Transcript

00:00And now, we're joined by Mr. Longbom, a live content creator and player

00:05for the top tier LIPA Batangas Stallions in the Philippines Super League.

00:09Good afternoon!

00:10Good afternoon to you, finally!

00:13We're now joined by the very popular and controversial Mr. Longbom.

00:18But first of all, just like what I asked HamTime,

00:21what's the story behind your nickname, Mr. Longbom?

00:26Actually, Mr. Longbom, I'm a member of the commercial league here in Pasay, which is the BUPH.

00:34And the announcer there, whenever I shoot, he always calls out,

00:39Longbom! Longbom! Like that.

00:41And that's where it all started.

00:44Because I shot really far, I passed four points.

00:47Sometimes, I even shot half-court.

00:50I saw that in the game against Caloocan.

00:53When I passed to you, I saw that you shot really far. You even passed the four-point line.

00:57Yes. Actually, that's how I shoot.

00:59That's really how I shoot in normal games.

01:03But it's faster because the opponents are really fast.

01:08So, at least, they can't catch up to me. It's just a quick release.

01:12They say that Mr. Longbom is an orthodox basketball player.

01:17And you're also known as the Steph Curry of the Philippines because of your high-volume, long-range shots.

01:23Tell us, how did you practice your long-range shots?

01:27How did you develop your skills?

01:29Actually, during the pandemic, I didn't have a basketball.

01:35I stopped playing for a long time.

01:37I grew really fast. I really overweighted.

01:43Then, after the pandemic, when it reopened in 2021,

01:48I started self-training.

01:52I told myself that the opponents are really big.

01:55I can't handle that.

01:56I told myself that I need to find a way to be unique to the other players.

02:03I told myself that I won't be as good as the audience if I just do the normal three-point shot.

02:12So, I made my own way of shooting, which is beyond three points, which is a four-point line.

02:21That's where I started.

02:23I told myself that the four-point shot in PBA hasn't started yet.

02:26I'm the one who starts it. I'm the one who makes it.

02:29But you mentioned that you started practicing during the pandemic.

02:33So, it was really fast for you to hone your skills in the very long range.

02:37Yes, that's right.

02:39To be honest, my three-point shot before the pandemic wasn't that sure-bolted.

02:49My normal attempts were less than five attempts per game.

02:54I focused more on the inside.

02:57My opponents are not that tall and big.

03:01So, I told myself that I need to shoot the ball more accurately.

03:09I'm more used to using the inside of the court, which is what I do in the long range.

03:16Is your long-range shooting instinct?

03:19During the game, how do you tell yourself that you have to take the shot?

03:24Because you have to have a high basketball IQ in order to time your release.

03:31For you, is it instinct or you just feel it?

03:36It's instinct.

03:38I always tell my teammates and the players I play with that

03:44my effective shooting is based on the passing of the ball.

03:52The right timing for the pass and the hand-off.

03:55If your pass is bad, it doesn't coordinate.

04:00That's why it doesn't shoot.

04:02Now, let's talk about how you became a content creator.

04:07There are a lot of people who make memes and videos of me.

04:15They are also vloggers.

04:19One of my teammates advised me that I should create a Facebook page

04:30so that I can earn money from it.

04:33So that my fans will know where I'm going.

04:40That's what I thought.

04:43But actually, I haven't been a content creator for a year.

04:47Wow.

04:48But your fan base is huge.

04:51No, Mr. Longbao.

04:53It's very huge.

04:54Actually, my page, Mr. Longbao, has a lot of posters.

04:59But the 101K followers is legit.

05:06That's legit.

05:08But you know, Filipinos are the most difficult fans.

05:14There are a lot of bashers and negatives.

05:16There are also positives.

05:17But how do you handle it?

05:19Every time someone comments...

05:22Or someone criticizes you.

05:24Actually, what I do there, to be honest,

05:27I can't answer all of my bashers.

05:30But I block those who talk a lot.

05:35I mean, I block them on my page.

05:38So that at least...

05:40But other accounts are still making memes.

05:43But you know what?

05:45They say that the barometer that you're famous is when you have a basher.

05:51Because if you don't have a basher, you're not famous yet.

