Summer will surely sizzle once more as NESTEA, the official drink of
summer, invites everyone to enjoy a more exciting season when it
launched NESTEA Beach 2008, summer’s biggest, grandest and hottest
event.
Presented during a recent press conference
hosted by MYX VJ Sanya Smith, NESTEA Beach 2008 will showcase more
competitive beach volley matches from the country’s best
collegiate beach volley teams, as well as lots of cool parties,
electrifying concerts, fashion shows and beach clean-up activities

adds that NESTEA will adopt one beach each year as part of its beach
clean-up efforts with Island Garden City of Samal being this

summer with NESTEA Beach 2008
Among the other highlights of NESTEA Beach 2008

Of course, top flight beach volley matches are a
staple to any NESTEA summer event. This year’s NESTEA Beach
Volley National Circuit will feature more competitive matches from
the country’s top beach volley collegiate teams, as 72 teams from
43 colleges and universities nationwide vie for big cash prizes and
the honor of being NESTEA Beach Volley champs. All teams that

prizes!
Tagum Beach Volley Drome at Rotary Park is the
inaugural venue for the elimination rounds as Mindanao teams wage
beach volley wars from March 4 to 6. Luzon teams take to the sand
court of Island Cove Hotel and Leisure Park from March 25 to 27

sunny Boracay.
Of course, the event’s not just going to be
purely beach volley! There’s going to be a mall tour that
will start on February 23 at Market! Market! Activity Center to be
followed in NCCC Mall Davao on March 1 and SM Bacolod on April 5.
NESTEA Beach 2008 will also showcase parties in Boracay’s hotspots
