Cagayan de Oro provided over the weekend another electrifying reception to the forthcoming 2025 FIVB Men’s World Volleyball Championship to wrap up the three-city “Set Na Natin ‘To Trophy and Mascot Tour” at the SM Downtown CDO.
With Alas Pilipinas pool member Elijah Kim and former volleyball player Dylan Ytorralde—now an actor and a PBB Housemate—regaling the crowd with mascots Hataw and Koolog, the tour ended the way it started three weeks ago—with a bang.

The world championship starts next Friday (September 12) at the SM Mall of Asia Araneta with Alas Pilipinas and Tunishia clashing in a Pool A match at 6 p.m. followed by an electrifying opening ceremony featuring K-Pop group BOYNEXTDOOR and Karencitta.
