UMAYUDA ang Globe sa determinadong kampanya ng Philippine Volcanoes sa pinakamalaking rugby tournament sa Asia na magsisilbing qualifying para sa 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Pinangunahan ni Globe Chairman Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala ang isinagawang send-off ceremony para sa Volcanoes kamakailan para sa pagsabak sa Rugby Sevens event tungo sa Olympics sa Nov.23-24 sa Incheon, South Korea.
Makakaharap nila sa qualifying meet ang Guam, Hong Kong, India, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Thailand at United Arab Emirates.
“I’ve been a great believer in sports. It brings national unity and brings our distinct communities of Filipinos from different backgrounds together. I think we have tremendous talent here. I wish you much luck and have no doubt that you guys will be there and make the country proud,” pahayag ni Zobel.
Mabigat ang laban, ngunit determinado ang Volcanoes na makamit ang huling tiket na nakalaan sa Asia Olympic Qualifying Tournament.

“The opposition is very strong. We can’t discount the determination of the other teams to get into the Olympics especially Hong Kong and host South Korea. All teams participating in Incheon are expected to give their all and leave everything on the pitch. But we are equally steadfast too to make it to the Tokyo Games and bring honor and glory to our country,” sambit ni Jake Letts, dating national player at ngayo’y General Manager ng Philippine Volcanoes.
Kaagapay ng Volcanoes ang Globe mula pa noong 2010.
Target ng Volcanoes na tanghaling unang Pinoy team sports na makalaro sa Olympics.
Sa kasalukuyan, tanging sina pole vault Ernest John Obiena at gymnast Carlo Yulo ang Pinoy na kwalipikado na sa Tokyo Games. Nalagpasan ni Obiena ang Olympic Standard na 5.80 meters sa men’s pole vault sa torneo sa Salto Con L’asta sa Piazza Chiari 2019 sa Italy nitong September, habang nagwagi ng gintong medalya si Yulo sa World Championship.
