00:00 And this, you'll be surprised, I'll say it myself, Mr. Al Francis Chua, this is true, okay?
00:07 You...
00:09 Definitely yes.
00:17 If we're going to talk about basketball, and that is the PBA, since 2015,
00:22 out of the 18 championships, out of the 18 titles that were given, 15 went to San Miguel.
00:32 One went to Rain or Shine, and then two to Talk and Tics.
00:38 So looking at that history, we'll see how San Miguel, especially Boss Ramon Ang and Boss Al Francis Chua,
00:47 are really born winners, are really bent in winning.
00:52 What about our national team?
00:54 We know the history of San Miguel when it comes to hosting or bankrolling our basketball team, especially our national team.
01:06 But the last time San Miguel held a national team, it was with Boss Dandinco Juanco.
01:17 The mandate, the order, the signature when it comes to the budget came from Boss Dandin.
01:24 So it's going to be a challenge now for Boss Ramon Ang because we know that Boss Ramon Ang is a sportsman,
01:32 car and motor.
01:35 But the basketball of Boss RS, that's there.
01:39 That's not missing. That's why they're the winningest team.
01:44 San Miguel, winningest team, right?
01:46 They have the winningest coach now in coach team code.
01:48 So that's not a question. Actually, if I'm the one you're asking,
01:53 the takeover of San Miguel in SBP and our GILAS program should have happened before the World Cup.
02:01 One year before the World Cup, we could have gotten a different campaign, a different result in the past World Cup.
02:11 So maybe San Miguel was forced to sit down because nothing is happening.
02:17 If I'm the one you're asking, don't say I'm in favor of San Miguel. I have a history with San Miguel.
02:23 I'm not making any allies here. I'm just telling the truth.
02:28 For me, the last step is for our GILAS program to improve, to rise,
02:37 so we can achieve what we want for our GILAS men's basketball team, this San Miguel.
02:44 I'm going to be disappointed if this fails again.
02:50 I hope that won't happen.
02:53 Because after the MVP group, we have no other choice but to manage our GILAS program.
03:02 And now, we're looking at San Miguel steering the wheel for our national team, which is a welcome development.
03:10 Because when it comes to basketball, when it comes to PBA, they're the ones who are getting excited.
03:15 They know that in NCAA, they're the ones who are getting excited.
03:19 San Miguel group are always 2, 3, 4, 5 steps ahead of the MVP group.
03:28 And now that they are with GILAS, the expectations of the people are the same.
03:33 And hopefully, we won't be disappointed here.
03:37 Another good development here is that San Miguel is taking the lead with the MVP group by its side.
03:48 That's the good thing, right?
03:51 This is going to be a partnership.
03:55 But I hope that in this partnership, it won't be a problem.
03:59 Like how I'm seeing it right now, the MVP group is allowing San Miguel to take over.
04:05 "You guys go ahead and drive. We can't have two drivers driving here."
04:10 "Turn left! Turn right!"
04:13 You know what will be good here?
04:17 Especially that with the personality of Alfrancisco Chua, he's a tyrant.
04:24 What he says should happen, that will be good.
04:28 But my only wish here is that Alfrancisco Chua's decision would be for the betterment of our national team.
04:36 And that, I challenge Alfrancisco Chua.
04:39 When it comes to the Philippine basketball landscape, you're perfect.
04:42 The international, you need to catch up on that because the war is different in the international than the local.
04:51 And now, our question here to Mr. Alfrancisco Chua.
04:55 Being the former official of the Basketball Coaches Association of the Philippines, are you open to having a foreign coach?
05:08 Won't your principal before, when it comes to hiring a coach, won't cloud your decision-making for the game?
05:21 Because basketball is now globalized.
05:23 Europeanized, they say.
05:26 If you don't know Euro kind of basketball, you'll be left behind.
05:32 And look at our neighbors.
05:34 Most of them, even here in Southeast Asia, they hire European coaches.
05:41 And that is what the country needs right now.
05:45 If we want to advance in the world, if we want to be able to be together in the world, we should get a European coach right after the Asian Games,
05:55 right after the tenure of Coach Tim Cohn.
05:58 Because it is imperative that we gain new technology when it comes to basketball because we were left behind.
06:06 We saw that during the World Cup.
06:08 And I hope you saw that too.
06:13 I'm sure you are basketball people.
06:16 And apart from that, I hope San Miguel should come up with a new pool of players that will be in the center of the field.
06:24 Because for one, it will affect your PBA teams if you keep on borrowing players from the league.
06:30 Remember, you have three teams there.
06:36 Or if we will remain in borrowing players from the PBA, Boss Al Francis Chua should now talk to the PBA and request that the league's schedule should be changed to adapt to the schedule of FIBA.
06:51 We know that Al Francis Chua is very influential when it comes to our PBA.
06:57 We should begin with that.
07:00 If we want San Miguel to be successful in our GILAS Pilipinas program, we will start with the PBA.
07:09 We will start with our foreign coach.
07:14 And right now, we can't say anything bad about San Miguel because they have just started.
07:19 But definitely, the fans would expect so much from this team come the Asian Games.
07:28 But right now, fans, this is what I'm telling you.
07:31 Their preparation was short.
07:34 They suddenly sat there.
07:36 Let's temper our expectations first.
07:39 The best is yet to come, hopefully, after the Asian Games.
07:45 And that's what we will be waiting for.
07:48 That's what we will focus on.
07:51 Every move, every decision that San Miguel will make through Boss Ramon Ang and Boss Al Francis Chua should be good for the Philippine basketball.
08:01 Because we will be left behind.
08:04 And you will be surprised.
08:07 I will say it myself, Mr. Al Francis Chua, this is true.
08:12 You are the hope of the Philippine basketball.
08:17 We are done with the past.
08:21 You are what we are looking at right now.
08:23 You are the one we are counting on to make the Philippine basketball program better.
08:30 You will be able to give the right players.
08:33 You will be able to use your contacts abroad.
08:35 Because you are the ones who will be the most effective agents when it comes to import.
08:39 We will be able to get field foreign players that we can include in the pool.
08:44 So with your money, with your influence, with your power,
08:49 I hope we will be able to achieve that.
08:51 Because we are always in contact.
08:52 Look at the number, the number is good but there is no passport by 16 years old.
08:55 And I hope you will be the way for those who are in Japan to come back to the Philippines.
09:03 I hope San Miguel will find a way to bring back the Asian imports to Japan, Korea and Taiwan.
09:11 Play for San Miguel or for Gilas.
09:14 And for now, let's bring back the strength of our country.
09:20 I hope SBP under the SMC group will be open to criticism.
09:26 If we are going to take it with a grain of salt, it will also help you.
09:31 We are not doing anything good here.
09:33 We are just airing, we are just echoing the sentiment of the public.
09:37 That's all my friends.
09:39 Thank you.
09:39 Thank you.
09:40 Thank you.
09:40 Thank you.
09:41 Thank you.
09:41 Thank you.
09:42 Thank you.
09:42 Thank you.
