Athletes from Premier Volleyball League and Spikers’ Turf received recognition at the first-ever PVL Press Corps Awards held Wednesday, May 28, 2025, at Novotel Manila Araneta City.
The Press Corps Awards, comprised of respected digital and print media personalities covering the leagues, recognized outstanding achievements in the country’s top women’s volleyball league and its men’s counterpart.
During the ceremony, PVL President Ricky Palou emphasized the event’s broader significance beyond individual awards.
“Tonight, we shine the spotlight on those who stood tallest, leapt highest, and dug deepest. In truth, each of you—every player, coach, staff member, and team—emerged victorious,” Palou said.
ArenaPlus, a major sponsor, received a special citation award from the PVL Press Corps for their continued partnership and support.
PVL Press Corps President Lance Agcaoili reflected on the league’s remarkable journey from humble beginnings.
“Tonight wasn’t just about a night to celebrate greatness—it was about honoring the journey. From an empty arena in Bacarra, Ilocos Norte, when PVL debuted as a professional league under a bubble format amid the covid-19 pandemic, to reaching greater heights with record-breaking gate attendance and intense, dramatic, and heart-stopping games. We celebrate it all,” Agcaoili stated.
ArenaPlus, known as a digital entertainment platform, positions itself as a sports advocate, believing sports connects communities toward common goals and creates opportunities through collaboration.
The partnership between ArenaPlus and PVL demonstrates how organizations can unite to support Philippine sports and inspire the broader sports community.
