00:00I think with regards to this administration, we want to feature as much sports as possible.
00:09We know that in the Philippines, basketball and volleyball is very popular.
00:14You have 3x3 basketball for this edition.
00:17But your question about kurash and some of the other sports, you know, breaking,
00:23some of these sports have been already in Batang Pinoy.
00:26So what we're doing is we're strengthening the sports based on, let's say,
00:32also the facilities available, what PSE and LG can execute.
00:39We also have very supportive PSEs who also want to showcase their respective sports.
00:46It's not all, if we do have one new sport for this one, it's soft tennis.
00:55And Jiu-Jitsu.
00:59So in Jiu-Jitsu, we do have a number of 150 athletes.
01:05For a first-time sport, that's a good number.
01:09And hopefully, Jiu-Jitsu can make strides in future Batang Pinoy editions.
01:14And to add as well, we have 80 sports now.
01:20So how else can we help the NSA have a bigger pool of athletes?
01:24It can be only through the draft program.
01:26So what we're doing is we're preparing slowly every year.
