A superb showcase of Boholano resilience and determination, even when circumstances were against the odds.
Our Boholano Sand Spikers once again proved that they belong to the upper echelon of beach volleyball in the country after securing a Bronze Medal in the Boys’ Category and advancing to the Championship Round in both the Girls’ and Women’s Categories of the National PRISAA Games 2026 in the City of Smiles — Bacolod City.
Out of the 17 participating regions in the country, our teams now stand among the final two remaining teams competing for the national title in both categories — a testament to the hard work, resilience, and determination of our Boholano athletes.
The tournament is set to conclude in exciting fashion as the Girls’ Team battles CALABARZON – Region IV-A, followed by the Women’s Team facing Region V – Bicol in their respective championship matches.
Both the Girls’ and Women’s teams are composed of athletes from University of Bohol under the stewardship of Coach Lem J. With the boys settling for a hard-earned Bronze Medal, the girls and women now carry the hopes of Boholanos in their quest for Gold on the sand courts this year.
We extend our best wishes to the players — Cheska Resoginto, Angel Destiny Balucan, and Yzobella Cielo Lorete for the Girls’ Team; and Aisha Aranas, Melca Valle, and Ella Mae Bocablo for the Women’s Team.
Beach volleyball will be the final tournament event remaining in the annual National Games which will end today, May 15, 2026, and all eyes will now be focused on the championship round.
Good luck and best wishes to our Boholano Sand Spikers. Bring home the Gold and continue making Bohol proud!
