MANILA – Ten teams will take part in the return of the Premier Volleyball League (PVL).

The league announced on Monday night that holdovers Creamline, Choco Mucho, Petro Gazz, Banko Perlas, Balipure will return for the upcoming Open Conference scheduled to open in May.

PLDT is making a comeback to the league formerly known as the Shakey's V-League, tagging along sister team Cignal, which made the jump from the Philippine Superliga.

On the other hand, Peak Form, another PVL debutant, will now be playing under the name UAC Energy Holdings.

Interestingly enough, the team will carry the moniker "Power Hitters" much like PLDT's team name.

Meanwhile, two military teams, Army and Air Force have also confirmed their participation.

Due to the rules on enlisted soldiers playing in professional leagues, both Army and Air Force will be considered guest teams.

All the matches will be played at the Inspire Sports Academy in Calamba, Laguna as part of a bubble amid the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. (PNA)
