00:00We're back on PTV Sports and today we have live sports member via collector Dr. Michael Rico-Messina

00:07to take a look at the world of Philippine sports.

00:10Saisaya, Nostalgia, and many more.

00:13We're here at Treasures of the Game.

00:16Good morning.

00:17Our morning is beautiful.

00:19Doc, welcome back.

00:20Hello, Ma'am Sheila, Ma'am Bernadette. Good morning.

00:23We're here again at Treasures of the Game this morning.

00:27The color of our combination is beautiful.

00:30That's true.

00:31Let's talk about the upcoming events in relation to basketball.

00:38Actually, Ma'am, on March 30, this coming Sunday,

00:43we'll have a so-called Basketball Baliktanaw.

00:47It's the first ever Philippine Basketball History and Culture Summit.

00:53Yes.

00:54What's in this Baliktanaw, Doc?

00:57Because I saw you have Sir Sam Sarmenta, you have Sir Xiao Jua, a historian.

01:03What content will you discuss here?

01:07This summit aims to create a greater appreciation of our fans

01:14for the history and culture of Philippine basketball.

01:18This is really like a convention.

01:20We have speakers, lecturers, and panel discussants

01:26to explain their experiences in Philippine basketball.

01:31But Doc, before this Basketball Baliktanaw,

01:35what was our process?

01:38How did we come up with this?

01:39What are we going to do this March 30?

01:43So, it started with an idea that

01:47why don't we have a gathering of legends, players,

01:53and experts in Philippine basketball

01:56so that they can share their knowledge with those attending the convention.

02:02And then, one more thing is that

02:04since PBA will celebrate its 58th anniversary,

02:10this is a perfect jumping-off event

02:14before we celebrate that milestone.

02:17I'm curious, Doc, how did you choose the speakers attending this convention?

02:24For example, Sir Sam Sarmenta,

02:28he'll be lecturing about why basketball is ingrained in the culture of the Philippines.

02:35Also, Sir Seb's experience in Philippine basketball

02:39through all these years of broadcasting.

02:42He'll be sharing a lot with us regarding that.

02:45Sir Shaushua is our well-renowned historian.

02:50He'll be sharing the importance of memorabilia in history.

02:55Here at our summit, we have memorabilia exhibits.

03:01So, the collections that I've been showing for the past several months,

03:06we'll be displaying some of those.

03:08Wow! That's the highlight!

03:11This is one of the things that our sports enthusiasts will be looking forward to.

03:16Usually, our museums are filled with historical artifacts.

03:23But for Doc Missina, sports memorabilia is unique.

03:28And for the very first time, we'll have this.

03:30Isn't it beautiful?

03:31Yes.

03:32To be honest, I've never seen content like this before.

03:35We're showing sports memorabilia.

03:39But Doc, do we have any special guests for our basketball convention?

03:46Aside from our experts and lecturers,

03:49of course, we have some legendary players attending.

03:52Some of them are Sir Ed Roque.

03:55Sir Ed Roque is a 1916 Olympian and 1962 Asian Games gold medalist.

04:02Sir Jimmy Mariano will also be attending.

04:08He was the skipper of our national team in 1972 at the Munich Olympics.

04:14Then, for the younger 90s, the PBA superstars,

04:20Sir Benji Paras, Bong Hawkins, Jeffrey Carraso, and Vince Heason will also be attending.

04:29Doc, how did you get all these people together for this event?

04:36This is also a culmination of my collecting journey.

04:40As I've been collecting through all these years,

04:43I've developed a relationship with those figures and those players.

04:48That's why it's easy for me to invite them.

04:52I'm happy that they accepted our invitation.

04:56Of course. Who wouldn't?

04:58This is the very first convention talking about sports.

05:01You mentioned PBA legends.

05:03Now, we're going to talk about this book.

05:06The title is, When We Are Champions.

05:09Doc, what is this book about?

05:12This particular book was authored by Sir Noel Albano.

05:17It dwells upon the time of the golden era of Philippine basketball.

05:22It's from the 1930s to the 1960s.

05:26Back then, we were the champions, not only in the Asian scene,

05:30where we were always the champions in the Asian Games and ABC,

05:34but also in the international stage.

05:37We always made it to the World Cup, FIBA World Cup, and the Olympics.

05:42This book details the era of Philippine basketball.

05:46As early as from the 1930s to the 1960s,

05:52you mentioned that Filipinos were very passionate about basketball.

05:56What happened?

05:58Why do we have talent and skills in this sport?

06:04First of all, we were one of the first Americans to be taught how to play basketball.

06:10Also, Filipinos were passionate about playing basketball.

06:15Like Sir Seb's lecture,

06:18since the early 1900s,

06:22Filipinos embraced and loved basketball.

06:26This reflects in our performances in international competitions.

06:31Doc, you know, you know a lot about the history of basketball as a sport here in the country.

06:39I'm curious, what really motivates us?

06:43Why are we very into basketball?

06:46I didn't dream of becoming a professional basketball player or a varsity player,

06:54but I wanted to see the evolution of our game from the 1930s to the present time.

07:03I also wanted to give the opportunity to talk to the players and coaches

07:09who became a part of our history here in the game of basketball.

07:13You know, it's not just basketball that has a Doc Messina.

07:17We have a lot of events and sports here

07:21where we can really see the beauty of performance,

07:26especially when medals are won.

07:28Of course, it is recognized in various tournaments in other countries.

07:32Just like you, Doc.

07:33You are one with the world of basketball.

07:37But when it comes to the convention,

07:40will this book be discussed?

07:42Hopefully, Sir Noel will be able to attend the book signing of this event.

07:51But Professor Bonnie Escoda will also make a book about basketball,

07:58but it will be more comprehensive from the very start until the present.

08:02He will give a lecture here at the summit about the genesis and the golden age of Philippine basketball.

08:11Very interesting.

08:12Let's cover it.

08:13You don't have to ask.

08:14My background is in history.

08:16I am really fond of history.

08:18This is really the first event that caught my interest.

08:23Now, Doc, if they want to watch,

08:26how do they go to this convention?

08:27How will they know the details?

08:29For details regarding the Basketball Baliktanaw,
