00:00PTV Sports is back! We got to know the triathlete, Joseph Balthazar, and his housemate, Tonshine,

00:13who are organizing marathons, races, and other events in the Philippines.

00:19Good morning! Welcome to PTV Sports!

00:21Good morning!

00:22Good morning, sir and ma'am.

00:26Oh, okay.

00:28I forgot.

00:31It's still early, partner. Maybe Sir Prince hasn't had his coffee yet.

00:35But the triathletes are used to waking up early.

00:39Actually, we woke up at 4 o'clock.

00:41You woke up at 4 o'clock?

00:43It's really earlier than the chickens.

00:46Yes, before they hatched the chickens.

00:49But Sir Prince and Ma'am Tonshine, our first question is,

00:54since you are organizing big events, specifically running events,

00:59how did you get into running?

01:03Since 2008, we started at Oval, at the Marguerita Sports Complex.

01:10Because when I was still at the company, I was still working there.

01:14So, 4 to 5 o'clock in the afternoon, I was out of the company, in the office.

01:21So, of course, I was stressed at work.

01:24That's the outlet, sometimes, for sports enthusiasts.

01:29So, I started at Oval.

01:34At most, 5 rounds is enough for the beginners.

01:39But of course, jog and walk.

01:41Because, of course, you need to be mentally and physically ready.

01:48Because sometimes, even if you're physically fit,

01:51but your mind-conditioning is not.

01:56So, we did a night run before.

01:58But we didn't choose to jog or walk as long as we move.

02:07Because now, the trend is night run and early morning.

02:11Partner, they are husband and wife.

02:12So, as a couple, how do you support each other in training, in the triathlon?

02:17And does this have an advantage?

02:19Yes, yes.

02:20Actually, we started last year to ride a bike.

02:24So, our bike course in Caliraya Lake.

02:27Because we are from Laguna.

02:29Because when you ride a bike, the safety of the bike is important.

02:34Of course, there is one meter in the car.

02:37So, our bonding is running, swimming, and biking.

02:41That's our advantage.

02:43So, sometimes, we go to Subic.

02:46Because in Subic, the swim course is good, open water, aside from Batangas.

02:52Partner, now, I want to hear from Ms. Sunshine.

02:57We heard earlier how Sir Prince started in running.

03:01Now, when did you start?

03:04Did you follow him?

03:05Or was he the first one and then eventually you got influenced?

03:09He was the first one.

03:10I was just influenced.

03:12Of course, as a wife, I have to support his sports.

03:17But before, when we were not yet, sometimes, when I have time, I also jog.

03:22But I do it by myself.

03:23So, I also walk.

03:25It's like a stress reliever.

03:29And then, we got married.

03:33I was more fond of jogging than biking.

03:38That's what we call bonding.

03:42The marathon is a stress reliever.

03:44Being a triathlete.

03:46Actually, it's true.

03:47It's true.

03:48Stress reliever.

03:50Can you explore on that?

03:51Because, you know, sports is very important for the body.

03:56Because we promote a healthy lifestyle.

04:00It's very important for the youth.

04:03And far beyond.

04:05Now, gadgets.

04:07Aside from drugs.

04:08Because, of course, the child is coming out.

04:12Especially, triathletes.

04:14On the road.

04:15There's a good process of training.

04:20Because the heat of the sun is important.

04:22Right?

04:23Yes.

04:24The sun protection on the body.

04:26That's what gives a strong vitamin.

04:29So, it's healthy.

04:30Yes.

04:31There's a sunshine question.

04:32Do we have any sort of friendly competition?

04:35Even when we're married, sometimes, it's a bit slow.

04:39There's still a competitive spirit.

04:42There is.

04:43Because sometimes, when we're jogging, we're really competing.

04:47We're competing.

04:48We're competing on who's faster and who's faster.

04:52Sometimes, the time needs to be faster.

04:55It needs to be like this.

04:56There is.

04:57And I assume, putting that extra layer of competition,

05:02it becomes more enjoyable somehow.

05:05Yes, that's true.

05:06Correct.

05:07And there's more adrenaline.

05:08Yes.

05:09In our park, it's really hard to give time for training.

05:13Because, of course, we have a family.

05:15We have a business.

05:16So, it's really hard to focus on our training.

05:19Sometimes, she's the one jogging.

05:22I'm the one in the business.

05:25It's really hard.

05:26In your friendly competition, who usually wins?

05:29Who gives first?

05:31Me.

05:33But for me, I'm the one who gives first

05:37because she's a professional.

