00:00 We are joined by these two gentlemen.
00:03 Coach, I'll go first.
00:05 Okay, I'll go first, Coach.
00:07 Okay, first of all, I want to know what's going through your mind right now
00:13 after bringing back the crown to your alma mater.
00:18 First of all, I want to thank God, of course, for giving us the opportunity.
00:23 The Sambeda community, Boss MVP, and Father Aloy, thank you very much.
00:30 To all the monks and priests of Sambeda, thank you very much.
00:32 I'm speechless.
00:37 It's really the players.
00:39 They're the ones who decided that they wanted to take this path to win this championship.
00:45 They started working hard even before the season started, way back January.
00:51 We started in January, and that's when I saw in them that there were struggles,
00:56 there were adversity, but they remained resilient through all of it.
01:01 They're guys who left.
01:03 I told them, "If we win this championship, I'm going to be really proud of them,
01:11 and they deserve this."
01:13 After all that has happened last year and this year, even the year before I came.
01:20 These are the guys who stayed, the guys who believe in themselves,
01:25 the guys who believe in the coaching staff, all the coaching staff.
01:29 Again, I want to thank also my coaching staff.
01:31 I'm very lucky to have Coach Norman, Coach Boyet, all the other coaches,
01:35 Coach Francis, Coach Alex, Coach Jakes, Coach Andre.
01:39 Thank you very much.
01:41 If I can just share this, let's share it here.
01:44 There you go.
01:45 Our Coach of the Year, Coach Urias Cueta.
01:47 Coach, thank you very much and congratulations.
