00:00.
00:00.
00:00.
00:00.
00:01.
00:01.
00:09.
00:30.
00:31.
00:32In a world dominated by speed and men, she drifts her own day.
00:38Yan ang pinatutunayan ni Ashley Sison, isang Filipina lady drifter,
00:42na patuloy na binabasag ang mga limitasyon sa isang larangang karaniwang pinangungunahan ng mga lalaki.
00:48Bilang kauna-unahang female Asian na sumabak sa UAE Drifting Competition, ipinapakita niya na ang lakas, galing at tapang ng
00:57isang Filipina.
01:25Good morning and welcome to Rise and Shine, Filipinas.
01:28Good morning. Ang ganda naman ni Ms. Ashley. Akala ko kanina sa photos niya parang model-model lang pero siya
01:35pala mismo yun ang talagang...
01:36Yeah, look, girly girl, so pretty, pero itong sport niya, di ba?
01:41Exactly. Kailan ka ba nagsimula sa drifting? And ano ba yung moment na nagpasabi sa'yo or naramdaman mo na,
01:48ah, this is what I want to pursue?
01:51Actually, nag-start na po ako ng late. So, I started when I was in college. Nakakatuwa kasi nung time
01:57na yun, sumama ko sa father ko sa racetrack.
02:01Tapos nakita ko nagtuturo siya ng drifting. And then, dun ako parang na paisap na bakit hindi ko try?
02:08Lahat nung means, eto na nasa harap ko. Father ko can be my coach. And siya din yung isa sa
02:16pioneers ng drifting dito sa Philippines.
02:19So, nung time na yun, sinabi ko sa kanya, dad, parang gusto kong try. And then, he said yes. Tapos,
02:27dun ko na...
02:30...feel. Adha. Noon, gumawa na kami ng mga shows, nag-compete na, and then right now, I also teach drifting.
02:39Wow!
02:39Dari paturo na tayo kung gusto ko. Interested ako dyan.
02:42Fox! Parang, di ba parang may kailangan dapat yung leeg matibay?
02:48May ganun ba?
02:49May mga physical trainings din na kailangan kasi kailangan mong maging aggressive and ano eh. Kailangan, kumbaga, physically fit ka
02:57like sa F1.
02:58So, talagang may mga motorsport na nare-require yan.
03:01Yeah. So, iba talaga yung support. Nabanggit mo nga kanina yung support ng dad mo.
03:05Yes.
03:06Nakuha na yan sa dad niya, syempre. Exposed siya doon, bata pa lang siya. So, automatic, parang gusto ko yan.
03:11Buti pumayag yung dad mo.
03:12Kasi binira yung... Syempre, mapayagan mo yung daughter mo. Di ba? Mag-ganito.
03:17So, it's a big thing.
03:19Yung sports na parang, ha? Talaga ba? Sure ka. Hindi naman siya na pa ganun.
03:22Actually, sabi niya nga sa amin, late na ni Reveal, sabi niya,
03:27I've been waiting for you to say this.
03:30Kumbaga, hindi kasi siya yung type na father na ipupushe kung ano yung ginagawa.
03:34Parang, kumbaga, he has been waiting.
03:36And nung sinabi namin yun, parang dun siya lalo na buhayan and natuwa.
03:42Kasi finally, parang sabi niya, it really runs in the blood.
03:45Kasi kala niya wala na. Kasi at that time, sobrang kikay ko eh.
03:49Yun lang, alam kong gawin. Kikay and school. Ganun lang.
03:54So, are you the only child?
03:56Six ko kami.
03:57Ano kayo? And then yung iba, ikaw lang yung nag-drift.
04:00Actually, recently, nag-join na rin yung youngest namin, yung sister ko.
04:04Wow.
04:05Yeah, brothers.
04:06Meron po.
04:07Pero kami talaga yung...
04:09Pero sa girls, yung girls mo talaga yung may gusto namin nga.
04:11New sports na to, ah.
04:12Grabe.
04:13Sa journey mo naman sa drifting, ano yung masasabi na mo na pinakamalaking challenge?
04:19Nung time na nag-start ako, hindi ako marunong mag-manual.
04:22And then, yes.
04:24It's every girl's problem.
04:25Manual transmission.
04:27Parang, hindi ko nga alam ano pumasok sa isip ko na na,
04:30ba't gusto kong mag-drift?
04:31Pero hindi ako marunong mag-drive ng manual.
04:33And then, nung nagtitraining na ako,
04:37yung pressure kasi, number one,
04:40anak ka nung pioneer,
04:42anak ka nung pro-drifter.
04:44Tapos, kasama mo, puro lalaki.
04:46So, kailangan magaling din ako parang ganun.
