00:00Signed by the Philippine National Volleyball Federation, or PNVF,
00:04the historic FIVB Men's World Championships draw is now set to arrive this Saturday.
00:11Bernadette Pinoy will give you the details.
00:16Announced by the Philippine National Volleyball Federation and the Asian Volleyball Confederation President Ramon Tatsuzara,
00:23the historic FIVB Men's World Championships draw is now set to arrive this Saturday.
00:29It's a historic event because this is the first time the country will host a solo hosting of the prestigious FIVB Men's World Championships.
00:36This past weekend, the Philippines and Japan teams faced off in the PNVF Invitationals as a one-year countdown to the World Championships.
00:45The agency also released a list of the 32 countries participating in the tournament
00:50as the country's main fan-favorite teams in Japan and the USA, and the defending champion, Italy.
00:57I love and I want to see you and witness the historic draw on Saturday, 7 p.m. at Solaire Resort Hotel here at Moa.
01:06Meanwhile, Tatsuzara also played the situation of volleyball star Jaja Santiago in his campaign to play for the Japan national team.
01:15He explained that there is a new regulation issued by the FIVB that needs to be followed by the federations.
01:21So with Jaja now, just to make it clear, because I told Jaja that I supported her because of the FIVB, because of this new rule.
01:30The problem is Jaja already played for the national team in the Philippines three or four times already.
01:36So with the new rule, last year, she can never play with Japan.