05:53You're not famous yet.

05:55But whenever you make a content or you post on your page,

06:00a lot of followers or non-followers see it as very negative.

06:06Like what you said earlier,

06:08that there's no 4-point line.

06:10You're the one doing it.

06:12But how do you defend it?

06:15Or how do you respond to that kind of comment?

06:18Actually, they don't know that.

06:21But those who are with me in practice,

06:23those who started with our team,

06:26because we were forming teams with outside professionals,

06:32back then, which is a commercial league.

06:34They know me better.

06:35So they can prove it.

06:38From a content creator and mostly about basketball,

06:42how did you get into the professional league?

06:44Especially here in the Philippines.

06:46Actually, I first heard about it from Jonah.

06:53Actually, we were supposed to be together in Biniyan.

06:56Okay.

06:57I was invited by Boss Monchi,

07:00Manager Jojo Cunanan.

07:05So I told him to watch us in Batangas.

07:10We were invited by two people.

07:12I don't know what happened.

07:14They only invited one content creator.

07:18I wasn't able to go back.

07:20Okay.

07:21After that, I was contacted by LIPA.

07:24I didn't expect that PSL would be coming soon.

07:29That's when I was contacted.

07:31They told me that they needed a shooter.

07:34I said, okay.

07:35How can I help?

07:37But I told them,

07:39if ever Jonah and I will face each other,

07:43of course, basketball is basketball.

07:47Partner, since he mentioned about Jonah, Renz, Jacob,

07:52he said that he doesn't get paid in Biniyan.

07:58Do you get paid in the stadiums?

08:00Is it the same?

08:01For me, I don't really care about the fee.

08:04Until now, I didn't get paid.

08:06So I said, for me,

08:09exposure and playing time is what I'm looking for.

08:13Your passion for playing.

08:15So they don't get the talent fee or professional fee for basketball players.

08:20How many players are allowed to play?

08:23Sheer passion for the sport.

08:25I told our coaches,

08:28I told them,

08:30if ever,

08:31of course,

08:32if you'll give me a few minutes,

08:36because you know,

08:37the first few games,

08:38a few minutes,

08:40don't do it.

08:41Because my Mr. Longbam image will be ruined.

08:44I said, if you need me,

08:46talk to me.

08:47Which I know,

08:48I adjusted to the next game.

08:50Which I said,

08:51I had a minute, 9 minutes.

08:54So there.

08:55We already talked about your minute.

08:57Let's talk about your points.

08:59That's when you played.

09:01In the debut game.

09:02Yes.

09:03In December.

09:04How was it like?

09:05Of course, every time they finish the game,

09:07there are players who don't put anything in their stats.

09:11But that time you scored,

09:13did it make a difference?

09:15Yes, of course.

09:16As I told you,

09:17I really needed a minute.

09:19Because I'm like a diesel.

09:23I'm like a diesel that needs to warm up before shooting.

09:27Because that's how it is.

09:29That's what they say,

09:30to last longer.

09:32Yes, to last longer.

09:33But most of the rosters in PSL are a bit heavy.

09:37How do you tell the coaches or the management,

09:42that I need more time,

09:43so that I can see or play my game.

09:45So that it can keep up with the other players.

09:48Yes, actually,

09:49I always tell them,

09:51before warm-up,

09:52that I'm in a good condition.

09:53That I'm feeling good.

09:56Because honestly,

09:57if you're on the bench for a long time,

09:59you'll really get cold.

10:01I mean,

10:02your warm-up will be gone.

10:04Then you'll have garbage time.

10:06It doesn't make sense.

10:08So I tell them,

10:10give me a better minute.

10:12So that I can really show what I can do commercially.

10:17What was your experience or emotion

10:20in your first game as a professional player?

10:23Actually, I was nervous.

10:25I was nervous.

10:26I didn't think that

10:28Liu would treat me like that.

10:31I was really nervous.

10:33There were a lot of highlights.

10:35How did you adjust during that game?

10:38How did the team treat you?

10:40It was a very physical game.

10:42To be honest,

10:43I'm not used to that.

10:45Even in the commercial leagues,

10:47they don't allow that.

