00:01A Las Pilipinas secures a historic first as it captures the Women's Beach Volleyball Gold Medal in the Southeast Asian Games.
00:07The team, composed of Cici Rondina, Bernadette Pons, Dej Rodriguez, and Sunny Villapando, sweeps defending champion Thailand for the title.
00:16Thailand has won all eight of the previous Women's Beach Volleyball crowns since 2003.
00:20While the Philippines reached the Women's Beach Volleyball Final for the first time, getting the gold medal had still looked like a long shot.
00:26This, after the team absorbed its only loss of the preliminary round to Thailand, but the quartet defied the expectations and stunned the Thais in their own turf.
00:34Sabi ko nga, magiging consistent lang kami.
00:38Podium, ganjan lang.
00:40So, ayun, I think consistency lang din talaga yung napakita namin.
00:44Kaya kami nakapag-gold.
00:45Matagal na namin pinangarap talaga na makapag-gold kami.
00:50And finally, sinagot si Lord yung makapag-gold na namin.
00:54We came out and we executed it.
00:57We did what we said we were going to do six months ago.
00:59So, I'm so proud of all of us for fighting.
