00:00ABAP Women's Boxing Team coach Reynaldo Galido is sharing the updates on their competition and their preparations for this year's competition.
00:10For more details, here is the report of my teammate and his side, Paolo Salomatin.
00:17The Association of Boxing Alliances in the Philippines, in particular the Women's Boxing Team, has no time to waste for the upcoming competitions of this year.
00:27This is after their successful campaign last year, in which their performance highlighted the two bronze medals in the Paris Olympics,
00:37which came from the two Filipino boxers, Nesty Petesio and Ira Villegas.
00:41In a recent interview of Radyo Pilipinas 2 with ABAP Women's Boxing Team coach Reynaldo Galido,
00:46it is more difficult for the boxers to go through this year, and in the coming years,
00:51now the two Filipino Olympians want to step into the Olympics again.
00:56As far as I can see now, especially Ira, she's a force to be reckoned with.
01:03I talked to Nesty, and I told her that she's a one-shot for the Olympics in LA.
01:13I told her that we don't need to do that.
01:16We can't just stand still. We still need to be committed.
01:22Even if we play in the Paris Olympics, we still need to be committed to our training.
01:28It's really crucial, especially for people like us who are focused on vaccines and gymnastics.
01:38Galido also said that they are just waiting for the detailed service order of their soldier athletes
01:44and the boxing Olympians in Sina Villegas and Petesio,
01:48so that they can join the training pool that is preparing for the big competitions this year.
01:53As you know, in the military, if you don't have a DS, you won't be able to train.
01:59That's why the DS is still waiting.
02:01It's a good thing for Ira that she was given a NIPI.
02:03If you don't have a NIPI, you'll be caught by the storm.
02:07That's why it's really important for our training.
02:12I hope that our athletes will be disordered so that they can focus on their training.
02:20We have a lot of competitions that we are preparing for.
02:26We have almost all the months.
02:30We also have August.
02:32So we are really busy.
02:35Meanwhile, two Filipino boxers were added to their grassroots program
02:40that is expected to give pride to the country one day.
