00:00Samantala lumahok ang ilang diambro ng Philippine Men's Rugby Team,
00:04the Volcanoes sa Manila 10's Rugby Competition.
00:07Alamin ang detalya sa ulat ni Bernadette Pinoy.
00:12Matapos sa matagumpay ng Manila 10's,
00:14tampok ang mga Filipino national athletes.
00:17Ilan sa mga lumahok ang Volcanoes members na si na Tommy Gilbert,
00:20Edlin Hernandez, at team captain na si Kai Storam.
00:24Sa panayam ng PTV Sports, sinabi ni Kai ng mga laking bagay sa kanila
00:27na may mga kompetisyon silang nasasalihan upang magsama-sama maplayers.
00:32Anyang malaking hamon ng kakulangan na ensayo sa pambansang kupunan.
00:36I think our biggest challenge with the Philippine rugby is that we are so separated.
00:43Our talent, as we know, Filipinos are all over the world.
00:46And so our talent is also all over the world.
00:48And so how can we use the resources that we have to find those pools of talent and then use
00:57them?
00:57And actually, that's a perfect way to explain what we're here today for.
01:01So today, this is the Maharlikans jersey.
01:03So the Maharlikans is our solution.
01:06What we're trying to do to help solve some of the problems that we see with Philippine rugby,
01:11where we weren't able to play together, a lot of us.
01:14So some of us would live in Australia, some of us would live in the UK,
01:17some of us would live in the Philippines.
01:20Bago ang laro, nagsagawa ng ceremonial jersey send-off ang national team,
01:24isa sa dumalawang Filipino rugby player na si Edlen Hernandez.
01:282017 na maging parte ng national squad si Edlen,
01:31at sinabi niya na malaki ng progreso ng rugby bilang sports sa bansa.
01:36I'll be honest, I think progress will really accelerate once it becomes big in the school system.
01:44I think at the educational level, there needs to be some revamping of sports education
01:49and just instilling that at a young age.
01:51I don't think it's really popular in Philippine society.
01:57Samantala, para naman kay Filipino Aussie player Tommy Gilbert,
02:01hindi malayong mas makilalang nasabing sport dahil na rin sa pagtangkilik ng Pinoy fans.
02:06There's been lots of full-blooded Filipinos that have debuted for both men's and the women's team
02:11in both 7s and 15s, so I've definitely seen it myself.
02:15Just go and try rugby.
02:17Find your local club, get in touch with the PRFU if you're looking for someone to play with.
02:22And it's a really fun sport for you to go out and meet people.
