The Philippines’ solo hosting of the FIVB Volleyball Men’s World Championship 2025 took one giant stride after First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos vowed her full support during an historic organizational meeting in Malacañang on Tuesday.
First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos and presidential son William Vincent Araneta Marcos with Philippine National Volleyball Federation vice president Ricky Palou and secretary-general Donaldo Caringal, Philippine Sports Commission chairman Richard Bachmann, Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco, Senator Alan Peter Cayetano, Volleyball World CEO Finn Taylor, PNVF president Ramon “Tats” Suzara and national player Bryan Bagunas.
In firming up Malacanang’s support, the First Lady asked youngest presidential son William Vincent Araneta Marcos to join the meeting that also set the foundation of the Local Organizing Committee for the 32-nation — including the Philippines — world championship set September 12-28 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum and SM Mall of Asia Arena.
“All systems are now off and running and we’re bound to become the best host ever for the world championship,” the senator added, emphasizing the need for all channels to cover for wider reach of the global event. Frasco, for her part, assured the DOT’s comprehensive and encompassing support to the event. “The DOT will form a consortium for attractive packages for fans — foreign and local — with all efforts bordering on our “Love The Philippines” campaign,” she said.
