Abreeza Kadayawan Volleyball Tournament coordinator Abet Bernan, on his Facebook post, said the awarding ceremony of the event will be reset to a later date. It was earlier set for today.

Meanwhile, the Kapatirang Dobe Oloso Escrima-Davao City chief Mario Palazuelobared to VoxPop Davao that almost half of the confirmed participants of the 31st Kadayawan Arnis Tournament backed out as the city is on red alert status due to the barbaric act that claimed the lives of 14 persons and wounded 67 as of Saturday, September 3.

"Almost 40 participants talaga ang di dumalo kasi di pinayagan ng parents pero di ko na kasi ma cancel kasi nakabayad na sa NCCC Mall," Palazuelo said. (ABM)
