Tagum cops will carry Philippine flag in FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour Manila Open

Two young lady police officers from Tagum City Police Office will represent the Philippines in the first-ever FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour Manila Open, dubbed as the biggest international beach volleyball event to be held in Philippine shores, which will be held on May 3 until May 6 at the SM Sands By The Bay.
The FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour is the worldwide professional beach volleyball tournament for both men’s and women’s competition organized by the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB).
PO1s Karen Quilario and Lourdilyn Catubag got the slot in the biggest beach volleyball tournament in the history of the Philippines after they successfully  defended their Beach Volleyball Republic National Championship crown in Dagupan City Pangasinan in a dominating fashion.
Quilario and Catubag earlier defended their crown without any single loss in the prestigious national beach volleyball tournament which features some of the top beach volleyball players in the Philippines.
Quilario and Catubag  swept the group stage, 3-0, before making quick work of Charo Soriano and Bea Tan in the women's division semifinals, 21-12, 21-14.
The Davao police officers then repeated over Iloilo's Jackie Estoquia and DM Demontano in the Final, scoring a convincing 21-10, 21-14 victory.
It's the second straight BVR National title for Catubag and Quilario after also handling business in 2017 in Cagayan.
Soriano and Tan won third place.
Aside from the two police officers, the other representatives of the Philippines in the tournament are  Jackie Estoquia and DM Demontaño of Team Ilo-Ilo, and Charo Soriano and Bea Tan of Seafront Residences, and the pair of Dzi Gervacio and Sisi Rondina.
The Women’s Division will have the main draw right away that will be composed of 16 teams, four of which is from the Philippines.
A cash prize of $10,000 and tourney points for qualification in other FIVB beach volley tourneys awaits the winner of the intense action in the sands that will be contested by a total of 32 teams in the Men’s and Women’s Division from 23 participating countries.
