00:00In our sports banter, we have with us, of course, the Batikang Sports Journalist from Radyo Pilipinas 2,

00:06Aaron Bayato.

00:08I'm an idol fan.

00:09Good afternoon, sir Aaron. Welcome to BTV Sports.

00:11Good afternoon, Daryl, Paolo.

00:14Batikang is amazing. I'm just a simple storyteller of what's happening.

00:18Isn't that amazing? He's an idol fan.

00:20That's fast. It's just a simple story.

00:23But thank you for having us. Thank you.

00:25Sir Aaron, let's talk about the Philippine Men's Football Team's campaign for the ASEAN Mitsubishi Electric Cup.

00:32And recently, the lineup of the Philippine Football Team was announced.

00:36Your thoughts regarding our lineup for this year's ASEAN Mitsubishi Electric Cup.

00:40First of all, of course, as fans and Filipinos, we're calling on everyone,

00:46especially our sports fans of whatever sport,

00:49to support our national athletes.

00:51Twenty-six national athletes wearing the tricolors

00:55will be competing against our friends in Southeast Asia for the Mitsubishi Electric Cup.

01:00It's been a while since our country got hyped up with men's football,

01:06given, of course, the success of our women's football in the New Zealand World Cup,

01:11and then their historic achievements in the ASEAN Cup.

01:14So this time, in men's football, in the new management of our federation,

01:19the Philippine Football Federation, they're looking to get some grounds.

01:23It's not been easy.

01:24There were some rollercoaster results.

01:28Of course, we had our first win since a long while in the Kings Cup.

01:32But we lost to Hong Kong, unfortunately.

01:35So, recently, our teammates in other networks,

01:41like Fredy Gonzales, the director of our national teams,

01:47had a hard time getting players.

01:50Because, number one, this is not part of the FIFA window.

01:53When we say FIFA window, it obliges the mother clubs of all leagues around the globe.

02:00Okay, this player, Darryl, who plays in Bayern Munich,

02:07he can play because he's in the FIFA window.

02:09Darryl, who's in Real Madrid, can play.

02:12So, we have the likes of Gerrit Holtmann, Kevin Ray Mendoza,

02:15Manny Ott, if I recall correctly.

02:18We might not be able to include them unless Bayern Munich decides their mother clubs.

02:24Okay, you can play in the national team. It's understandable.

02:27So, the 26-man lineup, of course,

02:31the team captain, Patrick Reichelt, and the rest of the squad.

02:36These are the teams that Coach Albert Capellos brought in that he saw

02:40and he trusts that he saw in the Hong Kong match.

02:43That could spark some interest and perhaps give our country,

02:50maybe, and hopefully,

02:52a break from the drought of not making it to the Final Four.

02:57Because in our group, we need to advance within the top two,

03:00or placing within the top two,

03:02so that we can make it to the semifinals of the Mitsubishi Electric Cup.

03:06Sir Aron, you mentioned that our campaign has been a rollercoaster

03:11these past few years for the Philippine men's football team,

03:14and now we have a new head coach with Sir Albert Capellos.

03:17Based on what you saw, how many games has he handled our Philippine men's football team?

03:22Concerning Sir Albert, in handling our national team.

03:26Well, definitely, in terms of testing every ability,

03:32looking at the data of every player that is formed by the coaches

03:38and the management of our men's football team.

03:41There's also a growing confidence among the squad

03:44that they like the camaraderie of each one.

03:48Obviously, most fans are not happy when they lose.

03:54But he is spinning his hopes.

03:57At the time, I think we were able to honor him at an establishment in Lungson, Damacati,

04:02when he showed the trophy for the Mitsubishi Electric Cup.

04:07They're very hopeful and confident that somehow,

04:12the talent that our players have, like Santi Rublico and the rest of the squad,

04:18can bring more energy.

04:21And of course, the support of the fans.

04:24The fans, especially those who have been following the men's football team,

04:28formerly known as the Philippine Ascals.

