00:00There are two other sports that were combined before Hergie Bacciada became an Olympic-bound boxer.

00:08Her story in the boxing of Ma'am Gonzales.

00:14On top of the world, Hergie Bacciada became famous last year

00:19when she became the first Pinoy world champion in martial arts in Vovinam.

00:24This is her third sport after playing in the national teams of boxing and wushu.

00:29But despite the medals, in her heart, there is something missing.

00:33Her true dream was to become a boxing olympian.

00:38I always ask myself if I'm still here.

00:42My dream is to go to the Olympics.

00:45That's what I cried when I left boxing.

00:48Because when I left boxing, I felt like I fulfilled my dream.

00:52But she had another chance to make her dream come true.

00:56She was tapped to fight in the women's middleweight class for the Philippine boxing team.

01:01I was thinking, of course, I'm going back to zero.

01:04That's why I started in boxing in 2019.

01:08I said, even if I qualify, it's a big impossibility.

01:13Hergie's love for the sport of boxing grew.

01:16But she went through a lot going to the Olympics,

01:20especially the second world qualification tournament in Thailand in June.

01:24You're nervous, you can't move.

01:26You're in good condition in training.

01:28But when you go to sleep, you can't sleep anymore.

01:31Because, what am I going to do? What style am I going to do?

01:35What technique am I going to do?

01:38Hergie defeated the champions of Spain and Hungary,

01:41who were former youth world champions.

01:43In the last match, she knocked out Marielis Iriza of Venezuela via unanimous decision.

01:49When I was called, I qualified.

01:52All my sacrifices were in vain.

01:55I really cried because I didn't expect that I would reach my dream.

02:03I said, I can't believe it, I'm already an Olympian.

02:07Now, Hergie is preparing for the 2024 Paris Olympics,

02:12where she will be with the Philippines team,

02:14Naomi Marcial, Nesty Petetio, Carlo Paalam, and Ira Villegas.

02:19Of course, will we miss the training of an Olympic-bound boxer?

02:24I followed Hergie's strength and conditioning training.

02:27Just one more round, and I'm already sweating.

02:30Boxers train in the morning and afternoon.

02:33And even on weekends when she needs to rest,

02:35Hergie still wants to train.

02:37For men, we have Marcial.

02:39For women, she's the one I coach because she's powerful as Marcial.

02:44That's why I always remind her,

02:47J, use your power.

02:50That's your biggest advantage in the ring, J.

02:55That's why you really need to test your opponent.

02:58On June 22, the Philippine boxing team left

03:01for the training camp in Metz, France before the Olympics.

03:05I will force her to get what's for me.

03:08As long as it's important, you're there,

03:11you trust me, that's all.

03:14That's what I will build to withstand all the pressure,

03:18to withstand all the fear.

03:20For GMA Integrated News, Mav Gonzalez,

03:23for Tutok, 24 Hours.
