Veteran volleyball coach Roger Gorayeb is raring to return to the call of duty when he tries to steer the revamped PLDT Home Fibr squad in the Premier Volleyball League (PVL).
Gorayeb, a cancer survivor, expects a tall order entering the PVL in molding the newcomers and veterans of the team, which transfered to the PVL from its stint in the Philippine Superliga (PSL).
“Unang-una siyempre masaya… parang homecoming talaga (First of all, I’m happy… this is like a homecoming for me),” said Gorayeb during Wednesday’s episode of The Game on One Sports, Feb. 23, joined by former NCAA MVP Shola Alvarez. “There’s no place like home, diyan ako nagsimula. Diyan na rin siguro tayo magtatapos, sa PVL. Sana (There’s no place like home, that’s where I started. I think this is where it will end too, hopefully in the PVL).”

Philippine Superliga teams PLDT and Cignal are set to transfer to the Premier Volleyball League.
Organizer Sports Vision President Ricky Palou confirmed this Thursday night a few hours after the league announced its three-year broadcast partnership with Cignal TV.
“We’ve got PLDT. They confirmed that they are joining the PVL and likewise the Cignal team,” Palou said during guesting in The Game on One Sports+.
Known as the PLDT Home Fibr Hitters in the Superliga, the team won bronze in the 2019 Grand Prix Conference under coach Roger Gorayeb. Their last stint was at the 2019 Invitational, where they finished fifth.
