PBA star Kiefer Ravena and girlfriend Alyssa Valdez will play in an exhibition match tomorrow in the Beach Volleyball Republic On Tour December Open 2018: A Christmas Rally at the Sands SM By The Bay.
The celebrity couple will be up against beach volleyball poster girl Charo Soriano and fan favorite John Vic de Guzman.
Proceeds to the 4 p.m. event will go to Mindanao State University’s College of Sports, Physical Education and Recreation Academy in the war-torn Marawi City which is out to propagate the sport.
Meantime, KR Guzman and Krung Arbasto of Tiger Winx posted two victories to jumpstart their title bid in the men’s division.
Hoping to follow up their title conquest in Dumaguete City last month, Guzman and Arbasto made quick work of Army’s Joshua Barrica and Jaidal Abdulmajid, 21-13, 21-10, and Cignal 1’s Karl Baysa and Josh Villanueva, 21-12, 21-16, to snatch the early lead in three-team Pool B.
With their impressive start, Guzman and Arbasto are tipped to rule the 10th and final leg of the year.
Army, which earlier defeated Cignal 1, 17-21, 21-16, 15-8, fell at 1-1.
Tournament format calls for four brackets of three teams, with the top two pairs in each group advancing will into the knockout quarterfinals.
The winners will make it to the semifinals, where the survivors will clash for the title.
