The Philippines men's national volleyball team represents Philippines in international volleyball competitions and friendly matches, governed by Philippine National Volleyball Federation since 2021.

History

The national team played as early as the 1910s playing at the 1913 Far Eastern Championship Games where the first international volleyball competition was played. [1]

In the contemporary era, men's volleyball in the Philippines receive less attention than the women's. [2]

The men's national team under coach Dante Alinsunurin would win a silver medal at the 2019 Southeast Asian Games hosted at home marking a milestone in men's volleyball in the Philippines. [2] [3]

However the COVID-19 pandemic would halt training of the men's national team as well as domestic league. This caused the team not be able to repeat their podium finish in the 2021 Southeast Asian Games in Vietnam, which was postponed by a year due to the health crisis. [4] [5]

Alinsunurin was dropped as coach by January 2023, [6] with Brazilian coach Sergio Veloso taking over the team due to participate in the 2023 Southeast Asian Games in Cambodia. [4]

In March 2024, the Philippines was awarded the hosting rights for the 2025 FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship, [7] consequentially giving the men's national team an automatic berth to their first ever world championship. [8]

As part of the host national team's preparation they entered the 2025 AVC Men's Volleyball Champions League as a club named Cignal HD (namesake of a Spiker's Turf club of the same name). The staff decided not to use any foreign reinforcement despite being allowed to use up to three. [9] They also had a training camp in Morocco, Romania and Portugal. [10]

They made their debut at the 2025 FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship. They lost their opening game to Tunisia but later a historic win against Egypt. [11] They exited the tournament with a close 2–3 lost to Iran. [12] [13] They finished 19th place. [14]

The men's national volleyball team was previously known as Bagwis, adopted in 2015 when the national team was still under the Philippine Volleyball Federation under team sponsor PLDT Inc. It has a literal meaning of "wings". It also can be referred to as a Filipino comic character, Bagwis, a warrior angel modeled after the Archangel Michael, and has superhuman strength. [15] [16] Due to the Philippine Volleyball Federation leadership issue and the formation of its successor, Larong Volleyball sa Pilipinas, the monicker and the initial pool the PVF built for the 2015 SEA Games was later disbanded.

The Philippine men's national team is known by their moniker "Alas Pilipinas", with Alas meaning "Ace" in Filipino. The nickname is an official designation by the Philippine National Volleyball Federation in partnership with sponsor Cignal TV. Adopted on May 15, 2024, the moniker is shared with all national indoor and beach volleyball teams of the Philippines, including the youth teams. [17]

Colors

Like most Philippine national teams, the national colors of blue, white, and red have been used in national team uniforms throughout history. Aside from the usual colors that don the Philippine jersey, the team has also bannered black-colored jerseys, notably during the 2005 SEA Games. Depending on the opponent, the red or blue-colored uniforms can be their light or dark uniforms, while their white-colored jerseys are their default light-colored shirts.

FIVB Senior World Ranking

The new calculation method of the FIVB Senior World Rankings started on January 1, 2019, granted all nations automatic world ranking (WR) 100 points, in addition to the score from the previous FIVB World Ranking. The new calculation provides that any inactive nation every January 1 will lose 50 WR points for the next year. An inactive team reaching a WR score of less than 20 WR points will be removed from the ranking list. [18] Due to inactivity or non-participation in annual FIVB-sanctioned events, the Philippines lost 50 WR points and was removed from the world rankings. The Philippine men's national volleyball team became active again in an FIVB-sanctioned event during the 2023 Asian Men's Volleyball Challenge Cup, hence, their reinstatement in the world rankings with 50 WR points.
