00:00And as the Filipino athletes continue to fight in the Paris Olympics,
00:04we will talk to the Philippine Olympic Committee President,
00:07Abrahama Bambol-Tolentino.
00:10Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.
00:12This is Connie Sison.
00:15Good morning, Connie.
00:17Yes, sir.
00:19We will just hear from our athletes there.
00:22How are they? Are they in high spirits?
00:25Especially after we were able to score two points
00:28from our countryman, Carlos Yulo.
00:33Yes, they are still in high spirits.
00:38But we still have five more to go.
00:42We still have five more to go.
00:45Later tonight, we will be in Paris.
00:49Tomorrow, we will be in Paris again.
00:53Then the weightlifters, three of them.
00:57There are two more to go, sir.
01:00Yes.
01:01We still have seven more to go.
01:04But overall, what is our assessment of the performance of our athletes there?
01:12That's what I said before I left.
01:17We will deliver and we will surpass the Tokyo medal.
01:22We have already surpassed it.
01:24In sports history, we have already won two medals.
01:30And of course, we still have two more medals to go.
01:33Yes, sir.
01:34That's why we still have a long way to go.
01:38Yes, indeed.
01:39We would like to thank all of our athletes there
01:42who are fighting for medals or not.
01:46It is important that we see their perseverance.
01:49Speaking of which, we will hear from EJ Obiena,
01:53Ymir Marcial, and their results in their respective fights.
01:58How are they?
02:00They are okay.
02:02There are times when they are sad.
02:04There are times when they don't know what will happen.
02:08They are the same as the former Olympians.
02:12There are a lot of surprises and strategies.
02:18If there is a lack, if there is an injury that is waiting for them,
02:25they will enter the Olympics.
02:30They will enter the final.
02:32It is difficult to do that.
02:35It is a four-year preparation.
02:38In order to enter the Olympics,
02:41you need to join the SEA Games, the Asian Games,
02:44the World Championships, and the Asian Championships.
02:47If you enter the Olympics,
02:49you will qualify for the final.
02:53That is why it is difficult to see our athletes.
02:58Yes, sir.
02:59Following the success of Carlos Yulo in Paris
03:02and Heidrin Diaz in Tokyo,
03:04there are those who say that it is time to focus
03:08and give a higher fund.
03:10Other sporting events such as gymnastics and weightlifting,
03:13what can you say about that?
03:17We have been saying this for a long time
03:20to many athletes.
03:24This is what happened now.
03:26We, the Philippines, are one of the lowest-budgeted sports
03:31in the ASEAN countries.
03:34The opposite happened.
03:36We are the lowest.
03:37That is when we won the gold medal.
03:40Now, we are the only one who won the gold medal
03:43in the ASEAN countries.
03:44Yes, sir.
03:45Our neighbors are surprised.
03:48Our leaders are surprised that we are here in Paris.
03:54Yes, sir.
03:55We can just imagine if we can give a bigger fund
03:59and support.
04:00Especially, we will have more athletes
04:03who will be successful and will be able to bring home
04:06our medals in the country.
04:09With that, we would like to thank you, sir,
04:11for your time.
04:12Thank you very much.
04:14Thank you very much.
04:16Good morning to all of you.
04:18Good morning.
04:20That was Philippine Olympic Committee President
04:23Bambol Tolentino.
04:43Thank you very much.
