The hardwood of Paco Arena will be under intense heat once again this Sunday, March 1, 2026, as the UNTV Volleyball League Season 4 continues its high-stakes preliminary round.
In the opening salvo, the AFP Lady Gunners are set to collide with the COMELEC Suffragettes in a match defined by tactical precision.
Both teams are looking to secure a vital win to climb the leaderboards, with AFP relying on their disciplined, military-grade defense to counter the strategic plays of a hungry COMELEC side.
Fans can expect a grueling match over the net as these public servants trade spikes for their chosen charities.
The intensity shifts gears in the second match as the defending champion PNP Lady Patrollers face off against the league’s newcomer, the Pag-IBIG Fund Lady Smashers.
The PNP squad, known for their relentless "Lady Patroller" energy and veteran presence, will be a massive test for the Lady Smashers.
After a narrow loss in their debut, Coach Tony Arellano’s Pag-IBIG team is eager to prove they belong in the winner’s circle.
It’s a classic battle of established power versus rookie ambition, and with both teams vying for momentum, the rallies are expected to be long and the atmosphere electric.
Capping off the triple-header is a fierce showdown between the DFA Emissaries and the BFP Lady Firefighters.
The BFP squad, coming off a rigorous training camp and led by standout performers like Gang Abellana, is known for their "never-say-die" attitude on the floor.
However, the DFA Emissaries are no pushovers, bringing a sophisticated offensive rhythm that can dismantle even the toughest defenses.
As the final whistle approaches on Sunday, this match will likely determine which team truly has the endurance to stay at the top of the Season 4 standings.
Come with us at the Paco Arena or watch us live on social media channels of UNTV Sports to witness high-stakes battles between these public servants.
MANILA—The NHA Home Masters spoiled the debut of the Pag-IBIG Fund Lady Smashers with a commanding 3-1 victory during the UNTV Volleyball League clash at the Paco Arena in Manila on February 25, 2026.
NHA set a blistering pace early on, clinching the first two sets 25-18 and 25-22 before the Lady Smashers managed to claw back a set. However, the Home Masters slammed the door shut in the fourth, finishing the match with a 25-19 clincher.
Angelica Nidoy earned Best Player of the Game honors after delivering a masterclass performance, fueling the NHA offense with a massive 27 points consisting of 24 clinical attacks, 1 block, and 2 service aces.
The BPOG celebrated the first win of her team, but admitted they still have to adjust their errors in their upcoming trainings
“Yung mga errors po namin, yun po yung mga aaralin sa mga susunod na training namin.”—Angelica Nidoy said in the post-game interview.
Despite the loss, the newly-formed Pag-IBIG Fund squad showed flashes of brilliance throughout the four-set battle.
Head coach Tonell Arellano remained optimistic about his team's trajectory, viewing the debut as a foundational step for the season.
“Magiging aggressive pa kami sa paloan, sa sistema namin sa blockings kasi medyo nagkulang po talaga kami doon and hopefully po makuha po namin yung panalo namin first win sa PNP.”—coach Tonell Arellano said.
Looking ahead to their next fixture, Arellano promised a more disciplined and aggressive approach, vowing that the Lady Smashers will return with a heightened focus on both their floor defense and frontline attacking.
MANILA—The PhilHealth Health Insurers delivered a masterclass in efficiency, dismantling the DFA Emissaries in a commanding straight-sets victory, 25-16, 25-16, 25-18, during the second match of the UNTV Volleyball League triple-header last February 25, 2026, at the Paco Arena in Manila.
From the opening serve, PhilHealth asserted their dominance with a relentless offensive rhythm that left the Emissaries struggling to find an answer.
The Health Insurers’ cohesive floor defense and sharp transitions allowed them to dictate the pace of all three sets, ensuring DFA never gained the momentum needed to threaten a comeback.
Standing at the center of the onslaught was the former middle blocker from NCMH Wellness Warriors Tin Miralles, who earned Best Player of the Game honors with a stellar all-around performance.
Miralles was unstoppable at the net and behind the service line, racking 15 points built on 11 thunderous attacks and 4 service aces.
Her ability to pierce through the DFA defense during crucial rallies provided the spark PhilHealth needed to close out the match early.
With this decisive sweep, the Health Insurers solidify their standing in the league, carrying a wave of momentum as the tournament intensifies.
MANILA—The DENR Lawin Spikers made a thunderous entrance into the UNTV Volleyball League Season 4, clinching a decisive victory over fellow newcomers MMDA Lady Spikers last February 25, 2026, at the Paco Arena in Manila in a clean slate, 3-0 (25-19, 25-19, 25-16).
While the league’s opening ceremonies were held just days prior at the FilOil EcoOil Centre, the action shifted to the Paco hardwood for this highly anticipated clash of the debutants.
The Lawin Spikers wasted no time establishing their presence, utilizing a relentless offensive attack and airtight floor defense to outmaneuver the MMDA squad in a straight-sets masterclass that signaled their intent to be serious title contenders.
Best player of the game was given to Regine Cabrera for an outstanding performance of 21 points featuring her 17 attacks and 4 service aces.
Cabrera shared her excitement playing in the UNTV Volleyball League as it was her first time representing DENR Lawin Spikers.
“To be honest po, sobrang excited ako kasi first time ko pong sumali dito and sobrang happy ako na kasama ko yung DENR para irepresent at makasama sila.” Regine Cabrera said in a post interview with Ms. Rheena Villamor-Camara.
From the opening serve, the atmosphere at Paco Arena was electric as both government agencies brought their "A-game" to the court for their first-ever league appearance.
The MMDA Lady Spikers showed flashes of brilliance with gritty rallies and tactical serves, but they ultimately struggled to ground the high-flying Lawin Spikers, who capitalized on every transition opportunity.
This win not only marks a historic first for the DENR volleyball program but also sets the stage for a competitive season where every "Win for Charity" counts.
Fans can expect more high-octane action as these public servants continue to battle for sports excellence and their chosen beneficiaries.
SAN JUAN—The FilOil EcoOil Centre erupted yesterday as UNTV Volleyball League (UVL) Season 4 officially launched, transforming government frontliners into high-powered athletes for a cause.
Far more than a trophy race, the UVL continues its "Sports and Charity" mission, where every competition translates into a charitable aid.
This year, P1 million in charitable funding is on the line, with teams competing exclusively to give help to their chosen beneficiaries.
A total of ten formidable teams have entered the arena this year, showcasing a mix of seasoned veterans and hungry newcomers. The participating agencies are:
During the ceremony, UNTV Volleyball League Commissioner Ronnie Magsanoc delivered a resonant message centered on empowerment and inclusivity.
He emphasized that the league serves as a vital platform for showcasing the talent and strength of women in the government workforce.
"Sa lahat ng kababaihan na kabilang ng UNTV Volleyball League, ito po ay isang pagtaas ng watawat ng kababaihan for equal rights," Magsanoc stated.
His remarks underscored the league's commitment to gender equality, framing every spike and serve as a symbolic win for women’s representation in the sporting world.
The opening day set a high bar for the season, fueled by the vision of BMPI CEO Daniel Razon to provide a stage where government employees can excel outside the office.
With the championship prize destined for charity, the stakes remain incredibly high for the 10 competing squads.
As the tournament progresses, fans can expect intense action and professional-level play from these public servants, all while they uphold the league’s core value: that the true victory lies in helping those in need.
