Volleyball community umalma; LVPI, walang alam sa ITC.
PATULOY ang pagkilos ng mga player sa volleyball community at tagahanga sa ‘social media’ upang labanan at pigilan ang tila ‘mafia’ na pagkilos ng ilang opisyal na sumisira at yumuyurak sa pagyabong ng sports.
Walang takot na inilabas nina dating Ateneo player Charo Soriano, Bea Tan at Dzi Gervacio – founder ng Beach Volleyball Republic – ang apat na pahinang panawagan para labanan ang korupsyon at manipulasyon ni Tatz Suzara sa Philippine Volleyball.
BALITAnaw: Ang dalawang babaeng naging pangulo ng Pilipinas
“Players, referees, coaches have long been quiet. Our opinions are based from the facts that we know. Getting the attention of our leaders and the influencers of Philippine Volleyball is a start for us. The ITC (International Transfer Certificate) is just one problem, amongst others. And now, seeing the response of all those concerned with the Philippine Volleyball Community, we hope that we will be able to open an avenue for all our voices to be heard, as well,” mensahe ng tatlo.
“We are players, trying to be team owners/managers, promoters of the sport, losing sleep everyday trying to figure out what the next step will be for the Philippine Volleyball that we wish to have. The only good (or worst) thing about this is, we see past beyond these adversities and deprivation because we know the battle is bigger than us and the only way to overcome this is to stop thinking that our voices will not be heard, that we are small,”
‘In light of Sir Tat Suzara’s demand for an apology we would like to let the public know that we acted as a result of frustration of what has been going on in Philippine Volleyball. Although others may have seen it as recklessness, we were in no way trying to disrespect anyone. It was, and is in fact, us trying to reach out to those who hold true authority,” anila.
Nauna rito, hiniling ni Suzara, pangulo ng Philippine Super League (PSL) ang ‘apology’ mula sa tatlong premyadong players bunsod ng kanilang pahayag sa nag-trending na #IbigayMoNaTatsSuzara sa ‘social media’ kasabay nang pagtangi na siya ang dahilan kung bakit hindi naisyuhan ng ITC ang mga foreign player na import sana sa kasalukuyang Premier Volleyball League (PVL) – karibal na liga ng PSL.
Ang ITC ang dokumento na ‘requirement’ para sa mga foreign player para payagang makalaro bilang import sa liga sa ibang bansa.
Narito ang ilang mensahe sa Twitter:
You say you care for the sport but obviously you only care about yourself. IM DONE BEING BULLIED. Bato bato sa langit. #IbigayMoNaTatsSuzara — Angeline Gervacio (@dzigervacio) May 13, 2017
We begged. We did what we can to ask our federation for help. All for the love of Volleyball. But all to no avail.

Sa dokumentong inilabas ng tatlo, iginiit nilang maging ang Larong Volleyball ng Pilipinas, Inc. – ang national sports association sa volleyball – na pinamumunuan ni Jose ‘Joey’ Romasanta ay walang access sa ITC bagkus tanging ang nangangalang Randy Tandoc – tauhan ni Suzara sa PSL – ang nakakaalam sa code ng naturang ITC account na dapat ay tanging ang sports association (LVPI) lamang ang nakakaalam.
“Why has PVL been having a difficult time acquiring ITCs for the club teams/ Who has access over the ITC, who holds the username/password? Who is the one who has authority over the ITC? Why is it not with LVPI? How come club teams have not been given access when it fact the Club teams should have? Ayon sa mensahe ng tatlo.
Kinatigan ni PVL president Ricky Palou ang pahayag ng mga dating player.
“We’ve gone through the database of the website of FIVB and the one who holds the ITC username and password is Randy Tandoc, who is an employee of the PSL. He works for CSB and at the same time, he works for PSL, and therefore, the username and password is held by Tats Suzara, which is very irregular because the FIVB say the username and password must be in the possession of the national federation, which is this case is the LVPI,” pahayag ni Palou.
“Since 2015, when we first encountered this problem, I have been trying to get (Joey) Romasanta [LVPI president] to get hold of the user name and password. He didn’t do it,” aniya.
Sina Palou, Suzara at Romasanta ay magkakasama nang itatag ang LVPI bilang kapalit ng Philippine Volleyball Federation na hanggang sa kasalukuyan ay ipinaglalaban ni PVF president Edgardo ‘Tito Boy’ Cantada ang pagkilala sa FIVB (International Volleyball Federation).
“Let us be united in pursuit of reason and truth, instead of breaking apart. We ultimately hope, that stakeholders will move forward with resolve and not remain passive with issues concerning the sport of volleyball,” panawagan sa mensahe. (Edwin G. Rollon)