04:30They've been there to the point that they're giving an earful to the players,

04:38especially to our friends in the Ultras when they lose,

04:41to give them their comments.

04:43So it's very important as well to the fans.

04:46It's especially crucial for the fans to troop in our stadium in Rizal

04:51to support our squad.

04:53Sir, you run a very challenging group for the Philippines.

04:57We have Myanmar, Vietnam, Indonesia, and then Laos

05:01in these four games for the knockout stages.

05:04What do you think of our match-up here in these four countries?

05:07Who do you think we can beat or possibly we'll have a hard time beating

05:11in this knockout stage of the Mitsubishi Electric Cup?

05:14So, Daryl and Boss Pao, Boss Daryl, on paper,

05:17we should win against Myanmar and Laos.

05:20Because by rankings, I think we're at 149.

05:23Respectively, our friends and neighbors in Myanmar and Laos are ranked lower.

05:28Unfortunately, in Hong Kong, we lost even though Hong Kong was ranked lower.

05:32But I hope it won't happen again.

05:34Should we take care of those games?

05:37They're both home in the way.

05:39Our match in Myanmar this coming Thursday at 6 p.m.

05:44at Rizal Memorial Football Stadium.

05:46If we win against Laos in Vientiane,

05:49we're in a good position to at least recover the squad

05:54heading into the upcoming big matches

05:57against our fellow ASEAN rivals, which we can call Vietnam and Indonesia.

06:02Sir Aaron, I think the highest finish in the Philippines is the semifinals.

06:07I think the same goes for the year of the Miracle of Hanoi.

06:09I don't know if I'm wrong or right about that year

06:13because I was young when the Miracle of Hanoi happened.

06:17But, Sir Aaron, do you think we're close to the trajectory of the Philippine men's football team?

06:23Do you think we can sense that kind of feeling, the Miracle of Hanoi,

06:28that we can win our games again?

06:30Even here in the region, in Southeast Asia.

06:34There's this weird feeling, actually,

06:37to our fellow football fans or soccer followers in the Philippines.

06:41Because our neighbors in ASEAN, who definitely love football,

06:45and that's their religion,

06:47they don't have the data or they can't predict

06:53if we're strong or not.

06:55So, our Southeast Asian neighbors are a bit wary,

06:58especially with Indonesia,

06:59who reportedly will send their B-team

07:02because Indonesia is preparing for their fourth round

07:06for them to make a return to the FIFA World Cup,

07:10which is, of course, the most important football competition in the world.

07:13But then, of course, Vietnam did not make it to compete for the World Cup.

07:19So, Vietnam is all eyes of dominating the group.

07:24But, given that,

07:27it's been a while since the fans got this kind of hype.

07:31Especially within the football community.

07:34Because we believe and we are very hopeful

07:39about the talent that the kids are showing.

07:42I can say kids because most of them are younger than us.

07:47And hopefully, this will be the cornerstone that Ginoong Capellas will build

07:51moving forward.

07:52But, of course, it's also important that

07:54it's been a while since we've been in the final four.

07:57So, let's work it out.

08:00And hopefully, things will work out.

08:02Let's have a great Christmas with the Philippines qualifying to the final four

08:06of the Mitsubishi Electric Cup.

08:08This is what our fans are saying.

08:11Two of our four games here at the Mitsubishi Electric Cup

08:17will be played here in the Philippines.

08:19So, how vital is the role of the fans

08:21so that our men's team can play here in this tournament?

08:27Simply to put it this way,

08:32our women's team got the Asian Championships

08:39because of the fans that trooped the Rizal Memorial Football Stadium.

08:43They relied on it given the compressed schedule.

08:49So, how passionate was our support for the women's football team?

08:59I hope that our support for the men's football team will be the same.

09:03Because it's now or never for the squad.

09:08They feel that there's this ray of light for them

09:15to hopefully make a historic return to the semifinals of the Mitsubishi Electric Cup.

