MANILA -- Capital1 extended a hand to aspiring volleyball players during their recent visit to Cebu as part of the Premier Volleyball League's schedule for its 2024-25 All-Filipino Conference.
Not only did the Solar Spikers play against Galeries Tower at the Minglanilla Sports Complex, but they also held a series of volleyball clinics in Cebu City and Lapu-Lapu City.
The initiative was spearheaded by team owner Milka Romero and led by Solar Spikers stars Iris Tolenada, Leila Cruz, Roma Mae Doromal, Jorelle Singh, and Des Clemente. Coach Roger Gorayeb was also on hand to oversee the clinic.

"Ako po bilang atleta na-experience ko yung laban, yung pride to play for your country and I want to make that accessible for any dreamers, for any Filipino, young or experienced to be able to have the needs and essentials to grow in their field of sports," said Romero.
"This event came into my own experience because, growing up, I looked up to my idols. I couldn’t reach where I am now without my idols, so as the first nominee of the 1Pacman Party List, I want the game to be accessible to the nation," she added.
Unfortunately for Capital1, they came out short against the Highrisers in their match, with Galeries Tower hacking out a 26-24, 25-14, 25-23 sweep in front of 5,000 fans.
In the other game, Cignal HD completed a sweep of Nxled.
