The Press Corps Awards is an assembly of respected digital and print media personalities that covers the games and progress of each team and player. It is an award body that recognized the top-level women's volleyball league and its men's counterpart, Spiker's Turf.
During the culmination, Ricky Palou, president of the PVL, highlighted during the event, "We shine the spotlight on those who stood tallest, leapt highest and dug deepest. In truth, each of you — every player, coach, staff member and team — emerged victorious."
Moreover, ArenaPlus, as a major sponsor, was recognized by the PVL Press Corps with a special citation award for its support not only on this special occasion but also through the partnership they shared in recent years.

Before ArenaPlus became the country's most trusted name in sports betting, it began as a concept on a piece of paper. A concept that, despite the risks, believed in its journey. PVL, in relation, also started as a dream to create a platform where talented athletes can showcase their wits and skills.
In a statement made by Lance Agcaoili, president of PVL Press Corps, he remembered how PVL took the first step in an empty arena in Bacarra, Ilocos Norte, stating: "Tonight wasn't just about a night to celebrate greatness; it was about honoring the journey. From an empty arena in Bacarra, Ilocos Norte, when PVL debuted as a professional league under a bubble format amid the Covid-19 pandemic, to reaching greater heights with record-breaking gate attendance and intense, dramatic and heart-stopping games. We celebrate it all."
