01:01I feel a lot of pressure because I really want to pave the way for more Muay Thai fighters here in the Philippines.

01:10However, the 23-year-old Baguio City native is confident her hard work will pay off in a huge way.

01:17I really do my best to train really hard to boost my confidence, to neutralize the pressure, to neutralize the nerves.

01:26Because I know that I trained hard, I worked hard, I did everything to the best I can. There's no reason for me to feel super, super, super pressured.

01:40Bumogau is considered as one of the fastest-rising combat sports stars in the country, having already won two gold medals in the Southeast Asian Games.

01:49She also holds the distinction as the top-ranked Muay Thai amateur in the world in the women's 45-kilogram division.

01:56Now she's out to prove that she can fly the flag for the country on the biggest stage for Muay Thai.
