00:00Oh my god! Thank you!
00:07I am so proud of you.
00:10But why volleyball? I mean, do you ask yourself that?
00:14Why volleyball, Fifi?
00:17For me, I think it's predestined in my life coming from, you know,
00:22my dad is also a basketball player, so that heavily influenced why
00:27Why did you fall in love with a volleyball?
00:33Actually, I also used to play basketball first.
00:37Because my dad taught me to play basketball at an early age.
00:40When I was in basketball varsity,
00:43we were disbanded in our school. The next option was volleyball.
00:46And every day, I felt like...
00:49Sorry, I was so shocked.
00:51You want water?
00:53No, I'm good, I'm good.
00:55So, tatay, in encourage, and then...
00:57Opo.
00:58Tapos kami po sa pamilya namin, apat po kami magkakapatid.
01:00Lahat po kami pumasok sa volleyball.
01:02So, it kind of brought us together more as a family.
01:05Weekends po, magkakasama kami manood ng games.
01:08And we never really missed yung mga games ng isa't isa.
01:12Okay. Nakakatuwa kasi ngayon, parang sikat na sikat ng volleyball.
01:16Pero madalas ang tanong ay,
01:18pwede ka na bang mabuhay bilang volleyball player?
01:22Actually, it's a way. Opo.
01:23Pwede na.
01:24Nasa ano na po kami.
01:25Nasa panahon kami na lumalaki na po yung sport.
01:28Marami nang sumusuporta.
01:29And dati po kasi kung gusto namin mag-volleyball after university,
01:33wala pa pong options eh.
01:35Walang professional teams.
01:36Kailangan mong mag-enlist sa Army or sa Navy para mag-volleyball pa.
01:39Ngayon, after university.
01:41I remember that.
01:42Opo.
01:43Ngayon, after university.
01:44May professional teams na po na pwedeng kuning kami as employees talaga ng kumpanya to represent the brand.
01:52Bakit marami yung mag-abroad?
01:54Lalo na sa Japan.
01:55Hindi lang sila KIF at sa 30s of basketball.
01:58Marami sila diba?
01:59Also volleyball.
02:00Why?
02:01Because especially when gusto nyo pong gumaling pa in your sport or in your profession,
02:06gusto nyo pong ilagay yung sarili nyo out of your comfort zone
02:09in places na hindi po kayo sanay.
02:11Kasi for us, athletes, that's where we grow the most.
02:14Kung saan po kami hindi komportable.
02:16Yung level po sa volleyball sa Japan,
02:18kunwari po nung 2 years po na naglaro ako doon,
02:20as in feeling ko hindi mo mag-volleyball.
02:22Kasi ganun na sila ka-advanced sa level nila.
02:25Tapos pagbalik ko sa Pilipinas, lahat din po nang natutunan ko,
02:28kaya kong ipasa sa next generation or dalhin po sa national team
02:31para umangat din po yung level ng volleyball sa Pilipinas.
02:35I'm hearing this for the first time.
02:37Ganun pala yun.
02:38It's not just about the money.
02:39Does it pay well?
02:40I think it pays well.
02:41Pwede, no?
02:42It pays well.
02:43Akala ko it was all about the money.
02:44Hindi ko alam na nakakagaling din, nakakaganda din sa atin
02:47dahil you're exposed to an entirely different community of players.
02:50Opo, that's true.
02:52Oo na maiuwi mo naman yung expertise na yun sa mga kasamahan.
02:56Opo.
02:57Wonderful.
02:58Pwede.
02:59Oops.
03:00Opo.
03:01Pwede.
03:02Pwede.
03:03Pwede.
03:04Opo.
03:07Tewilakala.
03:09Kroo.
03:10Opo.
