00:00 Sadly, in our country, many of our youth are victims of abuse and violence.
00:08 It's good that there are groups that are ready to help the young victims.
00:13 Just like the group we met, aside from guiding and helping them in their studies,
00:19 they are also taught different sports, like football.
00:24 This is what they are going through to be able to rise up from the abyss of violence.
00:30 This is the story of Andrew Pertiara.
00:33 We all have our own preferences when it comes to sports.
00:38 People have different reasons why they play sports.
00:42 It can be leisure, to hang out with friends, or to be healthy and fit.
00:50 But there are others who do it for their own sake and to help the young victims.
00:57 [Music]
01:15 [Applause]
01:21 Teach them young. That's one thing that can be taught to the youth today, to be involved in sports.
01:27 Aside from enjoying sports, their skills in sports will also be tested, just like football.
01:34 But it's not just a game, because it's a way to help them achieve their dreams.
01:42 Play for Goal is the goal of a non-government organization called Football for Humanity
01:48 to help the youth avoid wrong and harmful actions.
01:53 Chris is one of the founders of Football for Humanity, which was also played in England.
02:00 Instead of always going abroad, he has a deep reason why he decided to come here to the Philippines.
02:08 I think, when I see the natural disasters in the Philippines, particularly in 2013, typhoon Yolanda,
02:15 I felt like I needed to do something. I had some friends over in the Philippines as well,
02:19 and I just felt there was a calling. Sometimes I needed to do something.
02:22 I just came to the Philippines and I could see what I might be of help.
02:26 I felt that's the main thing that triggered the response for me to come here.
02:29 And when I came here into the Philippines, I met with the right people, and Football for Humanity was then born.
02:35 And when he arrived here in our country, he was amazed at the potential he saw in Filipinos.
02:41 Filipinos are very passionate about playing football as well.
02:44 And there's so much untapped talent. The potential is huge.
02:48 So if the right investments went into football at the higher level, you would see this country become a football country.
02:54 From the grassroots level, you can see a huge amount of talent which needs to be nurtured, it needs to be tapped.
03:00 So I think the Philippines is going to be good in the future.
03:04 Put your other foot here.
03:06 I also met Coach Donna, one of the coaches and advisors for the kids who want to play football.
03:13 She got to know Football for Humanity because of her two friends, Coach Rhea and Coach Richie.
03:18 They are the original coaches of Football for Humanity of Montalban, Sarizan.
03:22 The reason why I got to know Football for Humanity was because of one of my very good friends,
03:30 who is now with Papa Jesus up there.
03:34 They were married by accident.
03:36 But before he passed away, Coach Rhea and Coach Richie introduced me to FFH
03:41 because I was with them when they were coaching in Montalban.
03:44 We have kids that we are taking care of.
03:46 During that time, she was already orientated to FFH.
03:49 She said, "This is good, this is a big help to the kids."
03:52 Then I didn't expect that an accident would happen.
03:55 The accident happened in November 2021.
03:59 It was a truck accident. They were hit by a truck.
04:02 Then I happened to pass by a truck.
04:04 When she was taken to the hospital, her husband was already dead on arrival.
04:09 The coaches left their three children.
04:14 KD is only two years old.
04:16 This one is five years old.
04:18 Then Bunsu is only one month old.
04:20 Then this one is five years old.
04:22 We didn't tell them at first because they might be shocked that their parents and Papa are gone.
04:30 Do you miss Mama and Papa?
04:32 Yes.
04:33 Where are they now?
04:34 In Bebel.
04:35 How was it? Are you having fun?
04:37 Yes.
04:38 How about you?
04:39 JM, are you having fun?
04:40 So why football?
04:41 Why do you want to play football?
04:43 It's fun.
04:45 Do you want to be a football player?
04:47 And now, Coach Donna is also getting inspiration from them.
04:52 Because they're the reason why I'm here.
04:55 Our three babies.
04:57 That's when I realized that this is what I want.
04:59 I love football more because there's a reason to continue coaching.