04:48Kumbaga, kinukumpit ko na yung sarili ko agad na wala pa naman.
04:53So, yun yung mga challenges before.
04:56Yes, yung pressure talaga.
04:57At saka yung mindset.
04:59Kasi yung drifting, it's an expression eh.
05:02So, with zero background sa sasakyan,
05:05paano ko gagawin lahat to?
05:06Paano ko pag-aaralan?
05:07Yung pag-drift, di ba?
05:09Tinataas mo yung handbrake, di ba?
05:10Yes, o.
05:11Yung na nagpapaslide sa...
05:12Yung napapanood ko lang.
05:13Ako, curious lang ako.
05:14Ano yung may moment ba na natakot ka?
05:17Or meron bang nangyari?
05:19Na accident?
05:20Oh, ever.
05:21Madaming times.
05:22Until now, natatakot.
05:23Nakakatakot.
05:24It's scary.
05:25Kasi iba-iba yung approach na eh.
05:27Okay.
05:27And nung nag-start ako mag-training,
05:29kasi wala pa yung R33 kung saan kami nagtitraining ngayon.
05:34M1's...
05:35Yes, si T31.
05:37Yeah, Raymond Rancielio.
05:38Doon po kami nagtitraining ngayon.
05:40It recently opened nung ano lang after pandemic.
05:43Pero nung nag-start ako,
05:45sa racetrack talaga ako nagtitraining.
05:47And I would go out of the track,
05:49babanga ako sa mga gulong,
05:51lalabas ako sa sandra,
05:53mga ganung experience.
05:55Pero hindi naman masakit.
05:56Wala ka namang injury.
05:57Hindi naman.
05:57As of now,
05:58walang fatality na record ang drifting.
06:01Okay, that's great.
06:02Buti naman.
06:03Hindi naman kasi to racing eh.
06:04Papaikutin mo yung car.
06:06O, rin.
06:08May mga tunog-tunog pa na marininig.
06:10Pero kapag ano ba,
06:11kapag kunyari pag ginagawa mo yun,
06:14tapos yung nangyayari yung mga ganung incidents,
06:16like yung mapapalabas ka,
06:18ano yung nasa isip mo?
06:19And how do you move on from it?
06:21Well, yung speed kasi,
06:23as I said a while ago,
06:25addictive siya eh.
06:26Pag natikman mo,
06:27parang yung mga instances na ganun,
06:29hindi na may iwasan kasi may mga mistakes.
06:31And that's where you learn from it.
06:33Kaya,
06:34kumbaga,
06:35ako,
06:35sa mga trainings,
06:37until now,
06:38yung first run,
06:39hindi pa perfect.
06:40May incident na
06:43mag-out of the track ka,
06:45malalagpasan mo yung line,
06:47kung saan lang dapat.
06:48It's scary,
06:49kasi dahil may speed,
06:51tapos biglang liliku mo,
06:54tapos biglang tatapon niya sa sakyan,
06:56ganun.
06:56Pero,
06:57ano,
06:59siguro as a racer,
07:00parang ano na yun,
07:02expected mo na,
07:03pero,
07:04yung laks ng loob talaga,
07:06yung ano dyan eh,
07:07sukli dyan eh.
07:08So,
07:08how often do you train?
07:10How much should a drifter train?
07:11Every week.
07:13May mga drifters po na,
07:15yan,
07:15pag may mga chance,
07:16every week,
07:17kasi kailangan talaga ng seat time.
07:19Weekly talaga.
07:20Yes,
07:20weekly.
07:21Pero kami,
07:21we usually prepare two weeks,
07:24or a week before the competition.
07:25How long yun?
07:26Like,
07:26ilang oras?
07:27Whole day ba to?
07:28Yes,
07:28whole day na yun,
07:29magdamag.
07:29Kasi parang masulit yung time mo,
07:31kasi...
07:31Malayo din kasi yung facility.
07:33Yes.
07:33It's not in Metro Manila.
07:35Meron before,
07:36nabanggit mo kanina,
07:37pero sinaranay yung mga nandito eh.
07:40So,
07:40talagang dinadayo pa.
07:42And we heard ikaw,
07:43ang kauna-unaang Asian female
07:45na sumabag sa isang male-dominated
07:47drifting competition sa UAE.
07:50Wow.
07:50How does it feel to represent your country?
07:54Yung competition na yun,
07:55kasi sa UAE and Oman,
07:57it's a very big stage.
07:59So,

08:02ng competition sa buong mundo.
08:04And being able to represent the flag,
08:06the Philippines,
08:07ang daming nagulat kasi,
08:09oh, may mga drifters pala
08:10from the Philippines.
08:11So,

08:13Proud moment yun for us.
08:14Kasi,
