Alamat kung ituring ng mga taga-Siasi ang swimmer athlete na si Bana Sailani, mas kilala sa tanyag na ‘Banana.’ Lumaban si Bana sa Olympics noong 1956 at 1960. Pero may isa ring manlalangoy ang hindi pa kilala ng karamihan. Siya si Tuburan Tamse— ang kauna-unahang Tausug Olympian.

00:00The day of the release of the group has arrived.
00:05Be careful here.
00:08Bye!
00:10Bye!
00:30Hello! Hi! I'm Mavs, eyewitness. Hi coach! Hello!
00:51There are three additions to Team BARB from Tawi-Tawi and Cotabato.
00:55They are the winners in the regional meet.
00:57They have their own strokes.
01:00It depends on the relay. There are freestyle relays.
01:03Here in Cebu, the components come together.
01:06What are your strokes?
01:08I'm doing the butterfly.
01:10What about you? Freestyle.
01:12Freestyle. And you, K.I.? Freestyle, breaststroke.
01:15The training was not difficult because they are from different places.
01:19Or did they just meet here? Here.
01:21There was a little adjustment.
01:22That's why it was difficult for us.
01:25Because we are not from the same place.
01:27We just practiced here.
01:29We set here.
01:31Who will swim in the first day and second day here.
01:33It was difficult for us to adjust here.
01:341948 was the national game where the best athletes of elementary and high school competed.
01:54Students of private and public schools competed.
02:00Students of private and public schools from all over the country could compete here.
02:09According to the rules, when it comes to the swimming event,
02:13the overall champions are usually the members of NCR, Calabarzon, and Western Visayas.
02:19Mindanao, until now, is still hoping for the championship.
02:30But when it comes to the talented swimmers,
02:34there are also many who are from Sulu, especially from Siasi.
02:40Do you know him?
02:42He's Banana.
02:44This is him.
02:46He looks like him.
02:48Is he your son or grandfather?
02:50Alex.
02:52This is Banana, right?
02:54Banana is the champion of United.
02:57He is the fastest swimmer in Siasi.
03:03Bana Saylani is considered a legend in Siasi.
03:07He is better known as Banana.
03:09There are stories about why he swam so fast.
03:14Banana swam with a small fish.
03:20He saw a small fish swimming against the current.
03:28That night, Colonel Banana dreamed of the fish.
03:32He said, don't leave me, take care of me.
03:37This will be your guide.
03:41Just continue what you are dreaming of so that you can win.
03:46The last fish became Banana's last.
03:53Whether the story of the fish is true or not,
03:57Banana is still small and he is hoping to swim.
04:00The boat with books is rocking.
04:03Banana is swimming in a 2-kilometer sea from his house to school.
04:09He won in various national and international competitions,
04:14including the national games, Asian Games,
04:18and the 1956 and 1960 Summer Olympics.
04:22We are praying to Almighty God that they will be like him.
04:27They will be going to follow the footsteps of Banana directly.
04:33But if competition is the topic of discussion,
04:35there is an important athlete who was not mistaken by the new generation of swimmers.
04:43Do you know him?
04:47Who is he?
04:49We don't know him.
04:51He is also a swimmer.
04:53He is older.
04:55Is he a swimmer?
04:57We don't know him.
04:59You don't know him?
05:01Have you heard of Tuburan Tamsin?
05:03Have you heard of Tuburan Tamsin?
05:06I don't know him.
05:08He was the first Olympian to learn how to swim.
05:15Before the national games,
05:18there was a swimmer who was known for swimming,
05:21Tuburan Tamsin.
05:22He was only 17 years old when he swam 400m freestyle and 1,500m freestyle in the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics.
05:38This is the only article about Tamsin.
05:42There is also no detailed information about the competitions he participated in and won.
05:47It is sad to think that the new generation does not know the first Olympian to put Tamsin on the map.
06:02He swam 400m and 1,500m freestyle.
06:07He did not know this.
06:08Why do you think that children are not interested in swimming?
06:12They are not interested.
06:14They are only interested in basketball and table tennis.
06:23I don't know.
06:25I don't know.
06:27I don't know.
06:29I don't know.
06:31I don't know.
06:33I don't know.
06:35I don't know.
06:37I don't know.
06:38I don't know.
06:39I don't know.
06:43On the other side,
06:45this is just a good thing and there is still someone who started.
06:49It's not just quick.
06:51Go!
06:52Go!