05:04 And I can still play sometimes.
05:07 The local government of Montalban is also a member of the Non-Government Organization or NGO.
05:13 It's the principle of our town.
05:15 Sports is a path.
05:17 It helps our townspeople who love sports.
05:20 Our youth really want to play sports.
05:24 I just want to advise parents of youth who want to be athletes.
05:29 Give them a chance to explore themselves in the field of sports.
05:36 This can be a path for them to have a free education.
05:40 And in the end, they can become professionals someday.
05:43 Just like the star player of Montalban, Princess.
05:48 She's a part of the national team of Futsal.
05:52 And she also plays football.
05:54 The difference between Futsal and football is that it's a small-sided indoor football.
05:59 And it's played by fewer players.
06:01 How many years have you been playing Futsal?
06:04 I've been playing Futsal for 6 years.
06:07 I was really surprised by my coaches.
06:10 They taught me that I can still play until now.
06:17 She tried different sports but she seems to be in love with Futsal.
06:22 What influenced you to coach Donna?
06:25 A lot.
06:26 She was also one of the people who pushed me to continue.
06:31 When they first saw me playing in the national team,
06:36 I was really happy.
06:43 I was a kid.
06:45 They will see their daughter playing in the Philippines.
06:59 I haven't played football for a long time.
07:01 But I will not miss the chance to play and learn from Princess.
07:06 Of course, I need to stretch first.
07:09 Let's go!
07:27 My goal for this video is to score.
07:56 But because my teammates are good at football,
07:59 it's hard for me to score.
08:02 But of course, I will not give up.
08:06 It seems that our opponent's goalkeeper is good.
08:10 Until...
08:20 Goal!
08:25 Goal!
08:26 A lot of people are now playing football.
08:33 It's not just a sport.
08:36 Because of the development of the Senegro Oriental,
08:39 many young people are helping and making it fun.
08:44 Young people are looking for hope in football.
08:49 Just like Gerald.
08:52 He was born without hands.
08:54 But it did not stop him from playing football.
08:59 I chose football because I have friends who are easygoing.
09:06 If there is a problem, I will decide to follow it.
09:11 So that I can become a good player like Coach Peter.
09:13 But according to Gerald,
09:15 it was possible for him to play football with the help of his idol coach, Coach Peter.
09:22 I saw in Gerald that he is eager.
09:25 If he wants something, he will pursue it.
09:29 He wants to play football, he wants to join the team.
09:32 He wants to play every day. He is a smart kid.
09:34 He is not only good at passing and juggling the ball,
09:38 he is also good at painting.
09:40 He also has a surprise for our team.
09:44 My favorite talent is the 'Kuanra'.
09:51 I am good at painting and drawing.
09:58 Not only the people like Gerald who were helped by Coach Peter,
10:02 but also the young victims of online sexual abuse and exploitation of children,
10:08 also have the mission to help the group.
10:10 Our team member, Girlie, did not continue her name.
10:14 Last month, I was told that if I will be videocalled,
10:20 I will be forced to stay in my room.
10:21 I was forced to stay in my room because I have to appeal for my tuition fees.
10:28 I was forced to wear my clothes and nude pics.
10:33 But until now, the victims have not been caught.
10:38 But through football, it helps them forget the dark past.
10:44 Their coaches also did not let them go.
10:49 In school, the number of victims of online sexual abuse of children is increasing.
10:57 Because we are watching the social media,
11:01 football and football for humanity can help them avoid being victims of online sexual abuse and exploitation of children.
11:11 They can have a good life and a good health.
11:16 We are church-based, so we can develop their spiritual aspects of life.
11:20 They can help their parents in the near future through football,
11:25 so they can have free scholarships and become varsity players.
11:29 My acquaintances proved to me that there are times when you are forced to face trials.
11:37 But this is also the time to be strong and to rise up.
11:43 And face life with hope in every step.
11:48 According to the famous saying, youth is the hope of the people.
11:54 So let us guide the next generation to the right path.
