00:00We met again in a courtesy visit to People's Television Network General Manager Antonio Baltazar Tobinabrida Jr.
00:07and now the D1 Hardball Anchor Bill Velasco.
00:11This is after the Master of the Game program ended after the 2024 Content Asia Awards were held in Taipei, Taiwan.
00:20Here's Rafael Bandayrel.
00:23Wow!
00:27It was a warm welcome to the veteran sports journalist Bill Velasco
00:32for his visit to People's Television Network this Wednesday morning.
00:36This is after Velasco received the Bronze Award from the 2024 Content Asia Awards held in Taipei, Taiwan last week.
00:45The award-giving body named the PTV Sports Original Show Masters of the Game in the Best Sports Magazine category.
00:54Congratulations to Bill for winning the award.
00:59I understand it was against some very tough competition.
01:02Nonetheless, the program did well.
01:05It's also an indication of the kind of work that a dedicated team of television professionals can put together.
01:16It tells us that we can compete with the very best in Asia. So, congratulations.
01:22When asked by Velasco, what can PTV viewers expect if Season 2 of the Masters of the Game will air?
01:31We will make it even better.
01:33And of course, we are fighting for our access to Filipino athletes wherever they go in the world.
01:40It's a big thing for our countrymen to remember those who made them happy that day,
01:48those who were their inspiration, who are no longer in the spotlight.
01:52In the first season of the Masters of the Game,
01:55it will remember the colorful life story and legacy of Filipino sports,
02:01like boxing world champion Luisito Espinosa,
02:04basketball icon Danny Ildefonso,
02:07and decorated national team swimmer Akiko Thompson.
