01:13is the welfare of the athletes.
01:15President Bambol is checking the athletes' condition.
01:20Are they eating okay?
01:24Everything, right?
01:25Of course, the priority is the athletes.
01:26That's why we are all here.
01:28So, that's the priority.

01:33for the Philippines to win a medal at the Winter Games.
01:37Of course, the Philippines is a tropical country
01:40and we don't have snow.
01:41So, that's already a challenge.
01:44But again, the players that are here
01:47are not here to gain experience.
01:50They're out here to win a medal.
