00:00We are joined live by the Philippine Sambo Team, President Paolo Tangkotian and Coach Ace Larida.

00:06Coach, thank you very much.

00:08And Sir Paolo, thank you very much for the time you've given us.

00:12I know you're busy and it's early.

00:16It's very early.

00:17Yes, they're very busy.

00:18They just came back from the PSA Awards last night.

00:22So, thank you very much for the time you've given us.

00:26So, let's start.

00:27Actually, let's continue our conversation earlier, Sir Paolo.

00:30You already mentioned the grassroots program that you have.

00:33Tell us again, what is this program of yours?

00:38How do you try to expand the Sambo sport here in the Philippines?

00:44First of all, I would like to say good morning to all our viewers.

00:48And may God bless you all.

00:51Thank you for having us today.

00:54Our grassroots program is for our athletes from the province.

01:00Actually, we started in Davao last December.

01:05We train a lot of kids from public schools.

01:10And actually, we already have products from Davao City,

01:15which is now a national team.

01:18So, we give these kids an opportunity to study here in the big universities in Manila.

01:27Because I know that Sambo is like a hybrid martial arts.

01:31They can do judo, they can do wrestling.

01:35So, that's why we're giving these kids an opportunity

01:40to not only fulfill their dreams, but also to represent our country.

01:47Speaking of opportunity for the kids,

01:52Sir Paolo, you mentioned earlier the schools that also have Sambo as a sport.

02:00You've mentioned earlier, like UST, Lasal, and Benil.

02:05Is that correct? What are those schools?

02:07Yes, these are our chapter club members.

02:12So, we already have them in the big schools, like UST.

02:17UST has been supporting us since before 2019 CIMS.

02:23And now, there will be a new opening tonight,

02:28Lasal, DLSU University.

02:32They started training yesterday.

02:35So, it's one of our training venues for our national team.

02:40And one day, we'll be able to discover their quads.

02:43Actually, we already have one athlete from UST.

02:46Nice. Speaking of discovery, Coach,

02:49I'll ask you, how big is this for us as head coaches here in Sambo?

02:56How big is this kind of grassroots?

02:59For sure, we'll find something here.

03:01Yes, especially in Mindanao.

03:03In Combat Sambo, there are a lot of people there.

03:05Because in Mindanao, there are a lot of people who are good at punching.

03:09Here, in school, in Lasal, in UST,

03:13you'll be able to discover good athletes.

03:16Just a follow-up, Coach,

03:18Sambo is not a very popular sport here in the Philippines.

03:24How do you educate, especially the kids,

03:27who want to try this sport?

03:30We have a pre-clinic in Singalong.

03:33Those who want to go there, we teach them the basics.

03:39It's easy for them to choose between Sport Sambo and Combat.

03:42But for most of them, the basics are Sport Sambo.

03:48Very interesting.

03:49Earlier, Coach mentioned that there are a lot of good athletes

03:53who are good at punching in Mindanao.

03:55Not just in Sambo, but in other sports as well.

03:57I remember on Facebook, someone said,

03:59do it in Mindanao.

04:01The people of Mindanao are really strong.

04:04But it's true.

04:07Not just in Sambo, but in other sports as well.

04:09The people of Mindanao are really good.

04:13Sir Paulo, I have a question for you.

04:15What are our preparations for this year?

04:18What are we going to expect from our sports fans,

04:20especially our Sambo fans, our Sambo athletes?

04:23What are we going to expect from our local competitions this year?

04:30Actually, we have a lot until April.

04:34We'll start in February.

04:37February 2, they have a competition in Japan.

04:41It's an international tournament.

04:44But luckily, Japan has a new policy

04:52that they need to apply for one month.

04:54We're lucky that we have two entries,

04:58Sydney and Chino.

05:00I think if Sydney has a category to play in,

05:03if not, she'll be the coach.

05:06Their tandem is good.

05:08They know each other.

05:10They have good dynamics.

05:12Sydney and Chino can coach.

05:16Their training is continuous in Japan.

05:19They're from Sensei Hedimasa.

05:23They train there.

05:27This is the preparation for the upcoming event

05:31in the Dutch Open.

05:34There's also one in the Dutch Open.

05:36There's also one in the US Open.

05:40This is good because this is the first time

05:42that America is hosting.

05:44And this is the point

05:48where PIAS recognizes

05:52our International Federation.

05:55Sir Paolo, aside from that,

05:59congratulations to you

06:01for being re-elected

06:03President of the Philippine Samba Federation.

06:05Sir, can you share with us

06:07the first order of business here,

06:11the first things we'll do as a president this year?

06:15Before that, sir,

06:17I'd like to thank all our chapter members

06:22all over the Philippines

06:25for giving me four years

06:27to serve as a president.

06:29This is non-stop.

06:31We'll have a massive grassroots program.

06:34First of all,

06:36I've already met our coaches

06:39and our new officers.

06:41That's our plan

06:43to really expand.

06:45We have three structures.

06:47We've already strengthened our national team.

06:51This grassroots program,

06:53plus the third one

06:55is the hosting

06:57of international competitions

06:59here in the Philippines.

07:01So we've already worked out

07:03that by October,

07:05we'll host

07:07the World Beach Sambo.

07:09That's interesting.

07:11This is because

07:13we can give

07:15our advantage here

07:17is that we can have

07:19all of our athletes.

07:22So there's no doubt

07:24that we have a bigger chance

07:26of winning.

07:28That's our dream

07:30to produce a world champion

07:32right here in the Philippines.

07:38Our coaches

07:40and our athletes

07:42are working hard

07:44in their research and training.

