IF you base everything on prevailing rules and by-laws, the curious case of the Philippine Volleyball Federation (PVF) is easy to decide. The PVF is the federation recognized by the FIVB, the world governing body of volleyball. In fact, during the 2018 FIVB World Congress held in Cancun, Mexico, the FIVB General Assembly rejected the […]
MATAPOS ang mahigit dalawang dekadang paghihintay ay makakamtan na rin ni dating world boxing champion Luisito Espinosa ang katarungan at mapapasakanya na ang mahigit P6.5 milyong cash purse mula sa kanyang laban noong 1997. Ipinag-utos ng Korte Suprema sa mga kaanak at tagapagmana ng nasirang promoter ng kanyang laban noon kay Carlos Rios ng Argentina […]
