00:00Welcome to PTV Sports, we're going to be with you live via Zoom, Hazel Yam, member of the Gilas Filipinas Women.

00:13Good morning, Hazel. How are you?

00:15Good morning.

00:16Straight from down under Australia.

00:19Hello, good morning. So far, so good naman. Enjoying my stay here.

00:25Ayan. Siyempre, Hazel, ipisahan natin. Gusto namin maalaman, paano ba nagsimula muna ang karyer mo sa basketball?

00:34So, nag-start siya nung around kindergarten ako kasi yung brother ko, part siya ng high school varsity team.

00:44So, every time inaantay namin siya sa practice, nandun din kami sa practice.

00:48And then, one time, nakakita lang ako ng ball sa side, and picked it up, and then started playing with it.

00:55Tapos, eventually, I enjoyed. And then, nagpabili na ako ng sarili kong basketball.

01:00And then, eventually, ayun, napunta na sa Sala sa high school varsity team.

01:04And then, fortunately, nakuha sa Ateneo for college basketball. And ayun, nagtuloy-tuloy na.

01:12Love at first sight pala ko, please.

01:14Love at first sight. Just imagine, at three years old, very young, no?

01:16Now, before tayo pumunta sa experience mo dyan sa Australia, you've represented the Philippine flag in the international competition.

01:24Ano yung pinaka-memorable event or tournament with Team Philippines?

01:31I guess yung sa against Austria namin, we had the chance to win it sana.

01:41Game winner sana yung layup ko.

01:43Kaso, foul siya. Tapos, hindi natawag.

01:46So, we ended up losing the game.

01:48Pero, for me, parang ano siya.

01:51Wake up call na marami pang pwede i-improve.

01:56Ganyan.

01:56So, next time, when the time comes, kung yun na yung binigay ni Lord na time,

02:01makasushoot ko na yun.

02:03Parter, alam mo ba, si Hazel is one of the advocates to professionalize

02:08etong women's basketball, if I'm not mistaken, Hazel, di ba?

02:12So, do you think, at this point, eh, nandun na tayo?

02:15Uh, we're getting there kasi, um, meron na tayong WMPBL, which is gonna turn pro na this, uh, this year.

02:27So, yeah, we're getting there slowly.

02:30Pero, andyan na yung, andito na yung start.

02:34Yeah, you've been an athlete sa basketball, which is a male-dominated sport.

02:40Ngayon, uh, what do you think of the progress na unti-unti na nga itong nakikilala

02:45at soon magiging pro na nga, the first pro basketball for women's,

02:50hindi lang sa Pilipinas, but in Asia?

02:54Mm-hmm.

02:54So, malayo na yung narating natin, no?

02:57Kasi before, nung, um, nung elementary ako, sumasali ako sa basketball clinic.

03:02Siguro, one or two girls lang kami dun sa basketball clinics.

03:06Pero, ngayon, meron ng basketball clinics specially made for women or for girls.

03:11And then, ayun nga, meron pa tayong pro league.

03:13So, malaking progress na talaga.

03:16Hazel, you've been very, uh, successful or representing Team Philippines.

03:22Ano naman yung nag-motivate sa'yo to take your talents dito nga sa Australia

03:26and join the Goldfields Giants this season?

03:30Um, yung pinaka nag-motivate sa'kin is para mapakita sa world

03:34kung paano maglaro ang isang Filipina.

03:37So, yun.

03:38I want to show the world and open the eyes of the world na

03:41we Filipinas can play basketball.

03:44Okay, nabanggit mo na nga as a Pinay athlete playing this sport.

03:49How is this different compared to, you know, other countries?

03:52Kasi sa iba, di ba, sa ibang bansa, NBA, matagal na silang merong women's basketball.

03:56Ano ba ang merong, uh, Pilipinang basketballista?

03:59Um, I can show them na kahit hindi tayo ganun ka-blessed sa height,

04:06we have a big heart.

04:07So, kahit ganun, laban lang palagi.

04:10Do you think, ano, Hazel, yung experience mo sa Ateneo

04:14and, of course, dito sa Gilas,

04:16um, ano yung contribution nito?

04:18Ang nakikita mo dito sa paglalaro mo sa Australia?

04:21Um, siyempre, isang malaking factor is yung, ano, no, yung experience.

04:28So, I've been playing 5-on-5 dun sa Ateneo

04:33and five years din yun.

04:36So, lahat ng natutunan ko against other, um, high-caliber players,

04:40um, dinadala ko lang rin dito sa Australia.

04:45Also, Hazel, no, nag-laro ka din sa 3x3.