05:39So, when I give first, I feel proud.

05:44But what makes me happy about Sunshine, my wife,

05:48is that she can run 10 kilometers without training.

05:52She's disciplined.

05:53Yes.

05:54Because she's built her body inborn.

05:57Her body, her stamina, is strong since birth.

06:02But now that we know how you started running,

06:05how did you start joining competitions?

06:12Usually, I join Ironman 70.3,

06:16Subic, Cebu, Dabao, and Palawan.

06:23So, we should really promote in the Philippines,

06:25triathlon, ultramarathon, and running events.

06:30It's really important because it's a stress reliever.

06:36It's fun to do sports,

06:38especially if there's an extra budget for the family,

06:42for the company, and for the groups.

06:46It's important for the group to be encouraged to join running events.

06:52What's good about this, partner, of course,

06:54is that the marathon is held in different parts of the Philippines.

06:58That's important.

06:59How about you?

07:00What's one of the memorable competitions or races that you've joined?

07:06I've joined a lot of races around the Philippines.

07:11There's Cebu, Baguio, Pagayan de Oro, Dabao, nationwide.

07:19But the last one, in 2016,

07:23was the Skyway Marathon, not ours.

07:25Skyway.

07:27It's fun when you run on the Skyway.

07:29Obviously, it's just a car that travels.

07:34It's for motorists to travel.

07:36When you're on the Skyway,

07:38the elevation is high.

07:43I can shout from the top of the bridge.

07:49That's a really unique experience, partner.

07:52It's like you're running on the Skyway,

07:55and the view is amazing.

07:58Ma'am, what's the most memorable marathon race that you've joined?

08:03Actually, this is the only race that I've joined.

08:05I've joined Milo and 7-Eleven.

08:09So how was the experience?

08:11It was fun.

08:13I was encouraged to join the marathons,

08:17especially when you see someone ahead of you.

08:20You become more eager to train,

08:23because it feels good to surpass others.

08:28Sometimes, it's not just the top three or podium,

08:31or the finish line, or the arch.

08:33Sometimes, you're ahead even if your body is good,

08:37because it's really mind-conditioning.

08:39Sometimes, even if you're well-prepared,

08:41if you lack sleep, food, and caffeine,

08:45it's useless.

08:47For marathons, mental toughness and resilience are important.

08:52Or actually, balance with physical endurance.

08:56So what's the goal that mental toughness aims for

09:01in such a long race like a marathon?

09:07Ma'am, of course, your body needs mind-conditioning.

09:15Everyone is conditioned.

09:16Before the event, you need to rest.

09:21You need to be in a good condition,

09:24because if you're not, you'll have problems.

09:27Especially your health.

09:28Sometimes, you'll have a heart attack

09:31if you're not in a good condition.

09:33If you force yourself to finish the finish line,

09:38and you know that you have a problem,

09:41you shouldn't do that.

09:42Your body and mind should be conditioned.

09:47During the races, what do you tell yourself?

09:50Do you self-talk?

09:51You should.

09:52You need to.

09:54Because an ultra-marathon is self-discipline,

09:57self-support along the highway, along the road,

10:01night run, or morning.

10:02You need to be able to convince yourself

10:05to finish, let's say, for example, 100 kilometers.

10:08You need to have a 10-kilometer mindset.

10:11You drink, you eat.

10:13Sometimes, you can sit, or you can rest.

10:16But of course, within a cut of time,

10:20you should be able to finish the races within that time.

10:23Let's say, for example, 100 kilometers is 24 hours.

10:28That's a whole afternoon.

10:32Sir Prince, you attend Prince Muldee Sports Events

10:36and ultra-marathons.

10:38Can you explain to our teammates what exactly is that?

10:42Yes.

10:43The triathlon, the Prince Muldee Sports Events,

10:46is three disciplines.

10:48Swim, bike, and run.

10:50That's what happens in the Ironmans in the Philippines.

10:54The ultra-marathon is purely running.

10:57Night run, and sometimes, you can reach the sun.

11:02Long distance.

11:03The good thing about the Ironmans is that

11:07it's all about speed.

11:09The discipline is harder.

11:13For the swim part, you need to finish it within one hour.

11:19For the bike, it's four to five hours.

11:22For the run, it's four hours.

11:24So, there's a cut of time.

11:25Unlike the ultra-marathon, you can relax and chill on the road.

11:29You can kiss your friends.

11:33You can talk to each other.

11:36That's the difference.

