00:00I know that we are wearing Barong, but we are not very formal here.

00:05That's why I wore my uniform to show off.

00:09This is what you gave me when I sent off to you.

00:13And wow, I never thought how proud I would be to wear it again.

00:19Because of the brilliant performance of our athletes.

00:25Let me greet the Philippine Olympic Committee President, Abraham Tolentino.

00:34PSC Chairman, Richard Bachman.

00:37Our supporters and friends who we could not do without in the private sector.

00:44Fellow workers in government.

00:46Of course, the First Lady, Luis Araneta Marcos.

00:55And of course, the most important group.

01:00The most important group of our athletes.

01:06Who were invited to the Olympics.

01:09And came back with very good results.

01:16That is what we are commemorating and celebrating a little bit now.

01:23Ladies and gentlemen, good evening to all of you.

01:27First of all, to our athletes, to your families.

01:33Welcome to Palacio.

01:35And the honor is mine.

01:38The honor is ours to be able to welcome you, such achievers.

01:45You have made the name of the Philippines more beautiful.

01:55And we are thankful to all of you.

02:00Because aside from the medal, but of course, Kaloy, your performance was just...

02:07It deserved two gold medals.

02:10And that's how high a standard that we have reached.

02:14But we can see that maybe all of us here are praying for you.

02:25And just one thing, I will complain to all of you.

02:29I have been begging for two weeks.

02:32To watch all kinds of events.

02:37But my begging is really worth it.

02:40Because it's really nice to watch you.

02:43And to see you.

02:44And your performance was the fruit of the years of sacrifice.

02:51Of yourself, of your coaches, trainers, nutritionists.

02:58And especially of your families.

03:00And we know that there is no athlete who cannot win, who is not supported by the fear of many people.

03:10Who doesn't think about how to help you to be successful.

03:14And this is what we are recognizing now.

03:17And it's very important.

03:19And now, it is now in the international stage.

03:23And so, we can see that again, the Philippines is famous.

03:30You are making the Philippines famous all over the world.

03:33I know that you are thinking about gymnastics, boxing, pole vault.

03:43That's what you are thinking about, your event.

03:46But your performance has a big meaning.

03:51It means a lot.

03:52It has a big meaning for us here who are watching you.

03:57Who are shouting and supporting you.

04:00And that's why it was for me, I think we should recognize.

04:05Not only the athletes, although they are, of course, deserving of recognition.

04:11But also all the support group.

04:13Over the years, this did not happen because last year you decided to do sports.

04:22This has been going on for a long time.

04:24You go through injury.

04:26You can't travel.

04:29There is no fee to travel.

04:31To go abroad.

04:32To go to the international competitions.

04:34All of these aspects.

04:37And yet, you come through.

04:40And yet, you have shown the spirit of the Filipino.

04:46The determination of a Filipino.

04:48And the excellence of the Filipino spirit.

04:51And that's what you have shown for us today.

04:53And for that, I was thinking earlier.

04:58I was thinking when this happened.

05:00What can we do to help our athletes?

05:05To help them.

05:09While I was watching the news, I said,

05:13Caloy is rich.

05:15He's giving a lot of money.

05:17I said, let's think about it.

05:20Let's give this.

05:22There are already two.

05:25I said, how can we do this?

05:28I said, I thought that what we should do is really recognize all the athletes.

05:36Number one.

05:37All the athletes.

05:39I think any athlete.

05:42Any athlete.

05:45Here in the Philippines.

05:48To qualify in the Olympics.

05:51That's heavy.

05:53That is an extremely difficult achievement to have managed.

05:57So, that's why.

05:59Chairman Alciang is here.

06:02He has a lot of money.

06:04So, let's give all our athletes.

06:07As long as they qualify in the Olympics.

06:09Let's give them 1 million.

06:11Right?

06:12Coaching staff.

06:13We will also give half a million to them.

06:24I will take a deep breath.

06:26Because it's just a small amount.

06:28And I know that 1 million pesos.

06:32For example.

06:33Compare it to your sacrifice.

06:39Compare it to your experience.

06:42Compare it.

06:44It's just a small amount.

06:46But for now, this is what we will do.

06:48Now, as I said.

06:50We have been given a lot of material things.

06:54What I would like to now do.

06:56Is to ask our athletes.

06:59Our coaches.

07:01All our sports organizations.

07:05Instead of giving cash.

07:08Well, if you need more cash.

07:09We will find some more.

07:11But I think more importantly.

07:14I want to be part of the development of sports in the Philippines.

07:20Let's leave it.

07:22If you can consider.

07:28If you can consider.

07:30That all of these athletes.

07:32Who have done so well.

07:34And have made us so proud.

07:36There is no official technical support from the government.

07:40They did it on their own.

07:42Of course, there is help.

07:44Sometimes the government can help.

07:46But there is no formal structure.

07:49To help our athletes.

07:51And that's what we are going to establish now.

07:54So, I ask all of you.

07:56To tell us.

07:58What is it that you need?

08:00Where did you have a hard time in training our athletes?

08:05What is it that you can't do?

08:07That we can help?

08:08You tell us.

08:10And hopefully.

08:12If we really work together.

08:14And start to prepare.

08:16For not only the Olympics.

08:17Of course, that's a very important one.

08:19But not only the Olympics.

08:21We start to prepare for all the international competitions that we have.

08:25That are before us.

08:27And I'm sure.

08:29That we will meet again here in Palacio.

08:33I will congratulate you again.

08:36And we will ask for money for training again.
