00:00We feel that we're athletes, we're in court, we're eating.
00:06Did you miss training?
00:08A lot.
00:09Really?
00:10That was my first love.
00:11And volleyball gave me a lot in return.
00:14The way I loved her, she loved me back.
00:17If it wasn't for volleyball, I wouldn't be where I am now.
00:19So it opened a lot of doors for me.
00:21For you.
00:22That was also your way to enter the showbiz.
00:27But do you remember the very beginning?
00:30Your realization that you love volleyball.
00:33Do you remember, Pat?
00:34I do.
00:35What happened was, originally, I was a basketball varsity player.
00:38I started as a basketball player.
00:40And then, I was invited by the coach of our high school team to play volleyball.
00:45I said, game.
00:46So I could jump higher.
00:49Okay, so that was your intention.
00:51That was my intention from the very start.
00:53But in the end, I loved volleyball more.
00:56I liked it more.
00:57What's the difference between basketball and volleyball?
01:00There's a lot.
01:01In terms of experience?
01:02There's a lot.
01:03Not just technically.
01:04In general.
01:06In the Philippines, basketball is the number one sport.
01:09No one can beat basketball.
01:10So there came a time when I started to stereotype that a volleyball player is crazy.
01:16Did that affect you?
01:17No, of course not.
01:18Because you're sure.
01:19Yes.
01:20You've never been out, right?
01:21Never, ever.
01:22Yes, yes.
01:23Yes, yes.
01:24I'm just kidding.
01:26It's true.
01:28She's busy.
01:29When I was in college, I was the captain of the team.
01:31Okay.
01:32So I have teammates who are in the LGBT community.
01:35Okay.
01:36It came to a point where their gender was being attacked.
01:41And the sport itself.
01:42They combined it.
01:43When you're a volleyball player, you're automatically gay.
01:45I mean, there's nothing wrong with being gay.
01:48No matter what your gender preference is.
01:50Of course.
01:51But when it comes to them, they look down on my teammates.
01:55Why?
01:56I don't know.
01:57I feel like it's an insecurity.
01:58Yes.
01:59I feel like it's an insecurity for people who are gay.
02:01Guys, it's 2025.
02:02Let's wake up.
02:03Let's not be gender-based in what we do.
02:22It's true.

02:35It's true.
02:36It's true.
02:37It's true.
02:38It's true.
