00:00 The Kalahoks have been doing well in breakdancing in the Breaking National Ranking 2023.
00:06 Some of them will have the chance to be the laughingstock of the Philippines in 2024 Paris Olympics.
00:13 Claisel Pardilla is live.
00:16 Dominic, more than 30 Filipino talents have been dancing on the dance floor
00:24 at the Breaking National Ranking 2023 of the Philippine Dance Sport Federation.
00:30 From different countries in the Philippines, 32 Filipinos have joined the Breakdancing Busy Club
00:40 at the Breaking National Ranking 2023 in White Space, Manila.
00:46 The competition is far from finding the best dancer in the Breakdancing field.
00:53 That's why the foundation, originality, execution, dynamics and cipher should be on the spot
00:59 as criteria in the dance battle.
01:02 Each participant should be given 30 seconds to 1 minute to show their skills.
01:08 The performance should be all out because aside from the cash prize,
01:12 the winner and possibly the winner of the 2024 Paris Olympics will be counted in the Philippine Training Pool.
01:21 We are starting to develop the national training pool.
01:25 We have a national team that has gone to the Southeast Asian Games and the Youth Olympics in 2018.
01:33 Now, we are sending also the same team to the Asian Games next October.
01:40 But we would like to get more talents because we know there are so many out there who are talented breakers.
01:49 In August 2024, the first ever Breaking Competition will be held in Paris
01:54 where 16 B-Boys and 16 B-Girls will face off on the dance floor.
02:00 Some breakers are preparing hard for the dance competition
02:07 so they are excited and nervous at the same time.
02:11 The preparation is the same as consistency because I am currently part of the national team of Breaking.
02:18 So, our training should be consistent in health and everything.
02:24 We are happy because there are a lot of B-Boys in the Philippines.
02:29 We are thankful that there is a qualifier for Visayas and Mindanao.
02:34 We had an opportunity to join the province and enter the top 16.
02:43 Dominic, aside from preparing for the international games, the Philippine Dance Corps Federation
02:48 introduced Breakdancing as a development program for the youth.
02:53 It is something that is very grassroots.
02:57 So, it is part of our national youth development program.
03:01 So, it will help the youth focus on something else instead of drugs and other negative activities.
03:09 So, it's very hopeful.

03:33 He is present at the event with House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
03:40 Dominic, the competition is still ongoing.
03:45 We hope that he will announce the winner of the Breakdancing competition.
03:51 Dominic?
