F2 Logistics bade farewell to the Premier Volleyball League as it shifts its focus on grassroots development, the management announced Wednesday night, Dec. 13.
In a statement posted on social media, the management thanked the league and its fans for all the support throughout their stint.
“The F2 Logistics Cargo Movers Volleyball Team has been more than just a sports team; it has been a source of inspiration and pride for us and, we hope, for all of you,” the statement read.
“We deeply value the relationships built and memories shared with our fans, sponsors, and the entire volleyball community.”
The team debuted in 2016 in the Philippine Superliga where it won five championships, while also bagging the title in the Philippine National Volleyball Federation (PNVF) Champions League for Women in 2021.
That same year, the Cargo Movers joined the PVL where their best finish was a bronze medal in the First All-Filipino Conference early this year.
They also had four silver and three bronze finishers throughout the eight years as a team.
But player injuries hounded the squad including in the ongoing Second All-Filipino Conference, where the Cargo Movers failed to advance to the semifinals after finishing eighth out of 12 teams in the eliminations.
The management, however, said it “remains committed to supporting the growth of Philippine volleyball through the sport at the grassroots level,” where they continue to support the De La Salle University Lady Spikers and expanding their helping hand to the University of Perpetual Help Volleyball team and to other parts of the country.
“The bond we have forged in the F2 Logistics Cargo Movers is one that has stood the test of time and we will continue to be afamily long after that this team is gone,” the statement read.
“We thank you for standing by us and being part of our journey.”
Among the notable players of the Cargo Movers are former La Salle standouts like Aby Maraño, Ara Galang, Dawn Macandili, Majoy Baron, Kim Fajardo and Kianna Dy.
