MANILA, Philippines — The return of volleyball gets pushed back as the Philippine Superliga reset the IATF-approved PSL Invitational Beach Volleyball Challenge Cup from Nov. 28-30 in Subic to mid-February 2021.
PSL chairman Philip Ella Juico said the league deemed it best to reschedule after taking into account severe weather disturbances hitting the area, the safety of participants, and the effectivity of frontliners assigned to both monitor the Challenge Cup and render essential public services during a calamity.
“Taking a conservative and proactive position, Central Luzon, which includes the SBMA industrial zone, may sustain heavy damage to be inflicted by (typhoons) ‘Rolly’ and ‘Siony’ within days of each other for the next several weeks, starting Sunday,” Juico said.
According to Juico, league officials understood the situation of the agencies, which will be at the frontline in efforts to alleviate the suffering of thousands in Central Luzon to be directly affected by nature’s wrath and the damage to infrastructure and the disruption of public services.