11:38The ultra-marathon is all about relaxing.

11:40In this event, they have a theme called runcation and racecation.

11:46This is so interesting.

11:48Can you tell us more about the theme?

11:51For the runcation and racecation,

11:54we usually notice that some people run alone.

11:59For the runcation, we have a barrack.

12:03They can bring their family there.

12:06We have a 5-kilometer run for their kids

12:09and 10-kilometer run for their wife.

12:12That's where the bonding happens.

12:14After the event, they can still walk and relax.

12:17Partner, it's fun.

12:19Usually, when you go on vacation,

12:22this is where your routine stops.

12:26This is the time for me to gain weight.

12:31It's like a cheat day.

12:33But they combined physical activity and vacation.

12:40Best of all, you're with your loved ones, your family,

12:44while doing this sport.

12:46Like this time, I'm with my wife.

12:50We'll go to a place.

12:54We'll do an ocular inspection.

12:58We'll look at the route.

13:00I'm with my wife.

13:02We'll look at the route.

13:04We also run.

13:05We test the route to see if it's really good.

13:08Especially in Boracay.

13:10Around the island, it's really good.

13:12The botanist den, the Lapu-Lapu area,

13:15the Mactan Island.

13:17By June, we'll be there.

13:19How hard is it to organize such big events?

13:22Especially in these locations like Boracay, Botanist.

13:27Boracay and Botanist are very close.

13:30It has a name, Island.

13:34All you have to do is the early booking of flights.

13:38You need to get a promo.

13:40Later, you'll register for our event.

13:43When you go there,

13:45sometimes they'll advance 2 days before.

13:48They'll go around the route.

13:50The good thing about Boracay is

13:54there are a lot of stores around the island.

13:57You can run even if you're alone.

14:00You can buy food and drinks.

14:06Partner, they have an upcoming event,

14:09Luneta to Tagaytay.

14:11Yes.

14:12It's a 60-kilometer ultramarathon.

14:14Can you tell us more about it?

14:16That's the good thing about Luneta to Tagaytay.

14:18Coming from Manila, going to Tagaytay.

14:21The start is at kilometer zero.

14:24It's right in front of the monument.

14:28Kilometer zero is around the Philippines.

14:30That's where the distance nationwide starts.

14:33Kilometer zero, going to Tagaytay, 60 kilometers.

14:38People's Park in the sky, the finish line.

14:41It's in the highlands.

14:43Within 14 hours, you should be able to finish it.

14:47The good thing about it is it's been more than 10 years.

14:50Our first one was in 2014.

14:52We were the most participants in the ultramarathon events.

14:56Almost 700 people ran.

15:01Can we do it, partner?

15:02When we try this,

15:04Luneta to Tagaytay, 14 hours.

15:07Yes, it's a night run.

15:08The start is at 10 o'clock.

15:10The finish line is at 12 o'clock.

15:19If it's like that, you should be in good condition.

15:23Conditioned.

15:24Every 10 kilometers, we have a hydration station.

15:28There's water, soft drinks, soda, and energy drinks.

15:33There's banana, chocolate, and salt.

15:37Salt is very important.

15:39If you're dizzy or your mind condition changes,

15:43you can use salt.

15:44For hydration, right?

15:45Yes.

15:46Coke can be used for sugar.

15:48If your blood sugar drops.

15:50To retain water in the body.

15:53Aside from that, we have a standby ambulance.

15:57Yes.

15:58That's important.

15:59Who can participate in this event?

16:02Where can they register?

16:06You can participate in Ultra Marathon.

16:0918 years old and above.

16:11Ultra Marathon is hardcore racing.

16:14You should be 18 years old and above.

16:16Sometimes, there are senior citizens.

16:23You know what's good about senior citizens?

16:26They are more prepared than younger runners.

16:30Maybe there's a notion that if you're younger, you can do this.

16:35They are overconfident.

16:37They can't handle the youth.

16:39Their bodies are strong.

16:41In the Philippines, you should go back to the running clinic.

16:43It's very important for athletes.

16:46You're right.

16:48When you're younger, your mind is strong.

16:51You can do it.

16:52But when it's actual race, your body gives up.

16:55That's why a lot of people collapse sometimes.

16:58Ma'am, we're in a very good spot right now when it comes to running.

17:04The culture of running in the Philippines is booming.

17:09Business is booming.

17:10Why do you think this is what's happening in the culture of running in the Philippines?

17:16Why are a lot of people joining?

17:18Actually, a lot of people are joining.

