00:00One of the role-players of Mapuha Cardinals who did an excellent job today is here beside me.

00:05Congratulations again, John.

00:07We're here together again for the interview.

00:09John, I just want to mention your numbers for today's match.

00:12You had 8 points and 6 rebounds.

00:14But aside from that, what I want to highlight is your 0 turnovers.

00:17How did you execute such a clean performance today?

00:21Maybe it's just that I was careful with the ball.

00:24Because we know that when we turn over, they'll run.

00:29So we just have to be careful with the ball.

00:31Speaking of your turnovers, John,

00:33you were able to yield in Round 2.

00:35You only had 5 turnovers.

00:37But for this game, your team made more errors.

00:41Where do you think these errors came from

00:43so that you won't repeat them coming into the Round 2?

00:45Maybe it's because of our pressure, our miscommunication.

00:51We didn't follow our offensive.

00:55And their defense was good.

00:57That's why we committed to turnovers.

00:59Excuse me, this is not the Round 2.

01:01This is Game 2 of the Finals.

01:03Speaking of your performance, John,

01:05Cardinals will have an advantage all throughout the game.

01:07You didn't have an advantage.

01:09Even sometimes in this game,

01:11why were your teammates so consistent today?

01:13We were just sticking to our defensive scheme.

01:19Those points were just a bonus for us.

01:23Our coaches told us

01:27that our main weapon here is our defense.

01:34During the Season 99 Finals Game 3 match,

01:37NCAA fans were watching

01:39here at Araneta Coliseum.

01:41John Haboneta is also one of those who cried

01:43when he lost to Mapua.

01:45How do you feel that finally

01:47you are the one contributing

01:49to the Finals of Season 100?

01:52When I watched it,

01:54I told myself that I want to play too.

01:56I want to reach this stage.

01:58The Lord blessed me

02:00that I was able to go to the line-up

02:02and join Mapua's team

02:04to reach the Finals.

02:06John, you were blessed

02:08to join Mapua's team.

02:10You also told me earlier

02:12that you came from Placer, Masbate.

02:14I don't think there are any other

02:16countrymen here in NCAA so far.

02:18How do you feel that finally

02:20your place here in NCAA is representative?

02:24Maybe this is a way

02:26for the youth

02:28to be inspired

02:30to reach

02:32where I am now.

02:34Thank you very much, John.
