Bagwis Pilipinas (PVF)

In September 2014, the Philippine Volleyball Federation (PVF), then the national federation for volleyball, held tryouts for the national women's and men's volleyball teams. In October 2014, the PVF announced the names of the eighteen players chosen to comprise the national training pool (known as Bagwis Pilipinas).^[3] From the pool, 14 will be selected (12 main players and 2 reserve players) to compose the final team. Bagwis Pilipinas and its female counterpart, Amihan Pilipinas, are sponsored by the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company. The team was set to represent the Philippines in international events of 2015, until a power struggle ensued resulting in the PVF losing its accreditation from the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) and the FIVB as the national sports federation for volleyball.^[4][5]
