BENSON Boboc will call the shots for returning F2 Logistics in the 2022 Premier Volleyball League (PVL) Reinforced Conference set to kick off on October 8.
The multi-titled team in the Philippine SuperLiga will miss its seasoned mentor Ramil De Jesus for the second straight tournament.
No reason has been given for De Jesus' absence.

“Again he's not available so I will be stepping up,” said Bocboc who debuted as the Cargo Movers’ head coach in its entry to the PVL early this year.
F2 Logistics will open its campaign against Chery Tiggo on October 11, 2:30 p.m., at PhilSports Arena.
Except for the absence of De Jesus, the Cargo Movers will be in full force in its return led by import Lindsay Stalzer, returning Kalei Mau and healthier Kim Fajardo.
“[Lindsay and Kalei] are showing good cohesiveness inside the court pero more pa of course,” he said.
“Ngayon, okay naman na siya [Kim] and then tingin ko better siya compared sa last conference. Much better.”
With a new recruit in former NU Lady Bulldog middle blocker Ivy Lacsina, F2 Logistics is set to parade a full and tall frontline.
“Kung tutuusin kumpleto siya as an offense and defensive player which is good. Marami tayong middles sa ngayon, we have five but she's so far number one ngayon sa team in terms of function,” the head coach said.
After finishing sixth in the Open Conference early this year, Bocboc is confident the Cargo Movers are good enough to contend for a maiden PVL title.
“Team to beat for us, we're looking at Creamline. Nothing else. And we'll get that first place,” he said.
