00:02Mga kapuso, tagumpay na inasinta ng isang Pinoy teen archer ang kanyang mga ultimate goal.
00:08Rank 1 na siya sa Women's Recurve Archery at may bagong national record.
00:13Next target niyang maigitan niyan sa tulong ng Olympic-level South Korean coaches.
00:19Tinutukan niya ni Martin Avier na palagi in the game!
00:28Sa nagdaang Philippine National Archery Championship Qualifiers nitong Abril,
00:35nasa 450 archers mula sa iba't ibang panig ng bansa ang nagpasiklaban.
00:42Pero umangat ang 17-year-old na si Juliana Verniz Garcia, or NICE for short.
00:49Ang rising archery star, isang recurve specialist mula Pasig City.
00:54Siya ang overall rank 1 sa Women's Recurve Archery sa bansa matapos ang tatlong qualifying rounds.
01:02Nagset pa siya ng panibagong national record, scoring 662 points in 72 arrows.
01:09With 20 points, binasag niya ang dating record na itinala ng Olympian na si Abby Bidaure noong 2024.
01:17It was quite surprising because I just came from SEA Games, so I had a lot of schoolwork.
01:23I just want to make it top 3 to hopefully hit national team.
01:27But in doing so, I was able to break it.
01:30Walong taon si NICE nang ma-inspire subukan ang archery dahil sa kanyang kuya.
01:35When I was 9, when I hit my first internationals in Macau,
01:39I got second place and I was like, maybe I should keep trying this sport.
01:44At noong Desyembre, kabilang na siya sa national team na lumaban sa SEA Games.
01:49Olympics, is that in your radar?
01:53I think it is.
01:54Bilang paghahanda sa LA 2028 Olympics.
01:58Dalawang world-class Olympic South Korean coaches ang pinasok para mag-train sa national team.
02:04Malaking bagay dahil kilala ang South Korea bilang powerhouse pagdating sa archery.
02:10Kabilang dyan si Coach Ryusu Jeng.
02:12Sa ilalim ng kanyang coaching, nakapag-uwi ang South Korea ng dalawang gold medal noong Rio 2016 Olympics
02:20at tatlong gold medals sa Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
02:25Sabi ni Coach Ryusu,
02:32Nakita niya ang malaking potensyal at passion ng Philippine archery team.
02:36Gusto raw niyang itaas ang ang-antaas ng Filipino archers sa world level.
02:42She gives us more motivation to train.
02:44She makes us work harder and we've worked hard like never before.
02:48Because of her, I was able to score like 20 points higher.
02:55The one and only rule in safety here in archery,
03:00if somebody's there outside, do not execute.
03:05Okay, because you might hit them.
03:07Let's get our bows.
03:08This is your bow.
03:09This is my bow.
03:09You're right.
03:10Love it.
03:11Raise it up.
03:13And the dopey scarred brings the string to your face.
03:16One, two, three.
03:31We hit the target right on the money.
03:34Bullseye.
03:35First time.
03:36Kala mo layo, pero this is a big achievement for today.
03:40Let's go.
03:41There you have it, mga kapuso.
03:43So today, we got to meet our rising star in Philippine archery.
03:47So this has been Morty Navier.
03:49And Ice Garcia.
03:51Keeping you...
03:55in the game.
