deadline was given by the FIVB, the world governing body in the sport, during its meeting with Gregorio and PNVF officials last week.
During that discussion, the FIVB, through the ad hoc committee it sent to the Philippines, came up with an eight-point road map for the PNVF to get its suspension lifted.
The PNVF is also under suspension from the Philippine Olympic Committee.
“We’re praying and hoping this issue will end so that we can move forward in protecting Philippine volleyball,” said Gregorio.
