00:00 The Philippine team is ready to fight for more than a week before the Asian Games.
00:05 The Philippine Olympic Committee President Bambol Tolentino's support is complete
00:10 for the 400 athletes who will be sent to the competition.
00:14 As the group B athletes, they will fight for the country even if they have to pay for it.
00:21 Tolentino believes that the country will be able to win the four gold medals it won in 2018.
00:28 "The Asian Games is a big event.
00:30 We just need to win the last four years and more.
00:36 It's a very, very big achievement for us."
00:41 Olympic gold medalist Haidylin Diaz and world number two Paul Volter E.J. Obiena are the only ones who are expected to win gold.
00:51 But according to Tolentino, the athletes in boxing, swimming, martial arts and e-sports can also win gold.
00:59 Gymnast Carlos Yulo will not be fighting in the Asian Games
01:03 because it is a World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, a qualifier for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
01:11 The POC is still waiting for the results of this qualifier for the players to change to basketball, gymnastics, golf, fencing and football.
01:21 "That's why we are praying that they will be allowed to participate."
01:26 "Football has a chance because it's in their playbook.
01:30 Six days before the first game, they can replace. All the rest, nothing like that."
01:37 The results will be known at the POC's meeting on September 17.
01:42 The Philippines needs to add more players because some of them can't play anymore.
01:49 Only a few players from the FIBA World Cup squad are on the men's team.
01:54 This is the first time the women's team will play in Asia from 1998.
02:00 "It's a big event because our opponents there are Jordan and Iran.
02:05 We didn't manage to bracket Iran in the last World Cup.
02:09 Korea didn't participate in the World Cup so we don't know their Aces.
02:18 Japan automatically qualified for the Olympics so definitely the team is strong.
02:25 We don't know China if they will be sending Team A."
02:29 There will be a send-off for the athletes in Malacanang on Monday before they leave on Tuesday.
02:35 "We're excited to be in Hangzhou even though there will be some issues that won't affect our relationship
02:48 because sports unify people."
02:53 Asian Games will be held from September 23 to October 8 in Guangzhou, China.
