00:07na isinusulong ang pagpasok ng gymnastics sa UAAP at NCAA
00:13bilang collegiate sports.
00:15Yan ang report, D-Mate Jamaica Bayaka.
00:19Matapos ang makasaysayang dalawang Olympic gold medal
00:22si Carlos Yulo sa Paris 2024,
00:25ang kauna-unahang Pilipinong nagwagi ng multiple gold
00:28sa isang Olympics, lumalakas ang panawagan
00:31na isali ang gymnastics sa mga major collegiate tournament sa bansa.
00:35Ayon kay Philippine Sports Commission Chairperson Patrick Pato O'Gregorio,
00:39ininalapit na sa UAAP at NCAA ang gymnastics
00:43at aasahang masasaksihan na ito sa susunod na taon.
00:46As we talked to the officers and members of the board
00:51of the biggest sports tournaments of schools in the Philippines,
00:56namely the UAAP and the NCAA.
00:59And we told them,
01:01how come you do not have gymnastics in the college-level sports?
01:07They assured me that starting next year,
01:10this major school tournaments,
01:14universities in the Philippines
01:16will now introduce gymnastics as part of the program.
01:19And that is really the way to go.
01:23Sa kasalukuyan,
01:24ang gymnastics ay masakit na naiiwan sa mga traditional na palaro sa kolehyo,
01:28kahit na ang Pilipinas ay may malaking potensyal sa sports na ito.
01:32Kaya naman bukas ang PSC
01:33na suporta na infrastructure,
01:35training at grassroots programs
01:37para mas maikonekta ang mga batang gymnas sa collegiate system.
01:41Nasa halos 20 sports ang opisyal na nilalaro sa UAAP,
01:45kabilang na ang basketball, volleyball at athletics.
01:48Inaasahang madalagdagan ito sa pagpasok ng mga bagong sports sa mga susunod pang season.
01:54Gymnastics is a beautiful sport.
01:56Gymnastics is a sport that we,
01:58the Filipinos can excel in this sport.
02:02They just need all the support.
02:04Yes, not just support in terms of,
02:06I guess, funding from the Philippine Sports Commission,
02:08not just funding from the corporate supporters,
02:12but news, positive news from our media friends.
02:17Because kailangan maintindihan ng Pilipino,
02:20gano'n ba kaganda yung sport na ito.
02:22It is nice to look at, nice to watch,
02:25but it is a difficult sport.
02:26But if we can do it again and again,
02:29then it will happen.
02:30We can develop young athletes.
02:33Jamay Cabayaka,
02:34para sa atletang Pilipino,
02:36para sa bagong Pilipinas.
