Larong Volleyball sa Pilipinas, Inc. (lit. Volleyball Sport in the Philippines) is the current national governing body (NSA) for volleyball in the Philippines recognized by the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC), the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC), the Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC) and the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB).
Larong Volleyball sa Pilipinas, Inc. (LVPI) was formed in a restructuring effort by the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) through their president Peping Cojuangco following a power struggle which emerged at the formerly POC-recognized Philippine Volleyball Federation (PVF) due to two colliding factions between the group of now-PVF president Edgardo "Boy" Cantada and the group of now-PVF secretary general Karl Chan and now-PVF managing director Otie Camangian but it was later reconciled and united.
LVPI was formed together with four of the Manila-based major stakeholders - the UAAP, the NCAA, the Shakey's V-League/Spikers' Turf (under Sports Vision Management Group, Inc.) and the Philippine Super Liga (under SportsCore Events Management). Provincial stakeholders were snubbed for joining the LVPI due to current alignment with the PVF.
The POC withdrew its recognition of the PVF when it learned that there are two federations (PVF) for volleyball registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the same name (the old 2005 recognition and the updated 2014 recognition).
LVPI was incorporated by POC 1st vice-president, Team Philippines Chef de Mission for the 2016 Rio Olympics and Asian Volleyball Confederation Board Member Joey Romasanta, POC (and University of Perpetual Help System) official Ret. Army Col. Jeff Tamayo, POC legal counsel Atty. Ramon Malinao, POC official Marine B/Gen. Benjamin "Chippy" Espiritu, and former Ateneo de Manila University athletics director and Sports Vision president Richard Palou with the intent of replacing PVF as the national sport association for volleyball in the Philippines. The POC received a letter dated January 27, 2014 from the FIVB indicating that it is giving provisional membership to the newly formed LVPI. The FIVB required LVPI to hold an election not before February 15, 2015.