10:52I mean,

10:53if you do that,

10:54it's an automatic foul.

10:56So I really knew that

10:58they would call me.

10:59But what surprised me in the PSL,

11:00in the Pro League,

11:01it was different.

11:02It was more...

11:04It was more...

11:05It was more...

11:06It was more...

11:07It was more...

11:08It was more...

11:09It was more...

11:10But were you distracted during that time?

11:12Because of course,

11:13every time they called you,

11:15it's so unexpected.

11:17Yes.

11:18Of course,

11:19I was just a rookie.

11:20And then, of course,

11:21I was surprised

11:23that they allowed that.

11:25And of course,

11:27I lost my strength.

11:31Was there ever a factor of intimidation

11:33in your part?

11:34Of course,

11:35it's a mixture of

11:36very veteran basketball athletes

11:40and then

11:41a lot of social media basketball players.

11:44Was there ever a factor of intimidation

11:46in your part

11:47that you could beat

11:48these high-level basketball athletes?

11:51Actually, in the beginning,

11:52I was a bit nervous.

11:54But of course,

11:55when I was given

11:57a few minutes there,

11:59I lost my nerves.

12:01But as I said,

12:03of course,

12:04those beatings were new to me.

12:07Let's talk about

12:09your very controversial

12:12encounter

12:13with PSL Commissioner Jerry Esplana.

12:17Can you share?

12:18Tell us

12:19what happened there.

12:21You were challenged

12:22to a one-on-one.

12:24And you were described as

12:26unsportsmanlike

12:27and disrespectful.

12:29Of course,

12:30we want to hear

12:31the side of your story.

12:33Yes, of course,

12:34I greet Commissioner Jerry Esplana

12:37now,

12:38if he's watching.

12:40And of course,

12:42I know that

12:43what happened

12:45was not good,

12:47the one-on-one challenge.

12:50But

12:52I wasn't the one

12:54who spoke.

12:56It was my team,

12:57my social media team

12:59who spoke.

13:00But

13:01Commissioner Jerry Esplana knows

13:03that we're talking.

13:04We're okay.

13:05But of course,

13:06in the eyes of the people,

13:09of course,

13:10he's still Mr. Longbong.

13:11They can see that.

13:12But the people know that.

13:14They really know that.

13:16But

13:17I also ask for

13:18an apology for what I said.

13:21It's not like...

13:23Because it started with...

13:26Kume also said something.

13:29But

13:30then

13:31he said...

13:32He just rebutted

13:34in a...

13:37in a sarcastic way

13:40so that his skillset would be known.

13:42I think it started,

13:43if I'm not mistaken,

13:44with the content creators

13:46who were given the opportunity

13:48to play in the pro leagues.

13:50Right?

13:51That's how it started.

13:54That's how it started.

13:55And then,

13:56your answer came out.

13:57Then,

13:58I saw that he had a response

14:00that he was suspending you.

14:01So,

14:02I think

14:03that became a challenge

14:05in that situation.

14:06Maybe what I wanted to know,

14:08what are the lessons

14:09that you learned here?

14:11Especially,

14:12as a content creator,

14:13you entered a world

14:15of the professional basketball league.

14:17Of course,

14:18there is somehow

14:19a boundary

14:20in terms of

14:21whatever you release

14:22on social media.

14:23So,

14:24what's your takeaway

14:25with the incident?

14:26I learned a lot here.

14:28I also said this

14:29to my social media team.

14:32I said,

14:34if what we do

14:35on social media

14:37is okay,

14:39now,

14:40we're professionals.

14:41We can't do that anymore.

14:43We need to adjust.

14:44Because,

14:45we're professionals.

14:46We're professional players.

14:48Normally,

14:49how can you say

14:51that your one post

14:53should be serious

14:55or you should say

14:56that it's not that low?

14:58Especially,

14:59you're a content creator

15:00and a professional basketball player.

15:02So,

15:03everything you post

15:04on social media,

15:05people will read it

15:06and they have

15:07different takes on it.

15:08So,

15:09when is it serious

15:10and when is it not?

15:11Or,

15:12what should they do?

15:13Is there a fine line?

15:14Yes.

