'Abante babae!'
Maging sa larangan ng sports, umaabante rin ang mga babae. Hidilyn Diaz, Alex Eala, ilan lamang sila sa mga Filipina na ipinakita ang husay sa larangan ng sports.
Ngunit sa kabila nito, karamihan pa rin ng kababaihan sa sports ay nakakaranas ng diskriminasyon dahil sa pagiging "babae" nila.
Paano at bakit nga ba? Alamin sa video na ito.

00:10 At the Tokyo Olympics 2021,
00:12 Hygeline Diaz won the country's first gold medal in weightlifting.
00:18 In sports tennis,
00:20 the Filipino team's manager Alex Ayala
00:22 has the highest rank in Southeast Asia
00:26 and was a three-time Grand Slam winner in his career.
00:29 The Filipino team was also all-out in the FIFA Women's World Cup.
00:34 This is just a few of the women who have continued to bring recognition to our country.
00:40 But despite the successes of our Filipino athletes,
00:45 some still experience what are called gender barriers.
00:49 Someday, the sports that we thought would be difficult to do,
00:54 they are the ones who recognize that they are good at these sports.
01:00 Actually, all men can do it, even women.
01:04 One of the gender equality objectives of the International Olympic Committee
01:08 is to achieve a 50-50 ratio of men and women in participation and leadership in sports.
01:16 But the Philippines has not yet reached this goal.
01:20 That's why I'm talking to different NSA to promote their women athletes.
01:26 They should be an equal number.
01:28 But if you have 10 male athletes, there should be at least 10 female athletes for equal.
01:34 And we hope to get to that point.
01:37 In order for women to reach the finish line and enter sports,
01:42 we met some of the people who are pursuing their dreams.
01:48 [music]
01:52 Dream Big
01:53 Because of the PFF Women's League,
01:55 the 18-year-old Raya Tolentino was able to play for the Girls National Football Team.
02:02 Raya was born in Cebu and she is a player of the Manila Nomads group of the PFF League.
02:07 I think it all started when I got into the U-16 National Team.
02:11 I think that's when I first got recognized nationally.
02:14 Thanks to that, I was invited by Coach Shane to play for Manila Nomads.
02:18 In one of the tournaments, I played against the coach of Ateneo, his team, and that's where he scouted me.
02:24 She admitted that the local sports competitions are still lacking
02:28 so that the future of developed provinces like hers can be seen.
02:33 I want the sport to grow here in the country because there's really talent within the Philippines.
02:38 We need more support, especially for those locally.
02:43 I feel like we need more support for those local girls, like those from the province,
02:48 because we really have talent.
02:51 Coach Aguing Rubio has a strong passion for sports even when she was young.
02:58 I was just an ordinary kid, but I really loved to play.
03:02 I used to play basketball, track and field, softball, and all other sports.
03:08 But because of the lack of programs for other sports in the province,
03:15 I went to play football, which I'm happy about because football was the reason why I got a sports scholarship in the U-16 National Team.
03:29 I was able to graduate as a scholar.
03:32 For Coach Aguing, sports changed her life.
03:35 At that time, the Unigames was the strongest.
03:38 But in the Unigames, we had a chance to play for the UAAT schools.
03:44 That's when I discovered my coach in the U-16 National Team.
03:48 But my thinking at that time was, "I want to play for the National Team."
03:54 So, I don't know, because of my desire to play for the National Team,
03:59 the University offered me a bigger opportunity in the future.
04:03 So, my scholarship in the University was like a backbone.
04:09 I was able to graduate from there.
04:10 And the work that I have now is because of the University.
04:15 She formed the PFF or the Philippine Football Federation to organize competitions and form the Girls National Team.
04:24 She became an inspiration to give opportunities to the new generations of girls like Raya.
04:33 "Never Say Die" is the cry of the teen volleyball players of Sacred Heart School in Ateneo de Cebu.
04:42 Most of them dream of playing in urban cities or even in the UAP and NCAA.
04:50 I realized that there are so many phenomenal female athletes right now like Eliza Valdez.
04:55 And just seeing them soar high and go beyond what society has set for us women, it inspired me a lot. And here I am now.
05:02 That's why even though they are on vacation, the Magis Eagles Volleyball Team continues to practice.
05:10 According to Athletics Director John Inot, it's not just about moral support,
05:15 but also financial support that the female athletes need to use.
05:20 That's actually a hard question for all the programs.
05:25 Right now, what we have, of course, the school is supporting the different programs, but again, the budget is in a way limited.
