00:12 Good morning, Ivan.
00:17 We are proud to announce that the athletes here at the 63rd Palarong Pambansa in Marikina City
00:24 are getting a chance to win.
00:27 The only thing that matters is that the athletes will win and their dreams will come true.
00:31 50-meter backstroke, 50-meter breaststroke, and 50-meter freestyle swimming.
00:39 These are the competitions that will be attended by Rod Warren, who has been a goalie for 10 years,
00:43 in the Palarong Pambansa that is taking place here in Marikina City.
00:47 Under the Para Games competition, Rod Warren will be competing and he will be the NCR's goalie.
00:52 His condition is autism, and he has never been a hurdle to become a champion in his field.
00:59 Rod Warren says that his parents have been able to see him swimming for 4 years.
01:04 At first, he was just playing in the pool.
01:10 After the pandemic, we resumed our daily training.
01:19 Coach saw him and he said, "Oh, Warren has a new talent."
01:30 Since the start of the competition, Rod Warren has won several competitions.
01:34 This year, he won from division to regional competition to be able to compete here in the Palarong Pambansa.
01:41 I'm living my daily life, I'm training, I'm taking care of him.
01:50 Rod Warren is one of the youngest competitors in the Para Games.
01:55 He is a supporter of his family who watches his games.
01:59 I don't want to expect anything, but I just said that we just enjoy the game.
02:05 The 3,000-meter girl secondary player from Western Visayas, Shane Ann, noticed him.
02:11 Unlike her other opponents and other players, Shane Ann does not wear shoes when running.
02:17 She is wearing a tape that she started wearing at 3 am.
02:22 I'm panting when I'm running because I'm not used to using a spike.
02:28 She wants to buy shoes for her mother, but she refuses.
02:33 I don't want to wear shoes, I have shoes, but I don't want to wear shoes.
02:41 She thinks that the absence of shoes is what makes her win.
02:45 From the first athletics competitions that she joined in Iloilo, where she came from.
02:50 I'm panting wherever I go. I can see that whenever I run, I'm really panting.
02:57 Rod Warren and Shane Ann are the proof that there is no obstacle as long as you want to win, whether in a game or in life.
03:04 Ivan, unfortunately, Shane Ann did not finish in the podium, but she is the fourth placer in the 300-meter girl secondary.
03:15 She is happy here because she somehow reached the national team that she has been dreaming of for a long time.
