00:00 I hope this is not a stopgap measure to get through the Asian Games,
00:04 but I hope this is the start of a new era for the Philippines.
00:09 I think we could have prepared better for the Asian Games.
00:18 We're going back to the pool, we were talking about it before,
00:21 that it should be a 21-month pool, at least 30.
00:25 If they were able to create a 30-month pool in June, they could have split it up.
00:30 It's like the World Cup and Asian Games teams are fighting at the same time
00:35 so they can prepare before their actual tournament.
00:41 That's what I thought was top of mind, how they could have prepared better.
00:46 Sir Alphan Lio said that they want to make a decision after the World Cup.
00:52 I think that's why they had an emergency meeting to at least appease the fans.
00:57 It's not just the World Cup that they're thinking about.
00:59 I understand that the World Cup is the biggest sporting event that we're hosting,
01:03 but of course, we should have prepared better for the Asian Games.
01:08 I hope this Thursday, we'll have a good time listening to the players and the coaches.
01:14 I hope this is not a stopgap measure to get through the Asian Games,
01:18 but a start of a new phase for the Filipino game.
01:24 Thank you.
