00:00Your stories speak not just of feats of athleticism, but your growth as a firm,
00:07relentless, and forever reaching your dreams like every Filipino. And we have
00:15invested in those dreams. We have tried to support the sports movement here in
00:21the Philippines. We have granted 52 million pesos for the preparation,
00:25training, and participation of Filipino athletes in the 2024 Paris Olympics. For
00:32this year alone, over 1.1 billion pesos in sports through the PSC has funded the
00:40aspirations and future of Filipino athletes. We continue to rehabilitate our
00:45major sports facilities such as the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex, the
00:49Field Sports Complex, to give our youth a fitting stage to improve and to show
00:54showcase their talents. And presently, we are finishing the National Academy of
01:00Sports System in Tarlac and the Philippine Sports Training Center in
01:05Bataan to train, to hone, and to develop present and aspiring athletes for future
01:11competitions. So on top of all these efforts, I direct the office of the
01:16Executive Secretary to release to the Philippine Sports Commission any funds
01:20to help support the preparation and participation of our athletes in these
01:24upcoming Olympics.
