00:00 So now, we're supporting each other.
00:02 Okay?
00:03 So this is a different theme now, right, my friends?
00:06 Right?
00:07 I have nothing to hide.
00:09 This is our success in the Asian Games.
00:19 This is what people want.
00:22 It's very simple what the Gila fans want.
00:25 Right?
00:27 That's what we're winning.
00:29 And if ever we lose,
00:32 at least we can see that our team, our players,
00:36 are fighting.
00:38 As simple as that.
00:39 No drama, no blaming, no form.
00:43 Right?
00:44 No going back and forth from the past
00:48 that became a problem.
00:50 You know, our Gilas,
00:52 this is the most expensive basketball team
00:54 of every Filipino.
00:56 Because our country is what they bring.
00:59 Right?
01:00 And it's more enjoyable to watch
01:02 the Gilas win
01:03 than the win of our club teams
01:05 because this is our country.
01:07 We know it.
01:09 We're recognized worldwide.
01:12 And for me, this is a good start.
01:15 If you can remember,
01:16 a few weeks back, I said
01:18 that the last way for us to improve
01:20 the Gilas is Al Francis Chua.
01:22 And I think he is proving us all right.
01:25 From how he formed the team,
01:27 from how he managed our team,
01:30 from how he pampered the players,
01:33 that's what class A is all about.
01:36 Right?
01:36 A1.
01:37 The way they support each other.
01:39 To the point that the players reciprocate
01:42 by giving their all
01:43 in every game we play.
01:45 But that's just it, my friends.
01:47 Let's not have high expectations
01:52 for San Miguel
01:54 and for Gilas
01:56 because if we're going to win,
01:57 they're just starting.
02:00 Right?
02:01 They were able to plug the hole
02:03 after the Asian Games
02:04 and they were able to win the gold
02:06 that we haven't been able to do in 61 years.
02:10 Right?
02:11 And that's a good start.
02:12 Right?
02:13 But this is what I'm warning you.
02:15 There are still many challenges,
02:17 there are still many problems
02:20 that Gilas is facing
02:21 with SMC and hopefully with MVP
02:24 in the near future.
02:25 My only wish is
02:27 since SMC is still new
02:29 in this world,
02:30 in world basketball,
02:32 I hope they learn
02:34 from their mistakes.
02:37 And right now,
02:38 those people,
02:40 Gilas,
02:41 the SBP,
02:43 SMC,
02:43 and MVP groups
02:45 need our support.
02:47 So now,
02:48 let's support each other.
02:50 Okay?
02:51 So this is my theme for today,
02:53 my friends.
02:54 Right?
02:55 I don't have anything to say.
02:57 You know,
02:57 one of the biggest problems,
03:00 that's why Gilas is successful today,
03:03 is the
03:04 serious
03:06 and corporate approach
03:07 of Al Francis Chua
03:09 in forming the team.
03:10 And of course,
03:10 we will not leave it.
03:11 The way he gives credit
03:13 to Al Panlilio
03:15 because he gave his all.
03:16 Right?
03:17 It's hard to do that.
03:18 You know,
03:19 the team was mortal before,
03:20 the company was mortal before,
03:22 in the bidding,
03:22 in the NLEX,
03:23 in the SLX,
03:24 right?
03:25 Then he gave his all.
03:27 Did you see Al Panlilio
03:29 asking for attention,
03:31 asking for credit?
03:32 No, right?
03:34 That's why I'm sad for others
03:36 that Al Panlilio is still working,
03:38 he stepped aside.
03:39 What I see here
03:41 among the SUSYs
03:42 is the right approach.
03:44 The straight,
03:45 the one that doesn't go around,
03:46 doesn't go around.
03:48 And that's what Al Chua does.
03:50 No time player!
03:50 Okay, let's see 37.
03:52 Let's see who can do it here.
03:53 Two imports are allowed.
03:55 Two naturalis play are allowed.
03:56 Let's use it.
03:58 Right?
03:58 That's how it should be.
04:00 No time player.
04:01 And one good thing about Al Francis Chua
04:05 is that if the SBP has a budget,
04:06 he doesn't care.
04:08 Right?
04:09 Because he will earn that
04:11 from his salary
04:12 and from his work
04:14 in San Miguel.
04:15 Right?
04:16 And what's good about Al Francis Chua,
04:18 results matter.
04:21 Because if he is not careful,
04:22 the results of the RSA
04:26 and those above him
04:28 will be humiliated
04:29 and his name will be ruined.
04:31 That is the advantage
04:33 of an Al Francis Chua.
04:36 He is not a petting guy,
04:38 he is not a relaxed guy,
04:39 he is not a lazy guy.
04:43 But Al Francis Chua,
04:44 if he should do it now,
04:45 let's do it.
04:47 That is his difference
04:48 from those who used to sit.
04:50 Not the president,
04:51 but those below him.
04:52 I'm just clarifying.
04:53 Mr. Panlilio is already gulping.
04:55 Those who used to sit
04:57 in the line,
04:59 they are not paying attention to that.
05:02 We need to,
05:04 this program,
05:05 this one we started in Asian Games,
05:07 I hope it will continue.
05:10 And one more thing,
05:11 I hope we will name a coach
05:13 as soon as possible
05:14 because we might be able to hold
05:16 in the next tournament
05:17 that we will join.
05:20 Don't bring back
05:21 the problems.
05:22 Let's not repeat it.
