00:00The National Diving Team is preparing for the upcoming Southeast Asian Games in Thailand.

00:08What are the preparations being done by the team?

00:11Let's find out in the words of teammate Carl Velasco.

00:16Eight months before the 2025 Southeast Asian Games in Thailand,

00:21the Philippine Diving Team is preparing for the so-called Patimpalak.

00:27Two elite divers from other countries will visit the Philippines

00:31so that our athletes can have a chance to practice.

00:34For the upcoming Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series

00:38that will be held in Indido, Palawan next week.

00:42Meanwhile, according to Philippine Diving Team Head Coach Marie Dimanche,

00:47this training is a big deal not only for the athletes,

00:52but also for the sport,

00:54because it will also help in the growth of cliff diving in the country.

00:59In addition, the potential of young cliff divers is great

01:03because there is no strange height requirement in the sport.

01:08She also praised our neighbors in Asia

01:11because of their dominance in different cliff diving competitions.

01:16There's always a strong possibility for diving

01:18because there's no height requirement.

01:21And then also, you can see that,

01:25like from other Asian countries who have taken the podium,

01:29like Malaysia, same built as us.

01:32And then China, obviously, they're dominating the diving competitions.

01:38I hope that the training of the kids will continue

01:41because diving is a very high skill.

01:44So meaning, if they're saying,

01:46I hope that they're from 1.5, 2.5, 3.5,

01:504.5.

01:51If they stop for a while,

01:53it's like they should go back again.

01:55So hopefully, the training will continue,

01:58the exposure will continue.

02:00That way, their world-class level will reach faster.

02:07Coach Dimanche thanked the support

02:10they received from the Philippine Sports Commission

02:13and Philippine Aquatics Incorporated.

02:15She also called on the LGUs

02:18to add more facilities for diving

02:21because there are only two that they can use for the exercise.

02:27Unfortunately, there are only two working facilities for diving.

02:32One is in Clark and the other is in Manila.

02:35So we want to get more and more divers

02:40from all over the Philippines.

02:43At this point, it's a bit difficult.

02:46So I'm calling on our local government

02:51to develop the sports facilities in their cities.

02:57I hope that it will be developed

02:59so that our different sports in the country can reach more people.

03:07Carl Velasco, for the Filipino athlete, for the new Philippines.
