THE FIVB Volleyball Men’s World Championship 2025 fever reached the Visayas in Cebu City on Saturday with no less than worlds ambassador Eya Laure leading a well-attended “Set Na Natin ’To” Trophy and Mascot Tour at the SM Seaside.
Laure gamely frolicked with fans as Cebu pride Karrencita sang the world championship’s official theme “Electrifying” with official mascots Koolog and Kid Lat rallying the enthusiastic crowd for the Alas Pilipinas Men mantra “Laban Alas, Laban Pilipinas!”
“The excitement and enthusiasm toward the FIVB world championship is getting hotter and hotter,” said Ramon “Tats” Suzara, president of both the Philippine National Volleyball Federation and Asian Volleyball Confederation. “The world championship will indeed be a unique and unforgettable experience for Filipino fans.”
Suzara is monitoring preparations for both the country’s hosting chores for the September 12 to 28 men’s world championship from Bangkok, as well as the Alas Pilipinas Men who recently wrapped up their second of three European training camps in Romania.
Suzara, who’s also helping oversee Thailand’s hosting of the women’s world championship that starts Friday, encouraged fans to secure their tickets –via website https://www.philippineswch2025.com --before they become scarce.
Cebu City Sports Commission coach for grassroots Gina Calvez, Central Visayas (Region 7) Department of Tourism operations officer Neal Brylle Guillen and Cebu City sports program coach Dianne Calvez welcomed the Local Organizing Committee marketing team in the event that will have a similar launch in Laoag City in Ilocos Norte this Saturday (August 24) and Cagayan de Oro City on August 31.
The Alas Pilipinas Men, meanwhile, went on a five-hour bus trip from the city of Piatra Neamp to the Romanian capital of Bucharest to take a flight to their final three-leg European training camp in Portugal—the camp kicked off in Morocco last week.
