THE Premier Volleyball League and the Samahang Weightlifting ng Pilipinas will be the center of discussion in the first session of the Philippine Sportswriters Association Forum for June.
Representing the PVL are league President Ricky Palou and Chairman of PVL Control Committee Sherwin Malonzo, while SWP President Monico Puentevella represents the weightlifting part in the public sports program to be held at the conference hall of the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex.
Palou and Malonzo will discuss the coming PVL draft on June 8 at the Novotel Manila at the Araneta Center, and what lies ahead for the coming new season.
Puentevella talks about the staging of weightlifting as a demonstration sport in the just concluded Palarong Pambansa in Laoag, Ilocos Norte, and the junior weightlifters who competed in various international meets this year.
The SWP chief also invited the country’s first Olympic gold medalist, Hidilyn Diaz, to attend the public sports program that starts at 10:30 a.m.
Backed by San Miguel Corporation, Philippine Sports Commission, Philippine Olympic Committee, Milo, Smart/PLDT, and the country’s 24/7 sports app ArenaPlus, the Forum is livestreamed via the PSA Facebook page fb.com/PhilippineSportswritersAssociation.
