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.