04:49Tama ba?

04:50And, uh, malaking pagkakaiba ang 5-on-5, a 3x3.

04:54Pero, how will you be able to utilize at, uh, you know,

04:58magamit yung experience mo from that 3x3 to 5-on-5?

05:03Um, unang-una is, yun nga, we're undersized.

05:07So, sa 3x3, ganun din.

05:09And, I've learned na hindi pwede na mag-rely sa athleticism.

05:15So, kailangan mag-read, mag-read, babasahin mo rin yung defense,

05:18which is, nadala ko rin sa 5-on-5.

05:22So, yung experience against playing bigger players

05:24is malaking tulong sa akin pagdating ko dito sa Australia.

05:28Parter, I'm just very curious, though, with Hazel.

05:32Paano ka nakapag-adjust na with your new team dito sa Goldfields Giants?

05:36Um, how different is it dito sa iyong team dito sa Philippines?

05:40Um, nakapag-adjust naman ako nicely kasi alam mo,

05:45sobrang friendly nila dito.

05:47So, um, nung unang practice pa lang, nakapag-adjust naman na ako.

05:51And then, the difference lang is,

05:54sa Philippines kasi, everyday yung practice namin.

05:57And then, pagkadating dito, biglang twice a week lang.

06:00So, I really have to stay disciplined na yung mga days na wala kaming practice,

06:04kailangan, nag-weights ako, nag-e-extra ako.

06:08Ooh, that's anon, interesting to hear na mas konte yung training days nila sa Australia

06:13compared sa atin dito sa Philippines, which they train every day.

06:17Totoo, totoo. At saka may balance din kasi yun ang weights, loading,

06:21iba-iba eh, no?

06:22Gentle conditioning, psych.

06:24Meron din bang psych dito sa Australia?

06:27Sorry?

06:28Psychological, ano, body training or session or...

06:32Ah, wala naman, wala naman.

06:34Well, Hazel, ikaw ay parte ng dumadaming atleta or waves of athletes going abroad to play.

06:44I mean, ano ba ang pakiramdam na, alam mo yun, nakikilala na sa ibang bansa

06:48ang talent ng Pinoy pagdating din sa sport na basketball?

06:53Siyempre, very good feeling siya, no?

06:56Kasi, um, nags-step up na ang Filipinas, hindi lang sa basketball,

07:00pati sa tennis, katulad ni Alex Ayala.

07:03So, it's a very good feeling na unti-unti yung Filipinas is being recognized na as athletes.

07:10Hmm. Hazel, matanong ko lang, ano ba yung future goals mo as a Filipina player dyan sa gold fields?

07:17Uh, future goal ko is, syempre, mag-perform well dito para makita pa ng ibang teams

07:24and mag-start sila, mag-recruit pa ng other Filipina players para makakagawa ng opportunity for us.

07:31Ano mo, ang, Ms. Meg, ang nakita ko in the last WMPB, alam, marami silang teams,

07:38pero pagdating sa skillset at syaka yung galawan ng mga basketball players,

07:43sobrang different na yung fluidity, yung pagiging smooth, diba?

07:48And then, nakakatuwa dahil, dati kasi pag nakita ka ng babae na basketball player,

07:53makikita mo na medyo pag-girl pa yung galawan.

07:55Ngayon, talagang kaya nilang makipagsabayan. Physicality na dyan din.

07:59Totoo. Pero Hazel, well, meron ka bang message sa lahat ng mga, you know,

08:05batang babae na interesado mag-basketball?

08:09At kung may gusto kang pasalamatan, pwede mo na silang i-shout out.

08:13Um, ayun, um, to all the aspiring Filipina ballers,

08:17um, never stop working hard kahit walang nakakakita, work hard lang kayo

08:21kasi eventually it's gonna translate to your game.

08:24Um, so, ayun, keep working hard kasi meron na tayong future sa basketball.

08:29And then, shout out lang sa mom ko, sa family ko, and kay Coach Chris.

08:35Ayan, Coach Chris, bautista ba to?

08:39Yes.

08:40Aba, iba, iba.

08:42Pinsan-san natin na hindi na si Coach Chris.

08:44Mayroon pa siyang wheelchair basketball.

08:45Suki na natin si Coach Chris dito.

08:47Pero Hazel, congratulations sa'yo and good luck sa iyong career dyan sa Australia.

08:52At syempre, aabangan namin ang iyong mga laro.

08:56Ayan, narami salamat.

08:58Thank you, Hazel. See you soon.

09:00Thank you. Thank you very much.
