VolleyFriends celebrate VolleyFriendsary

VolleyFriends

It was only last year that an online volleyball community was established within the Viber Public Chat for the fans of the sport.

Called VolleyFriends, this chat allowed fans to have a glimpse on the lives and interactions of their favorite volleyball stars both on and off the court, providing not just live volleyball game updates but also hilarious memes, throwback photos, the ultra-fun UAAP Campus Invasion, personal milestones, and lots and lots of "kulitan" moments like the "PaYeye Boys."

The aim of the community has been to foster a community of sports excellence, fun, and enjoyment among family and friends. Presented by PLDT Home Ultera, it is composed of Ultera Ambassadors Alyssa Valdez, Aby Marano, Mika Reyes, Peter Torres, JohnVic de Guzman, Ge Tabaquero, among others.

Fan support has been tremendous, as it allowed the Public Chat to have over 100,000 followers.

To celebrate their anniversary, dubbed as "VolleyFriendsary" the VolleyFriends, brought their families, friends, fans, and members of the media for a night of camaraderie, games, and prizes, highlighted by a blocked screening of Camp Sawi at the Robinson's Movieworld inside Robinson's Galleria last August 30.

With the immense volume and loyalty that the fans have shown during its first year, this seems to be just the beginning for the VolleyFriends, as they will continue to take the Philippines by storm locally and internationally on the court, whether through the Philippine SuperLiga or the Shakey's V-League or through the Asian Volleyball Confederation Women's Club Championships or the FIVB Women's Club Championships. Expect the VolleyFriends to continue to build their community with more exciting activities, promos, and online kulitan.
