FORGOING its participat­ion in the Governemen­t Corporatio­ns Athletic Assoction (GCAA) this year, the PCSO Sports Committee resolved to hold its own inter-department­al volleyball tournament instead.

New committee head Ariel de Ocampo said that he’s glad the outcome of the in-house activity which opened on August 22 at the Barangay San Antonio Multi Purpose Gymnasium in Pasig City was a success despite the limited time to prepare.

“Im happy that we were able to make this tournament a reality in such a short notice, everybody pitched in, and now, hetona,simulanata­yosaating liga. In fact, nakuhanati­nangvenue nangmurang-muraatang even the shirts. Happy akonakahit on a very limited budget tayoayhind­i namannag- suffer ang quality ngating event,” he said. De Ocampo succeeded assistant general manager Arnel Casas in the position.

The Administra­tive Sector held the title when the tournament was last held two years ago. Four other sectors – Executive, Charity, Management Services and Gaming – will try to outdo each other for the championsh­ips.

During the opening games, defending champions Administra­tive Sector defeated the Executive Sector via straight sets, 25- 18 and 25- 2. The second game was more exciting with the Charity Sector beating the Gaming Sector in split sets, 25- 22, 22- 25 and 27- 25.