09:23So, it's very important.

09:24Of course, the cornerstone.

09:25Without the fans, any national teams will have a hard time of dealing against adversity.

09:32It looks like our conversation about football here at Sports Banter is heating up.

09:36But when we come back, we'll be joined by Sir Aaron Bayato

09:40to talk about what's happening in F1.

09:43All of that on the return of PTV Sports.

10:14PTV Crime Watch

12:21Also bring clothes and beddings that will last for a few days.

12:26Reminders against Human Trafficking

12:29And for safety and awareness,

12:31bring personal protective equipment and technical equipment.

12:38In times of calamity, you must always be alert.

12:44Reminders against Human Trafficking

12:49Welcome back to PTV Sports.

12:51We are still here with Sir Aaron Bayatong, my idol,

12:55to talk about our topic on F1.

12:59Sir, thank you very much for coming here.

13:02First question, let's start with Bianca Bustamante.

13:05Can you share with us the activities of Bianca Bustamante?

13:11F1 Academy, is that right, sir?

13:13What can we talk about?

13:16Actually, I should go back to the question.

13:19We should be in Abu Dhabi now.

13:24The F1 Academy ended just 30 minutes ago.

13:29Unfortunately, Bianca, in her last race,

13:32for race number 3,

13:34she finished P14 or 14th place.

13:37She was initially around 4th,

13:39running 4th or 5th during race 3

13:41in the Yas Marina Circuits for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix of F1 Academy.

13:45However, she got a penalty due to a dive-bomb.

13:51A dive-bomb is when you went into the inside line

13:56and attempted a kamikaze overtake.

13:59However, your competitor was already injured.

14:03So, she was penalized for causing a collision.

14:06Beyond that, she finished with 16 points throughout the three races

14:11of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

14:13The race 2 was a 1P7,

14:15which is why there were three races in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

14:18The first round in Doha, Qatar,

14:20the race 2 was cancelled due to safety concerns.

14:24There were people who were not able to adjust on time

14:27when it came to safety barriers.

14:29The FIA is strict when it comes to safety.

14:32So, they decided to cancel the race

14:35and just postponed the three races in Abu Dhabi.

14:38Bianca Bustamante had, obviously, a tough F1 Academy season.

14:42Last year, she won two races.

14:45However, she was only able to score one podium finish

14:52in Miami during the race 2,

14:54which also became a double celebration

14:56because she was under the McLaren Development Program.

14:59During that time, McLaren also won with Landon Orris

15:03in the US Grand Prix, but that's another topic.

15:05Hopefully, with this being reported,

15:10Bianca won't be renewing for the F1 Academy.

15:13So, let's see what her next steps will be.

15:15Will she be able to advance to F3

15:17or other racing series around the globe?

15:20Definitely, and hopefully, she won't lose her drive.

15:24She will still be employed or racing into various series.

15:28But, it's definitely something for Bianca

15:33to reflect on her journey with ART.

15:36That's her team.

15:37And then, under the McLaren Umbrella Racing Development Program.

15:43She gained those experiences

15:45from the coaching that her squad gives her.

15:49She's also a teammate of the two McLaren drivers,

15:54Landon Orris and Oscar Piastri.

15:57She's able to learn and continue to fly the Philippine flag

16:02in whatever series that she will follow.

16:05Of course, Bianca and the rest of the ladies

16:09competing in the F1 Academy,

16:10their dream is to race again in Formula 1.

16:15It's been a while since F1 has a last female racer.

16:19It already had a female racer,

16:21but it did not become that prestigious.

16:25But, of course, it's great that there's a female racer

16:28who can race in the top flight,

16:30the pinakala of motorsports.

16:32But, Sir Aaron, speaking of her journey,

16:34before we talk about anything else,

16:36what can you say about her journey,

16:39about her development,

16:40since she started racing when she was a kid.

