00:00Matapos ang kampanya ng Dinas Pilipinas na nagtapos sa ikapitong pwesto sa FIBA Asia Cup,
00:06iginiit ni PSC Chairman Patrick Pato Gregorio na ang pagtutok sa grassroots development
00:11ang susi sa paghubog ng mga future champions ng bansa.
00:16Narito ang report ni teammate Jamaica Bayaca.
00:21Hindi na bago ang makitang magingin sa international stage
00:24ang nga basketball powerhouse na bansang tulad ng Australia.
00:27Kamakailan na itala ng Australia ang kanilang three-peat victory sa FIBA Asia Cup
00:32at patuloy na nangunguna bilang world number seven sa FIBA rankings.
00:36Sa huling laban ng Dinas Pilipinas contra Australia sa quarterfinals ng nasabing torneo,
00:41hindi nakapoma ang pambansang kupunan matapos silang dominahin ng matitingding opensiba ng kalaban.
00:47Dahil dito, natapos ang kampanya ng Dinas bilang ikapitong pwesto sa torneo.
00:52Noong 2013 at 2015, na i-uwi ng Pilipinas ang pinakamataas sa placement bilang silver medalist.
00:58Pero taong 1985 pa, huling nakasungkit ng kampyonato ang bansa sa FIBA Asia
01:02at hanggang ngayon na inaasam pa rin maulit ang ganitong tagumpay.
01:06Kaya naman may nakikitang magandang solusyon si Patrick Pato Gregorio,
01:10Philippine Sports Commission Chairperson,
01:12para mas mapalakas at maibalik ang pwersa ng Pilipinas,
01:15hindi lang sa FIBA Asia Cup, kundi sa lahat ng Basketball International Leagues.
01:19Program lang yan eh. Recruitment program, grassroots program, funding is there.
01:25Nandiyan ang support ng San Miguel, nandiyan ang support ng MVP Sports Foundation.
01:30Ano lang yan? It's just a matter of time.
01:32Ang sports kasi, ang daming cycle niya, napakahaba na cycle.
01:36That is what we have to emphasize.
01:39Dapat paliwanag natin yun.
01:40Hindi naman, you do not make a champion overnight, di ba?
01:43Look at Alex Ayala, tennis.
01:47Kailan ba siya nagsimula?
01:49Six years old?
01:50Di ba? And she's getting there.
01:52Look at Hideline, four Olympic cycles.
01:54Look at Galoy, two Olympic cycles.
01:57Naniniwala si Paton,
01:59ang grassroots development ay magiging matibay na haligi
02:01para sa hinaharap ng sports sa bansa.
02:04Aniya sa murang edad pa lamang,
02:05ay dapat lang hubugin ang mga atleta,
02:08hindi lang sa basketball, kundi sa lahat ng sports.
02:10Pag na-realize natin yan,
02:13na yung mga kabataan, dapat they have to start young.
02:16And when I say young,
02:18nine, ten years old,
02:20I was in the archery tournament last Sunday in Marikina.
02:23500 youth archers,
02:25500,
02:26age 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.
02:29Unbelievable.
02:30Pero yun ang support na dapat niligay natin.
02:32Tinatagoy na ngayon ng PSC
02:35ang mga programa para mas maraming
02:37Pilipinong kampiyon
02:38ang may handa at may pagmalaki sa buong mundo.
02:41Please pursue the plan
02:44to put up regional training centers
02:46all over the country
02:47as soon as possible
02:49as long as they adopt a specific sport.
02:53It doesn't have to be big.
02:55It doesn't have to be big.
02:56It doesn't have to be a grand stadium.
02:59It has to be focused on a particular sport
03:01so that the province can be good at it
03:05so that nandun yung grassroot.
03:07Jabay Kabayaka
03:08para sa atletang Pilipino
03:10para sa bagong Pilipinas.
