00:00 The judges are now voting for the first breaking national ranking of 2023.
00:07 Who will be the first to break dance?
00:11 Here's Claes Alpardilla.
00:14 From different places in the Philippines,
00:19 more than 30 Filipino talents performed last night.
00:23 They danced and broke their dance floor.
00:27 That's why the breaking national ranking of 2023
00:31 of the Philippine Dance Sport Federation in Makati City is the first.
00:35 The dance competition is far away to find the best in the field of break dancing.
00:42 On spot should be the foundation, originality, execution, dynamics, and cipher
00:48 as criteria in the dance battle.
00:51 The game is held by B-boys and B-girls.
00:57 The dance challenge is head-to-head.
01:00 Each one has 30 seconds to show their all-out performance.
01:09 The winner will receive not only a medal and cash prize,
01:14 but also a chance to join the Philippine Training Pool and participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
01:22 We are starting to develop the national training pool.
01:26 We already have a national team that has gone to the Southeast Asian Games
01:30 and the Youth Olympics in 2018.
01:35 Now, we are sending also the same team to the Asian Games next October.
01:42 In August 2024, the first ever breaking competition will be held in Paris
01:47 where 16 B-boys and 16 B-girls will face off on the dance floor.
01:55 That's why some breakers are preparing hard to step on the world stage.
02:02 My preparation is the same, consistency.
02:05 Currently, I'm part of the national team of breaking.
02:08 So, our training is to be consistent in health and everything.
02:15 Some breakers are feeling nervous and happy.
02:20 Of course, we are nervous because it's a competition.
02:25 At the same time, we are happy because there are a lot of B-boys in the Philippines.
02:31 It's painful that there's a qualifier for Visayas and Mindanao.
02:36 There's an opportunity in the province to join and enter the top 6.
02:43 In the end, the powerful moves and the dance floor
02:48 won over Dudut in the men's division.
02:51 B-girls won the whole crowd and unique style on Yanni's stage.
02:58 According to the Philippine Dance Corps Federation,
03:01 this breakdancing competition is not only a preparation for the international dance competition.
03:08 It is something that is very grassroots.
03:11 So, it is part of our national youth development program.
03:15 So, it will help the youth focus on something else
03:19 instead of drugs and other negative activities.
03:24 So, it's very hopeful.
03:26 Breaking National Ranking 2023 is supported by President Jordin and R. Marcos Jr.
03:32 and organized by the Philippine Sports Commission,
03:35 Philippine Olympic Committee, Presidential Communications, RDDM
03:40 and Representative Gueda Marie Romualdez of the King of Cordillas
03:44 along with House Speaker Romualdez who is present at the event.
03:49 Good things in Cordillas for the people!
