00:00 Well, it's been very hard for the team.
00:02 Of course, we've been through losses after losses.
00:05 It was very hard since also Kiana has been injured.
00:08 It was hard for them to survive.
00:10 But we are very happy that again, we're back in the semifinals.
00:14 I wish we'll be better in the next game.
00:17 And I just want these girls to be healthy and enjoy the game all the time.
00:21 I'm very proud of these girls.
00:23 Of course, I'm very happy because this is our ticket for the Battle for Bronze.
00:28 And I just gave what I can give.
00:31 And I need to step up because there are people who are lacking.
00:34 But that's not the reason why I didn't fight.
00:37 I'm really proud of this team.
00:38 No one really sees all the preparations that happen behind the scenes.
00:43 From coaches to their meetings to management and to us players,
00:46 what we do on our own, how we work together.
00:48 In our gym, we produce a culture of working hard and pushing each other to be great.
00:53 And whether people are able to get on the court or not, doesn't matter.
00:57 We trust everyone who's able to make plays happen.
01:00 And as the "ate" of the team, I'm just really proud of my sisters
01:03 because they fight for each other, we fight for each other,
01:06 and we fight for our coaches too.
01:08 The most difficult motivation that coaches give you
01:11 is to do everything you can to bring out the real game.
01:15 You do that.
01:15 There's a lot of preparation we did.
01:17 Sometimes, there's not enough preparation.
01:19 And the skills, the teamwork, it's there.
01:22 The problem is sometimes, it's hard to push up your morale.
01:25 It goes for all the team.
01:27 It's just a process.
01:28 It was a journey that will make us stronger in the future.
01:31 Hopefully, we play better on the next game.
01:33 It's not good to keep losing.
01:36 And the mindset is that there's still a chance.
01:39 Why should we doubt if there's still a chance?
01:41 So that's what we're trying to do, the chance.
01:43 Being tough in tough moments, and again, we continue to push each other
01:47 and uplift each other and encourage each other.
01:49 So like Joy said, if we have the chance,
01:52 we have the choice to choose encouragement or being down.
01:54 We're always going to try to choose encouragement.
01:56 It's the same thing with any other game.
01:57 We're going to prepare.
01:58 We're going to review, we're going to learn from the opponent.
02:01 We're just going to play, just fight, right?
02:02 At the end of the day, whatever happens, you did it.
02:05 Maybe it's just part of the journey, or maybe that is the destination.
02:09 So whatever happens, we win or we learn.
02:11 That's very important for this team.
02:13 And this is part of what makes a champion.
02:15 If you don't feel this, maybe you're still lacking.
02:17 So I'm happy that we're here.
02:18 Because these struggles are going to make us stronger.
02:21 It will mold us to becoming better than what we were before.
02:24 I'm happy that we get through this.
02:26 It was very hard.
02:27 If you only know what the players and coaches went through,
02:31 everyone really struggled.
02:32 We didn't know.
02:33 We were in a moment where we were having a hard time,
02:35 we didn't know where to get the strength.
02:36 But then we just realized that our strength is everyone's.
02:40 Even if a lot of people don't believe in us,
02:42 we just have to believe in ourselves.
02:44 I'm happy that they'll see the light again.
02:46 That hope was very important for us.
02:48 It's kind of crazy.
02:50 So I got a text saying that a team in Korea wants me.
02:54 So I was very fortunate enough to be selected.
02:58 And I'm just excited and grateful.
03:00 I'm very happy and envious of Iris.
03:03 Because what a great opportunity to play for other countries.
03:06 The team, the management, the team owners are very proud of what Iris received.
03:11 Of course, we can raise the level of volleyball in the Philippines, right?
03:15 So represent us, Iris.
03:16 We believe in you.
