"Even among us, it’s a very definitive relationship," he added."Twenty years is nothing to scoff at – the organizations grew up."From an event once relegated to tiny gyms, volleyball has grown to be a major sport in the country with the help of the network. "Basketball was the main sport for the UAAP. We were covering the basketball games and the finals of the volleyball only and the finals of volleyball was just held at the old UP gym," recalled Ramos.
