00:00Formal na binuksan sa Talisay City ang kauna-unahang paddle court sa Cebu na libre ang magagamit ng publiko.
00:08Ito'y para mas maingado pa ang ating mga kababayang sumubok ng panibagong sport.
00:12Yan ang ulat ni Jessie Atienza ng PTV Cebu.
00:22Ito na ang hudyat ng pagbubukas sa publiko ng kauna-unahang paddle court sa Talisay City.
00:28Pinawanahan ni Natalisay City Mayor Gerard Anthony Gullias at Senador Pia Cayetano ang ribbon-cutting ceremony ng paddle facility na may dalawang court na kompleto sa kagamitan gaya ng racket at paddle balls.
00:44So what is our job as public officials, national public officials, local public officials, si Mayor Samsam?
00:49We create the facilities, we create the venue, we create the environment for sports to become a part of our life.
00:56So this facility has to be built. Let's remember that in the sauna of the president, he mentioned the importance of sports.
01:04May multipurpose court din para sa ibang sports activities kaya ng basketball at volleyball.
01:10Tiniyak naman ang lokal na pamalaan na pananatilihing libre ang paggamit ng publiko sa pasilidad para mas mainganyo silang subukan ng paglalaro ng paddle.
01:20The most important thing right now is that I told the City Council to not yet pass an ordinance regarding rates so that it would be free for everyone.
01:27The best things that local government units can do is to create an atmosphere and environment for people to try new things.
01:35Of course, we have sports facilities here for the sports that we are used to playing.
01:40But I think the role of government is to introduce new things so that our constituents can adapt if they want to adapt to new sports and they want to transfer to new sports.
01:48Dumalo rin sa ceremonial opening ang Paddle National Team kung saan tinuruan din nila ang sampung local coaches para sila na ang magturo sa kababayang interesadong sumubok.
02:00I would say in the first 30 minutes of training, then you can play.
02:05Paddle is for everyone, no?
02:07So kagaya nga nung sabi ni Senan Nimer kanina, kahit matatanda, kahit mga bata, kahit retirees, kahit baguhan, kahit walang alam sa kahit na anong sport, this is a very, very beginner-friendly sport.
02:20Mula sa PTV Sabu, Jesse Atienza para sa Pambansang TV sa Bagong Pilipinas.
