00:00 What do you think about the team's performance?

00:04 For three games, I'm happy because they gave their best.

00:12 Although we didn't win, I saw that they have potential.

00:20 It's just that we didn't have enough long training.

00:24 Besides, their psychological effect helped a lot when they let us sponsor them.

00:34 So, with the help of PBL, thank you so much to PBL for organizing.

00:40 They really helped us.

00:42 And the kids became more composed.

00:45 They don't think about their game anymore.

00:50 They just play.

00:51 You saw that we're really close to the opponent.

00:55 But of course, our opponent is really...

00:58 For how many years have they been together compared to us?

01:03 One week?

01:04 Then, they're all gone.

01:06 Coach, what was the atmosphere of the players after the conference?

01:14 They're happy.

01:18 I thanked them because our games ended today.

01:25 I have a reminder to the players and coaches that they should treat their coaches and players as part of their family.

01:38 They shouldn't be pulling them down.

01:41 They should be pulling them up.

01:43 I saw their potential.

01:47 I told them that they have potential.

01:50 It's just that we didn't have enough training period.

01:53 And their attitudes are still unknown.

01:57 So, when we played our third game, I saw their communication.

02:03 They're coordinating and they're already responding.

02:06 Whenever we play a game, they're already responding.

02:10 Coach, how proud are you of your team?

02:15 Given the controversy that happened, how proud are you of your team to finish the conference like this?

02:22 Actually, I'm proud because I do my job as a coach.

02:27 And I do my job as part of their family.

02:31 Because we were able to help.

02:34 Our problem in the salary helped a lot.

02:39 I don't think about myself anymore.

02:42 I think about the kids.

02:44 I'm also a player.

02:46 So, if there's a problem, it's psychological that it affects them.

02:52 I'm happy that I was able to help them up to now.

02:56 I told them that if you are going to continue your passion to play volleyball,

03:03 after this one, they should continue their training.

03:07 Why?

03:08 Because there are a lot of kids who are playing.

03:10 Let's admit it, in the league of PBL, there are a lot of kids who are playing.

03:15 There are a lot of kids who want to play.

03:17 And those who played before, who graduated,

03:20 and we have workers, we have wives,

03:23 if you don't maintain yourself, they'll go down.

03:26 Those kids are the ones who went up.

03:28 We saw it.

03:30 Coach, with a new owner in the team, do you have any plans for the team?

03:38 Actually, I talked to the Marikand.

03:43 As of now, because he'll arrive by tomorrow,

03:47 as of now, PBL will handle us.

03:52 The game is over.

03:54 They told me that they'll talk to Sir Ricky Palo.

03:57 I hope that he'll continue the team

04:04 and recruit good players coming from the UAPAC

04:12 who are good and high caliber players who can offer.

04:18 Because if we don't offer, we won't be able to compete with them.

04:24 So far, they told me to stay put, Coach,

04:27 because they'll have a meeting with Sir Ricky Palo.
