00:00Samantala, silipin naman natin ang mga naging kaganapan sa matagumpay na pagdaraos ng 6th Manuel Vigellias,
00:08Philippine International Open Karate Championship sa Tagaytay City Track Velodrome.
00:14Para sa detalye, narito ang report ni teammate Paulo Salamatin.
00:20Nagtipon-tipon ang mahigit isang libong karatekas mula sa iba't ibang bansa
00:24upang lumahok sa taon ng kompetisyon na inihanda ng Karate Pilipinas Sports Federation.
00:30Ang ika-anim na edisyon ng Manuel Vigellias Philippine International Open Karate Championships
00:35sa pinakabago at unang indoor track cycling facility ng International Cycling Union o UCI Standard
00:42na Tagaytay City Velodrome sa Tagaytay City.
00:46Bago ang kompetisyon nitong weekend, mas naging sulit ang pananatili ng mga foreign athletes sa Pilipinas
00:51dahil sa isinagawang 3-day training camp sa kaparehong venue
00:55at sa panguna ng mga world-class trainers tulad din na former World and European Karate Champion
01:00at Philippine National Team Coach o kay ARPA at marami pang iba.
01:04Sa pagdatapos kahapon ng nasabing kompetisyon,
01:07ikinitawa namang ilang karatekas ang paglahok sa mga ganitong klaseng international competitions
01:11na nagsisilbing malaking exposure o mano para sa kanila.
01:14Sobrang laki pong bagay kasi po, ano, since bata pa lang po, late din po kasi ako nag-start,
01:22gusto ko din po na malaman yung name ko ng Pilipinas.
01:26Gusto ko din po ipaglaban yung Pilipinas sa ibang countries, ganun po.
01:31So this is my second big international event.
01:35The training camp leading up is really the focal point
01:39and then the competition's more of a time to work out
01:44if you can bring anything into that style
01:46and then just focus on what works and what doesn't work.
01:50A learning opportunity, it's good and it should continue onwards
01:53because it's a great learning experience.
01:56Maybe add under 21s because that would be great
01:58but other than that, it's lovely, yeah.
02:00Kasi po, ito po yung, ano, yung world-class na international.
02:09Makalaban po namin yung mga ibang bansa,
02:11mga players na tune-up po namin sa Batang Pinoy.
02:17Maganda yun po experience.
02:19Actually, it sounds great that you're fighting against other countries
02:23like New Zealand, Australia, Hong Kong, including like something else.
02:27So, to be honest, it's very hard when we play.
02:32Nagbigay din ng pahayag ang dalawang membro ng Fulopin Karate Team
02:36na kapwa na kampiyon sa nasabing torneo
02:38na anilay magsisilbi itong isa sa mga basihan nila
02:41ng preparasyon bago sumabak sa Southeast Asian Games
02:44ngayong Disyembre sa Thailand.
02:47Importante po sa aming lahat itong Manuel Vigillas Karate Championship po
02:52dahil sa'yo po ng coach namin sa amin na this is the time to explore more technique
02:58and no pressure.
03:01Manalo-matalo ang pinaka-importante is gawin natin,
03:04ilabas natin lahat ng technique so that for the next championship po international,
03:09like in Malaysia po, Series A,
03:12handa na po kami, hindi na po kami takot or doubted
03:15mag-throw ng more techniques po po.
03:17It's very big kasi to go abroad,
03:22to have this kind of experience,
03:23you have to shell out so much money.
03:27So for here, ito na, si Xi'an,
03:30our Karate Philbinas president,
03:32siya na yung nagdala ng experience for us here in Tagaytay.
03:36So less expenses, high level exposure,
03:39so beneficial siya for all athletes,
03:41especially the younger athletes.
03:43Present sa opening ceremony,

03:58ng international open karate event sa Pilipinas.
04:00It's exactly how we want it.
04:04It's exactly how we envisioned it, no?
04:08And it's exactly how we're planning it
04:10para rin sa other sports in all other regions in the Philippines.
04:15Ang importante, ayan, no?
04:16Weekend, long holiday, families all together,
04:19watching the kids play.
04:22Iyon yung pinaka-importante, di ba?
04:23Yun ang mensahe ni Presidente during his own physical fitness and sports.
04:29Sabi nga ni Presidente,
04:31ano bang pinakamalalang mangyayari sa bata, di ba?
04:33Injury lang, gagaling din.
04:35Pero that's why ako,
04:37kahit ganito nga, holiday, nakakapagod,
04:40I'm here.
04:42Para naman bigyan ng motivation yung mga atleta.
04:46Well, it's an honor to, ano,
04:50to Sian Manuel Vigiles,
04:52who started, uh,
04:53he was the first president of the Philippine Karate Federation.
04:56And at the same time,
04:57he's also the president of AAK.
04:59Uh, AAK was established 1964.
05:02So we are one of the first
05:04and longest-running karate of the Philippines.
05:08So it's an honor to him to have this.
05:10Since he passed away,
05:12we started doing this annually.
05:14So every year, yan, meron tayo.
05:17And it's getting bigger and bigger every year.
