Volleyball fans based in the north are set for a treat, as the "Set Na Natin 'To" trophy and mascot tour heads to Laoag on August 24.
Fresh from being at SM Seaside in Cebu last Saturday, the tour will take foothold at the newly-opened SM City Laoag.
In addition, a mini tournament is slated to take place at Dap Ayan Park, according to Ilocos Norte Volleyball president Faivo Bartolome, who also serves as Sports Consultant for the province.
According to Bartolome, invitations have been sent out to key government officials, led by Ilocos Norte Governor Cecilia Marcos and Vice Governor Matthew Manotoc, as well as Laoag Mayor James Bryan Alcid and Vice Mayor Rey Carlos FariƱas.
Block Builders, Laoag MVT, PSQ, and NWU comprise the four-team field.
Activities are to start at 10am, with the formal program proceedings to take place starting at 6pm.
After Laoag, the three-city tour will conclude on August 30 at Cagayan de Oro, with SM Downtown set to host their own event.
Meanwhile, Philippine National Volleyball Federation president Ramon "Tats" Suzara shares some good news relating to Alas Pilipinas.
Suzara says that both Bryan Bagunas and Marck Espejo have recovered from their respective injuries, providing an actual boost for Alas Pilipinas as they continue their preparations in Europe.
The team is currently in Santo Tirso, Portugal for their final phase of preparations.