07:46So hopefully,

07:48if God permits,

07:50we'll have a world champion this year.

07:52That's great.

07:54Let's look back

07:56especially to our teammates

07:58who are not familiar

08:00with the sport of Sambo.

08:02What are the competitions

08:04and awards that we've received

08:06previously?

08:08You've participated in a lot of tournaments last year

08:10and you've won medals here.

08:12What are these awards?

08:14This is our biggest blessing

08:16because imagine

08:19it feels like

08:21it's only been 10 years

08:23since we've held a Sambo in the Philippines.

08:25We've achieved so many things

08:27that I can't even count.

08:29But this is

08:31the latest.

08:33In just one year,

08:35last 2024,

08:37that's why I'm pressuring you.

08:39In 2024,

08:41we've won 3 bronze medals

08:43in the World Championships.

08:45Wow!

08:47We've also won

08:492 rankings.

08:51Number 5

08:53is AC Yap.

08:55And Joe Marie Torres

08:57is number 7.

09:01Chino is

09:03number 23.

09:05We're almost there.

09:07Oh, Sidney is number 13.

09:11We're so lucky.

09:13Hopefully,

09:16we'll be here until 2025.

09:18With your guidance,

09:20we're positive.

09:22I think with the recognition

09:24and medals you've won before,

09:26that will continue to motivate

09:28the whole team to keep striving.

09:30You know, Chila,

09:32this is what I wish for.

09:34Let's do this for 10 years,

09:362025.

09:38Sambo started in 2015.

09:40In 2025, let's be world champions.

09:42Positive.

09:44Coach,

09:46for you,

09:48our goal,

09:50our President,

09:52Paolo Tancontiana,

09:54our goal this year

09:56is to be world champion.

09:58But for you,

10:00how far are we?

10:02Or how close

10:04is our chance to get it this year?

10:06It's close because we're

10:08ranked 18th

10:10in the Philippines

10:13and the whole world.

10:15As a team,

10:17we're ranked 18th in the world.

10:19We can do it.

10:21You're almost number 5.

10:23But Coach,

10:25speaking of world champions

10:27and our elite players,

10:29of course, they're not kids.

10:31Are there people

10:33who are replacing

10:35our new veterans?

10:39Yes, there are a lot of new

10:41veterans who joined the national team

10:43when they were 16 or 17.

10:45They're already strong.

10:47It's been 3 years.

10:49Sir Paolo,

10:51you said that Sambo has only been here

10:53in the Philippines for 10 years

10:55but our national team

10:57achieved a lot.

10:59We're already world champion

11:01levels.

11:03But for our teammates,

11:05how did you bring

11:07this sport here in the Philippines?

11:10Let's talk about it.

11:12It's a long story

11:14but in 2012,

11:18I worked in Singapore

11:20as a foreign coach.

11:22I taught there.

11:24Now, they have a study

11:26that 13-year-old

11:28boys and girls

11:30can compete

11:32and match up.

11:34I said,

11:36I'm a girl, Sydney.

11:38Let's try it.

11:40We played Sambo versus Judo.

11:42Luckily,

11:44we won.

11:46That's how I met Sambo.

11:50Before the Asian Games,

11:52Sambo joined the Asian Games

11:54in 2018.

11:56In 2015,

11:58they wanted

12:00to propagate

12:02in the Philippines.

12:04From Russia,

12:07they reached Davao.

12:09That's why officers from Davao.

12:11Now, I'm back.

12:13Before, I was in Davao.

12:15Now, I'm in Manila.

12:17I'm on vacation in Davao

12:19because of Sambo.

12:21I've seen your videos

12:23and snippets.

12:25Sambo is very similar to Judo.

12:27There's grappling and takedown.

12:29I was excited because

12:31when we shot before,

12:33I had a segment in my first season

12:35where they taught me takedowns

12:37and techniques.

12:39I really enjoyed it.

12:43That was my interview

12:45in our segment.

12:47We were in full gear.

12:49Very interesting.

12:51That's me.

12:55It's a sport

12:57that I believe I can enjoy

12:59especially here in the Philippines.

13:01It's a lifestyle.

13:04I hope you continue

13:06to have good ensayos.

13:08This is an interpretation

13:10by the Russians

13:12of their MMA.

13:14It's very safe.

13:16Before you go to a professional fight,

13:18it's good to study Sambo.

13:20Sir mentioned earlier

13:22that before he brought Sambo to the Philippines,

13:24your son tried it.

13:26It's a sport of being

13:28for men only

13:30or for women only.

13:32That story is inspiring.

13:34It's a beautiful story.

13:36That's where it all started.

13:38They came here.

13:40This NSA

13:42is the only NSA

13:44from Mindanao.

13:46Our office is in Mindanao.

13:48I'm back here

13:50in Manila.

13:52We arranged

13:54with our

13:56coaches.

13:58We made our team stronger.

14:01Now, we're honoring

14:03for the grassroots program

14:05so we can increase.

14:07It's about time, right?

14:09Sir and coach,

14:11so we can get to know this sport

14:13and we can discover

14:15other athletes

14:17who will follow your footsteps

14:19and Sidney's,

14:21especially for female athletes.

14:25Thank you very much,

14:27Mr. Paulo Tangotian.

14:31We'll be with you.

14:33Do you have any message

14:45and want to have

14:47a professional fight,

14:49it's a good start

14:55to train Sambo

14:58so you can have a professional fight.

15:00That's all.

15:02Exercise every day,

15:04discipline,

15:06that's what martial arts is.
