00:07 Let's welcome Francis Munzayak.

00:10 Hi, Francis.

00:11 Hi.

00:12 Right now, what are you doing in the UK?

00:15 Currently, I'm a health care assistant

00:17 here in the United Kingdom.

00:19 My transition from basketball to health care

00:22 is a bit far, but eventually, day by day, time by time,

00:29 I'm adjusting.

00:30 Let's go back to basketball.

00:32 Since seven years old, I've been playing basketball.

00:34 Then I started playing varsity team.

00:37 I was in the 3rd and 4th grade in Jassoms.

00:38 Then I saw San Beda.

00:40 They recruited me.

00:41 From grade 5 to high school, I was in San Beda.

00:45 Then after I was in San Beda as a junior,

00:48 I got an EAC for college.

00:50 NCAA, so I studied EAC.

00:52 How many years were you in NCAA?

00:55 I played two years in high school, juniors.

00:58 And I played five years in NCAA, seniors.

01:01 So seven years total.

01:02 You were a kid in NCAA.

01:05 If you were to give us a memorable moment

01:09 from your NCAA career, what would it be?

01:12 My first is when we were back-to-back champions

01:14 in San Beda as juniors.

01:16 I was the game winner in NCAA against LPU.

01:20 Then my third is, which I will never forget,

01:24 I turned the ball over.

01:25 Our opponent was Mapua.

01:27 I was devastated because we lost.

01:31 It was all because of me.

01:32 So until now, I still carry the ball.

01:33 I can't forget it.

01:34 Until now, I can't watch it again.

01:36 What I brought to NCAA that was effective for me

01:40 was my physicality.

01:42 Because in NCAA, the game is very physical.

01:44 So when I got a pro or amateur,

01:46 my body was ready for physicality.

01:50 Maybe it was my maturity.

01:51 I matured in basketball.

01:53 What made you decide to move to the UK?

01:56 Maybe number one is the future.

01:59 For me, the future is here in the United Kingdom.

02:03 So that I can give back to my family

02:06 what they gave to me while I'm playing

02:08 in college and when I was a pro.

02:10 The pandemic was my turning point

02:14 to think and realize that basketball is not forever.

02:18 But would you say, Francis, that you maximized

02:22 your basketball career while you were there?

02:24 I'm counting the days I played basketball.

02:26 I really maximized it.

02:28 Since I was 7 years old, I've been playing basketball.

02:31 But even if you're in the UK,

02:33 you're still looking for basketball.

02:35 And for sure, you're also looking for basketball.

02:38 Tell us about the game in the UK.

02:42 The basketball here,

02:43 because the people here are also good.

02:45 They also have high basketball IQ.

02:48 So it's challenging because

02:51 I didn't leave the Philippines.

02:52 The only difference is the crowd.

02:56 The crowd in the Philippines is massive.

02:57 And the crowd there is wild.

02:59 It's not like here.

03:00 So you're still looking for basketball.

03:04 Actually, I'm just in denial that

03:06 I don't want to play basketball anymore.

03:07 But if there's basketball,

03:09 I'll just go to it even if I don't want to.

03:12 Our teammates are also Filipinos.

03:14 My teammate is Terrence Moster from San Beda.

03:16 And I also have a teammate here

03:18 who's my teammate in the MPBL,

03:20 Paulo Bautista.

03:21 So I'm still in the Philippines

03:23 because these two are here.

03:24 Let's put aside the serious questions.

03:26 Let's go to the light questions

03:29 that you were able to answer.

03:31 First, what are the top three first impressions

03:35 that they usually tell you?

03:37 They always tell me that I look like a kid.

03:40 But they always tell me that

03:43 they're surprised when they find out that

03:46 I was born in 1994 and I'm already 29.

03:49 They're always surprised.

03:51 And the other thing is that

03:52 I'm really picky about basketball.

03:57 Which is not true.

03:59 Thank you so much, Francis!

04:00 Good luck!

04:01 And keep on playing basketball, Francis!

04:03 Thank you!

04:04 Thank you so much!
