00:00The Philippine Sepak Takraw Federation held a series of international tournaments
00:04that they plan to hold in Kabakan for the year 2025.
00:07Teammate Bernadette Tinoy has an idea on what this is all about.
00:12The Philippine Sepak Takraw Federation's career was considered successful last year.
00:17The country won various medals after competing in international tournaments.
00:23That's why in 2025, Sepak Takraw coach Emanuel Escote announced that the members of the national team will start rehearsing for their upcoming tournaments.
00:34We have an Asian Cup in Malaysia.
00:38In July, we have a World Championship in Thailand.
00:41In December, we will be participating in the Southeast Asian Games in Thailand as well.
00:47John Larry Rafael and Vince Torno, both members of the Sepak Takraw team, admitted that
00:53Sepak Takraw is not an easy sport, that's why they need to rehearse hard
00:58in order to keep the country's leadership in international competitions.
01:03It's really hard to play Sepak Takraw, especially when you don't have the knowledge.
01:09Your skills are really zero.
01:12After a while, you will get used to it and you will be able to master the skills that you need.
01:18It's really hard to play Sepak because there are a lot of acrobatics.
01:24So, just look at how strong it is here in the Philippines.
01:31It's really strong.
01:32Meanwhile, the agency continued to strengthen the grassroots development program
01:38in order to give opportunities to young people to try the aforementioned sports.