16:45What can you say about her career, Sir?

16:48After being in the F1 Academy,

16:50what can you say?

16:51What are your thoughts about that?

16:52From go-karts up to F1 Academy,

16:58she was very inspirational

16:59because the steps she took were not easy.

17:05Obviously, and to frankly say it,

17:07you need money.

17:09Fortunately, Bianca Bustamante

17:12got a blessing sponsorship backing

17:15and the right way in getting sponsorships

17:20to get her a drive.

17:21At the same time,

17:22her training in go-karts

17:24and other series that she joined

17:26prior to joining F1 Academy.

17:28Of course, the W Series,

17:30which previously was the top flight

17:34for female racing,

17:38which was a bit like Formula 1

17:41until it eventually became F1 Academy.

17:43So, she's inspiring

17:44and hopefully, she won't be discouraged

17:48even if she didn't win.

17:50She'll see that the campaign was a failure.

17:54It just became a struggle.

17:56Hopefully, she'll continue

17:58in other series that she'll join.

18:00Definitely, I personally,

18:03as an F1 fan,

18:04as a racing fan,

18:05a motorsports fan,

18:07her achievements were different

18:10and her advocacy in promoting

18:14female motorsports as well.

18:15Alright, very well said, sir.

18:17Speaking of F1,

18:18Max Verstappen,

18:19sir, what can you say?

18:21Winning the 4th F1 World Title,

18:23what can you say?

18:24This is very historic.

18:26Max Verstappen.

18:27Okay, as he always says,

18:29it's simply lovely.

18:31That's his tagline.

18:33This is probably his most difficult title

18:36since 2021.

18:38Of course, 2021 was a season of the ages

18:43between his former rival,

18:45Lewis Hamilton.

18:46But here, he was challenged.

18:48In 2023, just like Max Verstappen,

18:50if he didn't win,

18:51it would've been like a disaster

18:53for his rivals.

18:55But this time,

18:56there's been gains by McLaren,

19:00by Ferrari,

19:01and at some point, Mercedes.

19:03But eventually,

19:04Verstappen, relying on experience,

19:07I think,

19:08his drive was good.

19:09He had a good start during the first part

19:11of the 2024 season.

19:13And when Lando Norris was chasing him,

19:15his car gained traction.

19:18There was a regression in the Red Bull powertrains.

19:23Other aerodynamic setups didn't work out.

19:26But the turning moment,

19:32or fine moment,

19:33at least for Max Verstappen,

19:35was during the race in Brazil,

19:37the officially-turned-best Sao Paulo Grand Prix,

19:39where it rained.

19:40Starting from 17th place,

19:42he clawed his way back to win that race.

19:46And it's a manifestation of greatness personified

19:52for the Dutch driver,

19:54and well-deserved in winning

19:56his fourth World Drivers' Championship.

19:59His story is very inspiring.

20:00But sir, for you,

20:02where does he place among the greats?

20:04Because there's a lot of names in F1,

20:06but for you, sir,

20:08I know this is a hard question for you,

20:10but since you're a F1 fan,

20:12for you, sir,

20:14where does he place among the greats?

20:18Okay.

20:19Because there's always recency bias.

20:21So you have the greats like, of course,

20:23Lewis Hamilton.

20:24Even though he's struggling,

20:26he's one of the greats,

20:27if not the greatest.

20:29Statistically, he's the greatest of all time.

20:31Statistically.

20:32Then you have also Michael Schumacher,

20:34who was the first to reach seven world titles.

20:36And then way back in the 1950s,

20:39when our grandparents were still young,

20:42you have Juan Manuel Fangio,

20:45and then you have Alain Prost,

20:47and then the late Ayrton Senna,

20:49of course, Sebastian Vettel,

20:50and then Max Verstappen.

20:51It's hard to rate him

20:54because our uncles and aunts

20:58who were our first F1 fans

21:00were waiting for him

21:01to be ranked as the greatest of all time.

