THE Premier Volleyball League (PVL) is guaranteeing a conference to remember as it stages the Second All-Filipino Conference on Sunday at the Smart Arena Coliseum in the biggest gathering of volley talents spread out among 12 teams.

We are dedicated to providing the highest level of volleyball competition in the country and this tournament will undoubtedly deliver on that promise.”
