00:00I discovered football through my eldest brother who is already a supporter of
00:14the Philippine men's national team in their Suzuki Cup campaign in 2010 so I
00:20got curious about the game and I had the opportunity to watch the Philippines
00:25men's national team to play against Sri Lanka in 2012. They won that game and
00:31we're so hyped yeah that's why I fell in love with the game.
00:43I chose football because it is the most popular sport in the world. When you go
00:48outside of the Philippines, football is the most dominant sport and it can be
00:54played by anyone to be honest. Football can be played everywhere as well. You can
00:59play it on the field, on the beach and also to the streets. It is really
01:05accessible to everyone.
01:11Regarding Spain, I got the opportunity to play with CD Losetense in Mallorca.
01:18I'll be playing there for a full season, hopefully sign a professional contract
01:24I'm so excited and I can't wait and it's a big step towards my career.
01:36My future plans for my career is hopefully to play in the top leagues
01:40whether it's in Middle East, in Asia, in Europe and in America and to play with a
01:47Philippine national football team.
