00:00In our sports banter, our teammate Rafael Bandairel
00:04talked about the re-elected Philippine Olympic Committee President,
00:07Abraham Bambol Tolentino.
00:09Let's watch this.
00:12Good morning, teammates.
00:14I am your host, Rafael Bandairel.
00:16We are joined by the newly re-elected president of the Philippine Olympic Committee
00:21and Tagaytay City Mayor, Mr. Abraham Bambol Tolentino.
00:25Sir, welcome to the program.
00:27Thank you. Good morning to all of you.
00:30Sir, obviously, you were re-elected as the president,
00:34as the leader of the Philippine Olympic Committee,
00:38and it was really a landslide victory for you.
00:4045 votes to 15.
00:42And we can see that the trust of the NSA is there in your leadership.
00:47So, what can we say about that, President?
00:50First, I would like to thank those who helped and supported me.
00:55I am saying that this is not for me.
00:58This is not for the POC.
01:00This is for the athletes and for the country.
01:03So, with that result, the General Assembly spoke
01:08about who is really worthy.
01:11So, based on our performance in the past four years,
01:15that is the result.
01:18That is why they trusted you.
01:22President Bambol, I am sure you have already talked to the leaders of the NSA
01:26after your re-election.
01:28But can you just share with us what you told them when it comes to
01:33the trust that they gave you?
01:36Yes, definitely.
01:38We will sustain what we are doing.
01:43And we will improve because we learned a lot of lessons.
01:49We learned a lot.
01:50We went through a lot of challenges.
01:53Not only the Olympics, but all the international competitions.
01:57We started with Manungkulan.
02:00President, when we were elected, can you just share with us,
02:05obviously this is an extension of your term,
02:07but what is our first order of business as a re-elected president?
02:11We need to be prepared.
02:13We were busy with the elections.
02:16We were focused, but we need to be prepared.
02:20We need to coordinate with the Philippine Sports Commission.
02:23By next year, after these holidays,
02:25we will have a lot of competitions, international competitions.
02:29Aside from the local competitions,
02:32our international competitions are important.
02:34Earlier in February, we had the Harbin Asian Winter Games.
02:39You might be surprised because it was winter,
02:41but there were Filipinos participating.
02:43They participated in speed skates, ski, curling, figure skating.
02:48That is one of the things we are developing and improving.
02:52After that, by next year, we will have the Ski Games in Thailand.
02:57Before that, we might have the IMAG in suspense.
03:01The Asian Indoor Martial Arts Games.
03:03We also have Esports in the Olympics in Saudi Arabia.
03:06After that, in 2026, the Asian Games.
03:09We have a lot of responsibilities there,
03:11especially in basketball.
03:13We need to defend the number one in Asia.
03:16We might forget that.
03:18So that will be in 2026 in Nagoya.
03:21But the Winter Olympics might be the first in 2026,
03:25in Fortuna, Italy, Milan.
03:28Then in 2027, another major, the SEA Games again in Malaysia.
03:32In 2025, we still have the World Asian Youth Games in Bahrain.
03:40It will be full in 2025-2026.
03:42It will go into qualifying.
03:44It will go to the LA Olympics.
03:46So everything will build up to the LA Olympics.
03:49Yes, so by January, let's roll our sleeves
03:53and first order of business, focus on those international competitions.
04:00President Bambol, you said that your upcoming events
04:04and responsibilities for our POC.
04:08But let's go back to the Philippines' performance in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
04:15Obviously, historically, this is the largest medal hole.
04:19And this is the historic first time that we have a double gold.
04:23What is your assessment of our campaign?
04:26What went right for our athletes?
04:29Aside from the medalists, many are competitive in the Paris Olympics.
04:35We need lots of exposures and training for this LA.
04:40The preparation is still long.
04:42So we need to take advantage of the time.
04:45And with the support of different stakeholders and the government, of course.
04:51Especially if we have a permanent office.
04:55So I'll push for that.
04:59We don't have a permanent office where we can have a meeting room, planning, etc.
05:07War room or what.
05:09So that's very important.
05:10But that's in the works, President.
05:12Yes, I hope we can start negotiations through the office of the First Lady.
05:20After a hundred years, the Philippine Olympic Committee still doesn't have a permanent office.
05:26As we wind down, last couple of questions.
05:29First, our boxing is very reliable when it comes to giving the Philippines medals.
05:36Do we have any news about the boxing stadium heading into LA 2028?
05:41I'm sure it will be included in LA 2028.
05:45Even though we're still in limbo, we're continuously training and looking for other grass roots and other new talents.
05:55That's important.
05:57One of the NSA with medal holds.
05:59That's important.
06:01We're fighting for it to be included.
06:04We're campaigning and lobbying for it to be included in LA Olympics.
06:09Lastly, what is our message to our countrymen and supporters of our athletes?
06:15Keep on supporting.
06:17If we don't see any talents, just tell us.
06:20It will help.
06:22Especially those in the far-flung provinces and other Philippines or European Filipinos.
06:31Those who are far away that we can't discover.
06:34It's a big help and inspiration to other athletes.
06:38And there we have it.
06:40Thank you very much, POC President Mr. Abraham Bambol Tolentino.