17:19A lot of people are joining the events.

17:21Nationwide.

17:22You know, 10 years ago, when I started,

17:26the running events in the Philippines that we monitor,

17:29Luzon Visayas Mindanao,

17:31there's a panoramic tent there.

17:32We know that we monitor it.

17:34Now, you can't monitor it anymore because it's organized by the province, by the town.

17:39Because what's important in organizing,

17:42for me, running,

17:44it's not just organizing.

17:46We should also help the community.

17:49We give school supplies,

17:51and also programs.

17:52Like in Boracay,

17:53last time, we had a feeding program with guardians.

17:58Those are the communities.

18:00That's important.

18:01That's right, partner.

18:02There are a lot of fun runs and marathon events with a cause.

18:07Majority events.

18:08That's important.

18:09And that's also one of the reasons why I think a lot of people are joining running

18:14because all you need here is shoes, right?

18:16Correct.

18:17Unlike other sports.

18:18Other sports that are popular now are rocket sports.

18:21There are equipment that you can buy,

18:23like bikes.

18:24Even if you ride a bike,

18:25you also need a budget, right?

18:27But when you run,

18:28it's just shoes.

18:29It's very friendly to all.

18:31Aside from shoes,

18:32there are also barefoot runners.

18:35Are there any sanctioned events for barefoot runners?

18:37Yes, there are.

18:39It's fun.

18:40100 kilometers or 160 kilometers,

18:42barefoot.

18:44Those are the ones that are really dedicated to themselves.

18:48Because sometimes, when you run,

18:50you're dedicating it to your family when you're sick.

18:53That's how it is.

18:54It's like my wish.

18:56That's why I'm doing this.

18:57Aside from my healthy lifestyle,

18:59my family,

19:00my mother,

19:01needs to get better.

19:02It's like you're giving them the spirit of recovery.

19:09Sacrifice.

19:11Are there any events that our sports fans should watch?

19:16Yes.

19:19You know,

19:20if you see it,

19:21you'll notice that

19:22the sports and tourism in the Philippines

19:25that I'm promoting,

19:27Burakay,

19:28Batanes,

19:29Palawan,

19:30Cebu,

19:32like for example,

19:33Baguio,

19:34Subic,

19:35it's very important for our place to be beautiful in the Philippines.

19:40When you run,

19:41the wind should be fresh.

19:44Right?

19:45Because your lungs should be returning the pressure.

19:51So when you go home,

19:53your mind should be relaxed,

19:54your body should feel good.

19:56It's fun when you exercise.

19:59You know,

20:0030 minutes walk in the morning is a big thing.

20:04Or more than that,

20:05it's much better.

20:07But partner,

20:08before we say goodbye,

20:10the day of the hearts is coming.

20:13So I'm a bit curious here,

20:15Ma'am.

20:17On February 14,

20:19on Valentine's Day,

20:20what's your date?

20:21Will you run together?

20:24Actually,

20:25he's already thinking about where we're going

20:28so we can go jogging.

20:32Or bike.

20:33Bike.

20:34He's already with us.

20:36Whenever we walk,

20:37he's always with us.

20:39Even on Valentine's Day?

20:41Yes.

20:42Correct.

20:44Meanwhile,

20:45before we say goodbye,

20:46do you have any message to our viewers,

20:48shoutouts,

20:49or do you want to say something?

20:50The floor is yours.

20:52Yes.

20:53Thank you to the ultrarunners around the Philippines,

20:56to the newbies,

21:00to the newbies,

21:01to the newbies,

21:02to the runners.

21:03It's important

21:07to have shoes.

21:10And join the fun races.

21:13Because after,

21:16after one year,

21:17two years,

21:18you'll be an ultramarathon,

21:20long-distance runner,

21:21and Ironman.

21:23So my advice is to focus.

21:25Mindsetting.

21:27Of course, you have to be sports-minded.

21:29My wife was right.

21:30Sports should be a stress-reliever.

21:33That's right.

21:35How about you, Ma'am Sunshine?

21:37What is our message

21:39that you want to convey to our viewers?

21:44I think in sports,

21:45we really need that.

21:48We need to tell our body

21:53that every day,

21:54even if it's just a 30-minute walk,

21:57or if we can do more,

21:59we need to always have time for sports.

22:02For our health.

22:04Alright.

22:05Thank you so much, Sir Prince and Ma'am Sunshine.

22:08Thank you so much,

22:09and good luck with your upcoming events.

22:11Yes, yes.
