00:1532-year-old Davaweña fighter Nesty Petetio
00:17is not yet content with the list of medals
00:20that he has won in almost 16 years of his boxing career.
00:24If we add up the two bronze and one silver medals
00:28that Petetio has won in the past Asian Boxing Championships,
00:32he has won 2 gold, 1 bronze and 3 silver medals
00:35in the Southeast Asian Games since 2011.

00:51Despite all of these,
00:53Petetio has divided the competition in PTD Sports
00:56that is not on his list.
00:59Asian Games.
01:00I don't have a medal yet,
01:02even if it's bronze.
01:04I'm just fighting for bronze quarterfinals.
01:07That's one of my targets.
01:10That's the only medal that I don't have
01:12in the Asian Games major competition.
01:14That's the only one that I didn't get a medal.
01:16In 2026, the Asian Games will be held in Nagoya, Japan
01:19and in Kalingpalari, there will be a medal here.
01:22It will be a good momentum for Petetio
01:25to reach his goal of winning the bronze medal
01:27in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
01:30LA is still a long way to go.
01:32Of course, we know that he's not sure
01:35if there will be boxing in the Olympics.
01:39I always pray that there will be more.
01:42Because we're still ready.
01:44I'm still ready to fight for the Philippines.
01:47I'm still ready to play for the Philippines.
01:49For now, one step at a time is the mindset of the Philippines
01:52where this month of October,
01:54he will be returning to Nsayo