21:04Objectively.

21:05Because the eras are different.

21:07The eras of the 50s, 60s, 70s,

21:09the cars were different.

21:10This one is very modern.

21:11It has electronics, chassis,

21:13and everything.

21:15As long as it has a clutch,

21:17and a gearbox, it's fine.

21:19Others said it was better back then.

21:22Others say it's better now.

21:24Let's classify it as Mount Rushmore.

21:28In Mount Rushmore,

21:29you have four presidents,

21:30American presidents.

21:31So maybe Max Verstappen

21:33getting there,

21:35it's hard to remove.

21:36Who would you remove?

21:37You have Hamilton, Schumacher, Fangio.

21:39He or Vettel.

21:41So definitely,

21:43he's perhaps a top 5

21:46or a top 7

21:47amongst the F1 greats.

21:49But I cannot question

21:51if anyone will say,

21:52especially your fellow Filipinos,

21:54that Max Verstappen

21:55is the greatest,

21:56potentially the greatest racer of all time.

21:59He came from our Batikang school.

22:03From a Louis Hamilton fan,

22:04by the way.

22:05But sir,

22:06speaking of Louis Hamilton,

22:09this is shocking,

22:10very shocking for the F1 community.

22:12Especially,

22:13the shocking team transfer

22:15of Louis Hamilton

22:16from Mercedes to Ferrari.

22:20It's like,

22:21how many seasons, sir?

22:2218 seasons?

22:2312 seasons?

22:24From Mercedes 246 Grand Prix

22:27and 18 Drivers' Championships.

22:30Is that right, sir?

22:31If I'm not mistaken.

22:32But what can you say about that, sir?

22:34Well, he didn't let me sleep

22:35when he was there.

22:36He'll transfer to Ferrari.

22:38But definitely,

22:39his dream is to join F1.

22:41Of course,

22:42he's been blessed

22:44with driving for Mercedes

22:45throughout his life.

22:46Even before,

22:47he used to drive for McLaren and Mercedes.

22:49But his decision

22:51to go to Ferrari

22:52is for a new challenge.

22:53Maybe it's part of life

22:55that sometimes,

22:56as we grow older,

22:57we would like new challenges.

22:59Maybe any one of us

23:01will experience it

23:02in whatever,

23:03maybe in our career,

23:05we would like to pursue others.

23:06And sir,

23:07I can't blame him

23:08because he's already 40 next year, right?

23:09He's already 40 next year.

23:10He's already 40 next year.

23:11So maybe,

23:12it's time for him

23:13to fulfill his dream.

23:15That is,

23:16to drive under Ferrari.

23:18Ferrari.

23:19And he himself

23:20owns a Ferrari.

23:21I mean,

23:22he owns one.

23:23You can just search

23:24on YouTube for that.

23:25But of course,

23:26there's also

23:27a hint of,

23:28a string of

23:29disappointment

23:30to his squad.

23:31They made a promise.

23:33They were eager

23:34to bounce back

23:35from that 2021

23:36losing the

23:37Drivers' Championship.

23:38Although,

23:39they were the

23:40Constructors' Championship

23:41in 2021.

23:42But they didn't

23:43risk retaining

23:44their glory

23:45in 2022,

23:462023.

23:47In 2023,

23:48they never won a race.

23:49This was the only time.

23:50But the composition

23:51of their car

23:52wasn't good

23:53in other races.

23:54In other tracks,

23:55or circuits,

23:56they dominated.

23:57But this time,

23:58they had a hard time.

23:59So,

24:00it's,

24:02maybe a great move

24:03for Lewis Hamilton.

24:04Who knows?

24:05And also,

24:06a promising one

24:07for Mercedes.

24:08They have a new

24:09kid in

24:12poised to be

24:13one of the

24:14most exciting

24:15and perhaps poised

24:16to win more

24:17championships

24:18for Mercedes.

24:19As well as
