00:52aside from the SEA Games, Asian Games is the one that Petesio is focusing on,
00:56where 14 years have passed since the last time the former Women's Boxing Team member, Annie Albania,
01:04won a silver medal in the Women's Flyweight event of the 2010 Asian Games in China.
01:10The SEA Games and Asian Games are our targets because the Asian Games is just a few weeks away.
01:16I haven't won a gold there yet.

01:24as well as his bronze medal win after the 2024 Paris Olympics in the upcoming 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
01:32Despite talking about the danger of boxing being removed from the sport in the next Olympics,
01:38Galido said that Villegas' mindset is still positive from the hope of being able to fight again in the Olympic stage.
01:46I've always heard that.
01:49Even before Tokyo, they said that there will be no boxing.
