00:00First, I want to say sorry, but I did my best and this is my best for now.

00:06Dahil may injury ako and nahihirapan ako mag-drabway.

00:11And kasi lumaki ako. Pero ayun niya, it's not a big excuse.

00:16But at the end of the day, hindi ako sumuko. Nag-prepare ako and I'm happy to represent our country.

00:25Ano ko yung injury?

00:27Still the same, 2023 nung ka-injury ako before the Olympic qualifying.

00:34Medyo din na after not qualifying sa Paris, medyo nawalan na ako ng motivation.

00:46This is my first international competition after 2024.

00:53So, I'm happy to be back again.

00:55Dito sa Thailand?

00:56Yes. Oh nga. Dito din sa Thailand.

01:00Yung injury, right or knee ba yun?

01:03Right knee. Right knee, yes.

01:05Medyo kumirot na siya lang ngayon?

01:07Uh...

01:08After the second time?

01:10Yes.

01:11Yes.

01:12Pero upay lang.

01:14Kaya na yun.

01:15Kailangan po buhatin.

01:18Buhatin yun.

01:19So, before this, may session ako sa sports psychologist ko.

01:25Kasi I've been living, during the whole preparation, nandun yung doubt yung kung kaya ko ba ba.

01:32So, yung instruction ng sports psychologist ko, buhatin mo yan.

01:37So, yun ang kailangan kong sabihin sa sarili ko.

01:39Kasi sabi nga niya, expert ako sa weightlifting.

01:42So, yun ang kailangan kong doon.

01:45Sa akin is, uh...

01:49It's not the physical training.

01:51It's more on the mental training.

01:53So, yun yung medyo nahirapan ako.

01:55Then, for one year, almost two years na akong hindi naglaro.

01:59So, na-miss ko rin pala itong feeling na maglaro for the Philippines and nandun sa coding.

02:06So, I'm happy to be back.

02:09What's next?

02:10What's next?

02:11Um...

02:12Hoping next year, nasa Olympic qualifying ako for LA.

02:16Pero nagbago na rin ang weight category.

02:19So, weight category ng weightlifting, it's keep changing.

02:22So, third time na ito ngayon.

02:24So, titignan natin, 61 kilos naman.

02:2761?

02:28Yes!

02:29Yes, yes, 61 naman.

02:30Pero titignan natin.

02:31I'm hoping na mas marami pang atleta na mas makapaglaro sa weightlifting.

02:38Kasi iba naman yung category, pero mas marami tayong mabibuild na athlete for weightlifting.

02:45Kasi alam naman natin na sa Pilipinas talaga maraming magagaling at malalakas.

02:50So, are you going to mention the motivation for the weightlifting community?

02:55Um...

02:56Actually, hindi.

02:57Na...

02:58Uh...

02:59Ano bang?

03:00Uh...

03:01Siguro for the Philippines.

03:03Uh...

03:04Nandito ako for the Philippines and for the weightlifting community.

03:09Kasi, I have to stand for the athletes behind me.

03:10And I need to motivate them kahit nahihirapan ako.

03:11And then, for the Pilipino athletes also.

03:12It's a story of...

03:13It's a different kind of story.

03:14It's not a winning story.

03:15It's a...

03:16Um...

03:17Um...

03:18Keeping...

03:19Um...

03:20Keeping...

03:21Not a keeping up story.

03:22For Hydel UDS.

03:23Kanyan niya sa backstage, uh...

03:24Nakita na ante in financial reversal in personal learning kainahan?

03:25Oo, para sa akin kasi...

03:26Um...

03:27Nagsosorry ako kasi I'm not...

03:28I did not win any medal.

03:29For the Philippines.

03:30Uh...

03:31This, uh...

03:32Sea Games.

03:33But...

03:34Ayun nga.

03:35This is my best for now.

03:36Diba?

03:37Kaysa?

03:38I-satthomo nung...

03:39Yasa salitakyong.

03:52Do you think you're not planning to retire any time soon?

03:56Depends on what's going on.

04:00There are plans.

04:04We're still there. We're close to retirement.

04:08But we need to look at what's going on.

04:12After winning gold, what's next?

04:16To be sports leader, I will be a lecturer next year.

04:20So, what's next for Idol India?

04:22So, I'm a little nervous.

04:26Definitely not yet, but I'm still there.

04:30And since I got fired here, I got fired.

04:34But I need to do it for the Philippine Weightlifting Association.

04:40So, what's going on?

04:44Let's look at it.

04:46But, um...

04:48I just want...

04:50I can't say anything.

04:52Actually, one can see is the псotap blanks you used to.

04:54I just want you to go there...

04:58ThatďRAG типа

05:01It's appealing for us.

05:02As a lot of people looking at the Transcription program,

05:04it seems like a lot of people.

05:06Did you ever expect fall in my mind or tickling clothes?

05:07Or an off- epidural virtue...
