THE semifinals of the Premier Volleyball League yesterday at the Philsports Arena in Pasig City was canceled due to a power outage in the area.
The highly anticipated knockout Final Four matches, featuring unbeaten Akari battling No. 4 PLDT and second-seed Cignal battling No. 3 Creamline have been reset to Saturday (Aug. 31) at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
The finals will be held on Monday, Sept. 2, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.
Continuous rains over the past few days have caused power outage in the area. The severe weather has led to significant damage to several Meralco posts supplying electricity to the Philsports Arena, making the facility inoperable for the scheduled event.
All tickets purchased for the original date will automatically be refunded, with the refund amount credited back to the original payment method, whether it be a bank account, card, or e-wallet.
In a statement, the PVL sincerely apologized for any inconvenience caused by this change and expressed appreciation for the understanding and patience of all those affected.
The league remains committed to ensuring a secure and enjoyable environment for its events and is working diligently to ensure a smooth transition to the new venue and date.
