00:00A senior citizen who suffered a stroke seven times

00:03on the first day of the 2024 Masters International Athletics Championships.

00:08That's Bernadette Sinoy's story.

00:13At the age of 53,

00:15Tatay Romeo was the first to experience a stroke

00:18after retiring as a military officer.

00:20He's not yet at his peak

00:22because he experienced six strokes in the following years.

00:26Because of this, Tatay Romeo was encouraged by his friends

00:30to try exercising and enter the world of sports.

00:34Now that Tatay Romeo is 65 years old,

00:37he admitted that running helped him a lot in his health.

00:41I was paralyzed seven times because of a stroke.

00:45I told myself, I don't have a choice.

00:47When they saw me on Facebook,

00:49I was shaking because of body conditioning,

00:51my mind and my heart.

00:53They encouraged me.

00:54Suddenly, I didn't have a choice.

00:56They were old, but I thought they could do it, so I could do it too.

01:00So I tried, I joined.

01:02When I joined, I won against Colin, the U.S.

01:06It's not because of the stroke,

01:07it's not because of the pain,

01:09it's not because of negative things.

01:14Let's just be positive.

01:15Because if you believe in yourself, nothing is impossible.

01:19The American, Jill Chapman,

01:21tried to join the Javelin Throw event

01:23after her friend was diagnosed with it.

01:26I competed against women in their 60s, in their 70s, 75.

01:31It's just amazing to keep everyone active

01:33because we all need motion.

01:35Motion is lotion for all of our joints,

01:37especially our spinal system.

01:40Jill and Tatay Romeo are one of the hundreds of athletes

01:43and sports enthusiasts

01:45who entered the first day of the 2024

01:48Masters International Athletics Championships,

01:51where athletes in their 30s will compete

01:55and senior citizens who want to participate

01:58in various sports events.

02:00According to NAMSAP,

02:02age and gender are not a barrier

02:04for every athlete to have a chance

02:06to stand out in the field of strength.

02:10One of the goals of NAMSAP

02:12is to spread the effect of exercise

02:15throughout the Philippines.

02:19Because in other countries,

02:21people are playing for 100 plus years old.

02:23There are no grandchildren

02:28even if they are 90 plus years old, 95.

02:30You can see them running and jumping.

02:33So I hope this will also happen here in our country.
