00:00Today, we will be joining the Philippines for the 2024 ICF Dragon World Boat World Championships
00:08which will take the country to one of the biggest international dragon boat racing competitions.
00:14We will be joined live here in the studio by the world champions.
00:20The team captain of the Men's Team Philippine Canoe, Kayak and Dragon Boat Federation, OJ Fuentes.
00:27Also, the paddler of the Philippine Canoe, Kayak and Dragon Boat Federation, Edmund Katapong, Nelson Cordova, and Rogelio De Borja.
00:36Good morning and welcome to the ICF Dragon World Championships.
00:40How are you preparing for the upcoming competition, the 2024 ICF Dragon Boat World Championships?
00:47As of now, we are prepared already.
00:50Oh, you're already prepared.
00:51We are already prepared for the upcoming competition.
00:57So, we are just waiting for the day when we will be able to play.
01:02That's how it is.
01:03Those who are already ready to win.
01:06They are 100% ready.
01:08You said that you are ready.
01:09Let's talk about your preparation.
01:12So, how many months of preparation do you need before you can compete in a world championship?
01:17It depends on the people who will join us.
01:20There are a lot of struggles before joining us.
01:25Some of our teammates are in the military, so we haven't been able to join them yet.
01:30We are still separated.
01:32Three months ago, we were able to join them.
01:36I'm not mistaken.
01:38Just three months ago?
01:40Yes, but we haven't been able to join them yet.
01:43They have their own training.
01:46We give them our pouches and programs so that they won't be left behind in our training.
01:54Where do you usually train?
01:56Right now, we are based in Taytay, Rizal.
01:59That's where we train.
02:02So, you're the team captain.
02:04Yes, ma'am.
02:05What about the other members here?
02:07How are you guys preparing?
02:09What is the mindset going through the competition?
02:12Sir?
02:15We are preparing to focus and rest well.
02:22It's really a fight.
02:26It's just a fight.
02:28You mentioned earlier that you have your teammates in the military.
02:31What are your professions and what do you do for your training?
02:37Aside from what you normally do.
02:39Day job.
02:41We are athlete soldiers.
02:43We are trained there.
02:45There are two of us.
02:47I'm in the Air Force.
02:49Oh, that's working.
02:51I'm in the Air Force and she's in the Army.
02:53Oh, okay.
02:55We were trained by the Armed Forces Special Service.
02:58So, after that, we are going to the PCKF for training.
03:10Sir Rogelio, do you have a diet that you follow?
03:14Is there anything that you are not allowed to eat?
03:16Or can you only eat during training?
03:18Everything?
03:20Yes, everything.
03:22We really need to eat so that we can have a strong body.
03:29Because it's evident.
03:31We can see their physique.
03:33Yes, and he's in the Army and the Air Force.
03:37But I wonder, how many competitions do you have?
03:41Because you already have a title as a world champion.
03:43For me, I've been competing since I was 15 years old.
03:47So, I'm 26 years old.
03:49So, almost every year, there's a competition.
03:51And this is my third world championship in the Dragon Boat in Sanian.
03:57So, my teammates are also like that.
04:01Okay, so you've been together for a long time.
04:03Yes.
04:05Dragon Boat Racing is not that familiar, right?
04:07For events like this, especially here in the Philippines,
04:11how much does it help for our countrymen to recognize this sport?
04:17Go ahead.
04:19Microphone.
04:23They're shy.
04:25They're shy.
04:27For this kind of world championships that are held here in our country,
04:33how much does it help for our countrymen to recognize this sport,
04:37which is canoe and kayak?
04:43Go ahead, coach.
04:45Because you've been to many world championships.
04:49Actually, this world championship that will be held in the Philippines,
04:53this is the first time in the Philippines,
04:57and of course, the host country of the Philippines.
05:01This is also the first time in the whole Asia.
05:03So, this is a big event.
05:05And of course, this helps our environment,
05:09so that the cleanliness is good,
05:11and everyone is united.
05:13Especially, our sport is a team.
05:17So, there.
05:19And tourism.
05:21Yes.
05:23In fact, how many countries will join this competition?
05:2720 plus countries, including European, Russian, and Australian,
05:35will go to the Philippines.
05:39I have a question, Diana.
05:41What is the team-to-beat country?
05:43The one that you're having a hard time?
05:45The Philippines.
05:47Yes.
05:49Of course, this is a big event,
05:51so all the countries are preparing.
05:53We are also under a lot of pressure.
05:57Especially, we are the host country.
05:59The Philippines is the host country.
06:01So, it's a tough battle.
06:03This is a big challenge for us.
06:05So, we need to prove it.
06:07Because in other countries, we are the world champions.
06:09Especially here.
06:11So, we need to prove that we are the strongest.
06:15Team-to-beat.
06:17But who is the defending champion in this competition?
06:19It depends on the categories.
06:21There are so many categories and events.
06:23So, when and where will this be held?
06:25How can we support you?
06:27This will be held in Puerto Princesa, Palawan.
06:31From October 28 to November 4.
06:35November 4.
06:37Good luck to you.
06:39Good luck.
06:41We will support you.
06:43We will be the world champions.
06:45All the best and good luck.
06:47Good luck in the upcoming competition.
06:51We hope that you will win gold in that competition.
06:53Thank you very much for your time.
