00:42if the gym he said would be successful,
00:44it will give opportunities to all aspiring athletes in their area,

00:51as a way to get out of poverty.
00:54The gym I'm dreaming of building will be successful.
00:58For the first time, if I will be given a sponsor or someone to help me,
01:04I will be very happy if it will happen in Davao, Del Sur, in my area.

01:14where the gym he said will help a lot
01:17for the students taught by his father.

01:30That's what I want so that I can start sharing my knowledge to the youth there
01:37because my father already started so he already has about 20 or more athletes.
