“Napakaganda po ng court ng beach volleyball dito sa Subic,” Panganiban said on Tuesday’s Philippine Sportswriters Association (PSA) Forum. 

Meanwhile, tournament director Ginio Panganiban is now in isolation at the Subic Bay Peninsular hotel and shared that once players are tested negative, they can start training in the sands. 

“Yung quarantine period, hindi puwedeng may kasama. Kailangan single room siya,” said Panganiban. 

The rest of the teams and staff are set to enter the bubble on Wednesday, according to Panganiban. 

The beach volleyball cup will be aired on Facebook and Youtube.

“We were not able to bring it on free tv because of the shortness of time, but we are negotiating with GMA 7 for future events,” Juico said.