15:15How do you separate

15:16your identity

15:17as a content creator

15:18and as a professional

15:19basketball player?

15:20For me,

15:21for me,

15:22it's like this.

15:23Be serious

15:24with everything

15:25I say.

15:26Okay.

15:27We don't have

15:28a fine line here.

15:29Be serious

15:30with everything

15:31because

15:32everything I post,

15:33that's it.

15:34That's it.

15:35I feel like

15:36when people get to know you,

15:37they won't look at you

15:38with pride

15:39because that's how it is.

15:40That's how it is.

15:41Especially,

15:42with basshers.

15:43But,

15:44let's go back

15:45to the basher topic.

15:46What's the most painful

15:47or the most

15:48serious comment

15:49or feedback

15:50that you get

15:51as a basketball player

15:53and as a content creator?

15:55Maybe,

15:56what they're saying

15:57is that

15:58PWD,

16:00Mongoloid,

16:01that kind of thing.

16:03Like,

16:04it's like

16:05it's like

16:06it's like

16:07whatever they're saying.

16:09But,

16:10for me,

16:11I don't get affected

16:12that much.

16:13I mean,

16:14I try to ignore that

16:15as much as possible.

16:16But,

16:17like I said,

16:18I did this

16:19to make a viewers.

16:21Like I said,

16:22actually,

16:23Mr. Longbam,

16:24really,

16:25this is all

16:26just for hype

16:27for me.

16:28Because,

16:29my pride,

16:30I'm not really proud

16:31of my real life.

16:32I mean,

16:33I'm always Mr. Longbam.

16:34If you talk to

16:35Mr. Harmsuy,

16:36I'm Mr. Harmsuy.

16:37So,

16:38if you talk to

16:39Mr. Harmsuy,

16:40or if you want

16:41Mr. Longbam,

16:42just choose him.

16:43But,

16:44there's really

16:45no pride

16:46in Mr. Longbam.

16:47There.

16:48With an air of arrogance.

16:49I always,

16:50I always tell people

16:51that

16:52the people I meet

16:53outside,

16:54they say,

16:55Oh,

16:56Mr. Longbam is kind.

16:57Oh,

16:58he's not like that.

16:59I always like that.

17:00Like,

17:01I can say,

17:02I'm not the same

17:03as Rendon before.

17:04Because,

17:05before,

17:06Rendon,

17:07he was pushed

17:08by a lot of bashers

17:09and stuff.

17:10But,

17:11he's arrogant.

17:12But,

17:13when I meet him in person,

17:14he's okay.

17:15He's kind.

17:16He's not like that.

17:17Of course,

17:18the effect of social media

17:19is a big thing.

17:20Right?

17:21Especially,

17:22what people want to see.

17:23That's it.

17:24But,

17:25they can't see you.

17:26I mean,

17:27out of social media.

17:28They say,

17:29no partner,

17:30not all that you see

17:31is a reflection

17:32of anybody.

17:33Because,

17:34you can just post

17:35anybody

17:36that you want

17:37to appear

17:38to be like this,

17:39like that.

17:40But,

17:41it doesn't mean

17:42it's true.

17:43True.

17:44Now,

17:45there's a rumor

17:46that you want

17:47to stop

17:48pro-league.

17:49How true is this?

17:50Actually,

17:51I don't really

17:52want to stop.

17:53But,

17:54if ever,

17:55the minutes

17:56will not

17:57go up

17:58for me.

17:59I will

18:00certainly

18:01not play anymore

18:02in the pro-league.

18:03Because,

18:04I said,

18:05it's a waste.

18:06Mr. Longbam

18:07is known for

18:08high-volume minutes,

18:09high-volume shots.

18:10So,

18:11at least,

18:12I can show

18:13my talent.

18:14Why did you hire me

18:15if you'll just

18:16bench me?

18:17Right?

18:18That's not it.

18:19You told me,

18:20you get me

18:21because of

18:22my shooting skills.

18:23So,

18:24how can I show you

18:25that I don't have minutes?

18:26Right?

18:27That's all.

18:28As a content creator

18:29slash influencer,

18:30do you think

18:31you're able to

18:32connect more

18:33with the fans?

18:34Of course.

18:35Compared to other

18:36basketball players?

