Rebisco, one of the leading names in the Philippines’ volleyball scene, made waves on Friday with the announcement of its newly-formed men’s volleyball team, the Criss Cross King Crunchers, and the appointment of veteran spiker Ysay Marasigan as team captain.

Marasigan, a seasoned player with a wealth of experience both in local and international competitions, will lead a formidable lineup that includes national team stalwarts Rex Intal and Kim Malabunga, among others. The team’s roster also boasts the talents of Marck Espejo, although he is expected to join the squad after completing his campaign with the Incheon Korean Air Jumbos in South Korea’s V-League.

Speaking at the team’s official launch in Ortigas, Marasigan expressed excitement about the opportunity to lead the Criss Cross King Crunchers and embark on their journey in the Spikers’ Turf. “We are very excited to play and to start our Spikers’ Turf journey next month as the Criss Cross King Crunchers,” Marasigan remarked. “This is really a very exciting lineup. Each of us has a unique set of skills that can really contribute to the success of the team.”

Acknowledging the challenges that lie ahead, Marasigan emphasized the team’s determination to succeed and earn the support of volleyball fans across the country. With the guidance of Thai coach Tai Bundit, renowned for his success with the Ateneo Lady Eagles, the Criss Cross King Crunchers are poised to make an impact in the upcoming Spikers’ Turf conference.

The team’s debut in the Spikers’ Turf promises to be a highly anticipated event, as volleyball enthusiasts eagerly await the opportunity to witness the exciting matchups and intense competition that lie ahead. With a talented roster and experienced leadership, the Criss Cross King Crunchers are ready to showcase their skills and compete at the highest level of men’s volleyball in the Philippines.