05:35 The good thing, the parent support group are also helping out.
05:40 So yeah, primarily the support, the financial support comes from the school and the parents.
05:47 That's why as long as there are people who are pushing for sports to continue until college,
05:52 their school is also ready to support their players.
05:57 It's really different when it comes to the number one sport in the Philippines.
06:05 Everyone is excited and enjoying.
06:07 We see a lot of girls who are interested in learning a lot of sports,
06:12 and basketball is one of them.
06:14 They are very enthusiastic to learn and meet other friends, especially to learn the discipline, the teamwork.
06:22 We are also enjoying it, the same time.
06:24 They are learning sports that they thought they couldn't do before.
06:29 Some of the parents who joined the basketball camp are also happy to watch and support.
06:35 I'm really happy.
06:37 I'm happy because it's another skill that they will learn here in this camp.
06:47 The sports clinic or courtyard like this is a big step to introduce to the girls that they don't have to spend money
06:58 to dream of becoming used to their favorite sport.
07:03 This court serves as a community building place for female bowlers who dream of one day
07:14 to become a player, a coach, or a part of basketball in any way.
07:19 Media, statistician, anything, team managers, PT, all of that are welcome to play here in the courtyard.
07:28 And again, it's free for everyone.
07:30 There are time slots for female bowlers only to use the court.
07:34 This is something really big for all of us.
07:37 In their passion for running and the skill of passing the ball,
07:44 the young people of Negros Occidental are already playing rugby early in the morning.
07:50 There is no hiding the joy and joy in every point they get.
07:55 In the middle of the heat and rain, the fight continues.
07:59 Coach Jenjen Malayo is one of the trainers of the kids who are interested in rugby.
08:05 Jen admitted that it was hard for them to introduce this sport to their local community.
08:10 Our sports development here in Negros is not that big yet.
08:16 However, we are trying our best to spread the sport here in Negros.
08:22 Although it's hard to establish, rugby is considered as one of the contact sports.
08:31 And it's dangerous, especially for the kids.
08:35 But more than just getting to know each other,
08:37 the importance of rugby in the society is also taught to the young players.
08:43 We're simply trying to introduce the game itself.
08:47 We also want to show the good side of rugby, which is to emphasize the rugby values that are taught to us.
08:54 We're establishing this and it's also the foundation of our character development.
09:00 For Yui, rugby is just a part of the club or extracurricular activity of their school.
09:06 I don't know if I have a house, but I have a lot of things to do.
09:09 I want to be with my friends or classmates so that I can be included in rugby.
09:15 But because of the support that her parents are showing, she's just fighting for it.
09:21 I'm just trying to do my best to help my parents.
09:33 I want to go to high school so that I can go to Japan and play rugby there.
09:38 The coaches and development officers of the Negros Rugby Team are all out training amateur athletes in different schools
09:48 so that rugby can be included in the national game.
09:51 We talked personally to the principals.
09:56 We also have before, we invited PE teachers to train them so that they know what is the sport,
10:05 what is the program all about.
10:07 And now, the schools are open for us to train after class.
10:15 So we're happy.
10:16 Last month, I sent a survey to women, including athletes, coaches and groups,
10:23 about the participation of women in the field of sports.
10:27 In the online survey we did, it turned out that 74.3% of the answers experienced a lack of financial support when it comes to girls' sports programs.
10:39 67.6% of the answers gave priority to men's sports.
10:45 While 66.2% of the answers believed that there was a lack of professional support and a wider opportunity when it comes to women's sports.
10:57 In fact, actually, there will be a lot of sacrifices, especially for the women.
11:02 And it's not only that.
11:04 The women, because they get married, right?
11:07 When they get married, do they continue with the sports?
11:10 And then they have children.
11:12 What happens to it?
11:14 That's also probably one setback why there are less female athletes.
11:19 Because there will be a lot of sacrifices that they have to go through.
11:23 Despite the small number of women in the field of sports,
11:27 the PSC Commissioner on Women in Sports, Bong Ku, still believes that the number of women in sports has already reached a far-off level.
11:35 Like in combat sports.
11:37 That's why we pushed on combat sports.
11:40 It's a sport that is open for women.
11:44 It's not like it's only for men.
11:48 Neste Petesio, for boxing.
11:51 She's been very popular and very active.
11:55 Gymnastics, there's a lot of good females because of the rhythmic gymnastics.
12:04 We've come a long way and we'll go even further if we can give a wide range of opportunities and opportunities to compete even with the men.
12:14 Game on!
12:15 I am Vigo and I stand for truth.