18:37And,

18:38what's the advantage

18:39for you?

18:40For me,

18:41I became

18:42closer

18:43to the fans

18:44now.

18:45Since,

18:46I became

18:47a pro,

18:48there are more people

18:49who have

18:50the chance

18:51to

18:52really

18:53showcase

18:54their love

18:55for sports.

18:56Then,

18:57boom,

18:58they really

18:59go to the venue

19:00to watch me.

19:01And,

19:02this is the

19:03reason why

19:04I am

19:05talking to

19:06the management

19:07regarding

19:08the minutes

19:09that I really

19:10wanted to.

19:11I know

19:12Coach Punks,

19:13Mark Pangilinan,

19:14also talked

19:15regarding that

19:16the minutes

19:17are earned,

19:18not given.

19:19Okay, yes.

19:20But,

19:21as I said,

19:22you got me

19:23because

19:24of

19:25my talent.

19:26So,

19:27you got me

19:28as a

19:29social media

19:30influencer

19:31slash

19:32basketball player.

19:33And,

19:34of course,

19:35it's a dual purpose.

19:36To promote

19:37and,

19:38of course,

19:39to hype the team.

19:40If you won't

19:41let me in,

19:42it doesn't matter

19:43that you got me

19:44there.

19:45I mean,

19:46the people

19:47around the

19:48arena

19:49is looking for me.

19:50They want me

19:51to play.

19:52But,

19:53you don't want me.

19:54So,

19:55I'm not just

19:56demanding any minutes

19:57or more

19:58and more minutes.

19:59But,

20:00I'm just saying

20:01that

20:02these minutes

20:03are very important

20:04for me.

20:05And,

20:06of course,

20:07I don't want

20:08to degrade

20:09or make

20:10my fans

20:11look down

20:12on me

20:13regarding

20:14Mr. Longbam

20:15because

20:16they're expecting

20:17a lot from me.

20:18And,

20:19I wanted to give

20:20the best

20:21out of me.

20:22I want to show

20:23everything

20:24I do

20:25like my shots,

20:26my long-range bombs,

20:27my reverses.

20:28But,

20:29I know that

20:30defense is tight.

20:31But,

20:32I'll do my best

20:33to do

20:34what I can do.

20:35Basically,

20:36Mr. Longbam

20:37wants his playing time

20:38to be shorter

20:39inside the court.

20:40He said earlier

20:41that he needs

20:42time to warm up.

20:43Now,

20:44this coming

20:45Wednesday,

20:46you'll face

20:47your friend,

20:48Jonah.

20:49Just tell us

20:50if you're

20:51full-force

20:52in your fight.

20:53Yes.

20:54What would you like

20:55to say

20:56to your fans

20:57and Jonah's fans

20:58in this game?

20:59I think

21:00they came from

21:01a two-game

21:02losing streak.

21:03They lost

21:04yesterday

21:05against

21:06Pangasinan.

21:07Yes.

21:08So,

21:09he hasn't played

21:10in two games.

21:11I think.

21:12Oh, okay.

21:13So,

21:14there's no news

21:15from him.

21:16But,

21:17as you can see,

21:18now,

21:19Wednesday,

21:20we're going

21:21to fight.

21:22So,

21:23for the

21:24game,

21:25for the love

21:26of the game.

21:27I mean,

21:28Binan is strong.

21:29We fought

21:30against him

21:31in the tune-up.

21:32Yes.

21:33So,

21:34but,

21:35hopefully,

21:36the fight will be

21:37good.

21:38If ever,

21:39win or lose,

21:40it's not a problem.

21:41As long as

21:50Yes.

21:51True.

21:52So,

21:53what are your

21:54goals with

21:55PSL?

21:56It's a pro league.

21:57What are your goals

21:58or milestones

21:59that you want

22:00to achieve

22:01with PSL?

22:02I just want to

22:03show

22:04what I can do

22:05regarding

22:06my long range

22:07pump,

22:08my reverse.

22:09At the same time,

22:10of course,

22:11I want to improve

22:12my defense.

22:13I want to be

22:14able to

22:15play with

22:16the pro players.

22:20that I want

22:21to achieve
