The Maharlika Pilipinas Volleyball Association (MPVA) is expanding its tournament to include a men’s division, featuring seven teams that will begin competing on November 21 at Colegio San Agustin Gym in Biñan City, Laguna.
MPVA Director Ian Laurel said Senator Manny Pacquiao pushed for the expansion, citing his interest in volleyball and his vision of developing the sport in the country.
The inaugural home-and-away tournament will open with matches between San Pedro City and Pasay, followed by host Biñan against Sta. Rosa.
Other participating teams include Marikina, Dasmariñas City, and Imus City.
The league will also require each team to have at least 12 homegrown players to strengthen community support and provide local talents with opportunities.
