00:00Meanwhile, Pope Francis had a hard time breathing in the midst of a mass in the Vatican.
00:07We have to continue the reading to make it difficult for us to breathe.
00:13Pope Francis was unable to continue reading his message in the mass
00:17for the armed forces, police, and security personnel there.
00:21He reached for an aid, a copy of the Talumpati, to have it read.
00:25Meanwhile, the Pope was able to read the Angelus Prayer for peace.
00:32A week ago, the Vatican announced that Pope Francis had bronchitis,
00:37but his activities continued.
00:43The championship in the NCAA Season 100 Beach Volleyball Tournament
00:47in the Subic Bay Freeport Zone was heated
00:49with the sports bites of Niko Wahe.
00:56At the same time as the crowd was cheering,
00:59the Lady Knights Duo led by Gia Maquilang and Lara Silva
01:03were just watching.
01:05That was after the championship in the NCAA Season 100
01:09Beach Volleyball Tournament Women's Division
01:12that was held in the Subic Bay Freeport Zone.
01:15They defeated the Lyceum Lady Pirates, 2 sets to 1, in the championship game.
01:20This was a historic victory for the Lady Knights
01:22because they were able to win three consecutive seasons.
01:26It was really hard. We were losing,
01:29but our coach told us to just trust our teammates
01:33and see what the Lord will give us.
01:36The most valuable player, Gia Maquilang, was also the MVP last season.
01:41I was really pressured by the expectations of our teammates.
01:45Even though it was just luck that we won, we really worked hard.
01:50In the Men's Division, a new champion was named.
01:56From rank 7 last season to champion this season 100,
02:00the EAC Generals, who finished the game 2 sets to none,
02:05versus Binl Blazers.
02:07Both of them were rookies.
02:09John Ruther Abor, who was named MVP,
02:12and Paul Jacinze, who was the rookie of the year in the Men's Division.
02:17To be honest, it was really hard.
02:19But as our coach said, we didn't have any expectations
02:23since we're just a new team.
02:25We're rookies in the men's division,
02:27so we didn't have any expectations.
02:30We just enjoyed the game every week.
02:32We were inspired by what happened to our team last season.
02:36We did that to improve our team.
02:42In the Juniors Division, Arellano Braves was named
02:45after defeating the defending champion, EAC Brigadiers, 2 sets to 1.
02:50The EAC's brothers, Aljan and James Apdian,
02:53were the first to set the tandem.
02:55Before that, John Olsen Robles and John Lester Calura
02:59were the next to set the tandem.
03:01What we learned from the EAC is to be strong,
03:04to have a strong heart, and to believe in ourselves.
03:07MVP owner Robles was also named.
03:10We know that we can do it.
03:12We believe in each other.
03:14This season is really unpredictable.
03:16We have new champions, juniors, seniors,
03:20and of course, women's, very competitive almost.
03:24The game is good.
03:26The team's really prepared for this 100th season of the NCAA.
