On Sunday, the HD Spikers will square off with the Thunderbelles at 4 p.m., followed by the Cool Smashers-Crossovers match up in the main game at 6:30 p.m.

The HD Spikers will have Ilonggas Pearl An Denura and Ria “Buding” Duremdes and Negrense Maria Jessa Ordiales, while the Cool Smashers have Aklanon Rizza Mandapat.
“We are very thankful to the PVL for allowing Passi City to host a pair of double-header PVL on Tour games,” Gametime Sports founder Rodolfo Go Villaruz told Panay News.
“The Ilonggo volleyball fans were very much looking forward to this since before the pandemic hit us as this was an opportunity for them to be closer to their volleyball idols again,” he added./PN
