00:01Matapos ang makasaysayang tagumpay ng Pilipinas sa mga iSports,
00:07sa nakaraang Southeast Asian Games,
00:10tinitignan ng Philippine Sports Commission
00:12ang pagdagdag ng mga skating rinks sa bansa
00:15upang mas mapalawak pa ang pagunlad ng iSports.
00:18Ang detalya alamin sa ulat ni teammate JB Kunio.
00:26Matapos makapag-uwi ng isang gintong medalya,
00:29tatlong silver at apat na bronze sa 33rd Southeast Asian Games sa Thailand,
00:34lalong tumaas ang tiwala ng mga sports officials
00:37na may malaking potensyal ang Pilipinas sa larangan ng iSports.
00:40Nakamit ng Pilipinas ang ginto sa short track speed skating
00:44habang nakapagdagdag din ng mga medalya sa figure skating,
00:47ice hockey at melee events,
00:49isang hindi inaasahang tagumpay para sa isang tropical country.
00:53Ayon kay Philippine Sports Commission Chairperson Patrick Patogregorio,
00:57ang nasabing tagumpay ay patunay na may kinabukasan ng iSports sa bansa.
01:02It's really a pleasant surprise, no?
01:05To see the Philippines and the national team winning medals in a sport or sports
01:11na talaga namang parang hindi pang tropical country.
01:17But that is the beauty of sports, di ba?
01:20Wala namang ano yan eh, territory.
01:24If you like the sport, build it, then young people will play the sport and they'll start winning.
01:31Sa ugnay nito, naniniwala si Pato na mahalaga ang pagdagdag ng mga pasilidad
01:37para mas mapalawak ang training at paglahok ng mga Pilipinong atleta sa iSports.
01:42Sa kasalukuyan, may tatlong skating rink lamang sa buong bansa,
01:47dalawa sa Metro Manila at isa sa Cebu.
01:50Malayong malayo sa mga karatig bansa tulad ng Thailand na may mahigit sa isang dosenang pasilidad.
01:56In Thailand, they're very good because they have 11 skating rinks, no?
02:02If you call it that way, 11. And we have three.
02:05That's why I was talking to Chairman Nan.
02:08He said, sir, eight more.
02:09And please visit Rizal Memorial and I'll show you how we are transforming it
02:14in preparation for the new horizon.
02:17And he said he will.
02:19And I think it's a great opportunity for the SM group with Chairman Hans and family
02:25to really support Philippine sports because it feels good.
02:31Everybody's happy.
02:32Filipinos are happy.
02:34And then, really, it's for the kids, for the young athletes.
02:40Inahayad naman ang Philippines Skating Union President Nikki Cheng
02:43na supportado ng Philippines Skating Union ang plano ng PSC
02:47na palawakin at dagdaga ng ice skating rinks sa bansa.
02:51More venues for us would really mean so much because if we see the long-term growth of the sport,
02:58we cannot really grow if we are only three venues and only Metro Manila and Cebu
03:04throughout the entire nation.
03:06So, if SM and PSC can help us grow ice sports through its venues,
03:11it would really boost ice sports in the Philippines.
03:14Malaki rin ang paniniwala ng national coach ng figure skating na si Abraham Domdom.
03:20Anya, sa pamamagitan ng mga karagdagang pasilidad,
03:23ay mas madadagdagan din ang ice time
03:26paraan upang mas mapalakas ang skills ng mga atleta.
03:29Dahil kailangan namin talaga ng madaming ice time kasi we only have three rings.
03:38So, ang dami namin sport, dami namin athletes sharing dun sa three rings na yun
03:44and parang nag-aagawa sa ice time.
03:46So, with his statement sana, more time for our athletes to practice and hold their skills.
03:53Sa ngayon, patuloy ang paghahanda ng mga ice sports athletes
03:58para sa mga paparating na international tournaments
04:01kabilang ng Ice Hockey World Championships
04:04na gaganapin sa May 15 hanggang 31 sa Switzerland
04:08at International Skating Union Four Continents Championships
04:12sa nalalapit na January 21 hanggang 25
04:15na gaganapin sa Beijing, China.
04:17J.D. Hunyo para sa atletang Pilipino
04:20para sa Bagong Pilipinas.
