00:48and the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League.

00:52I want to support every sport.

00:54That's the only thing I can do because the government doesn't have money to spend on me.

01:00Our budget is limited.

01:02But at least we have programs to start on how to be a legacy in sports.

01:11Pacquiao also emphasized how important it is for athletes to develop at the grassroots level

01:18because he believes that this is the key to the success of the next sports superstars in the country.

01:24We really need to develop at the grassroots level because we cannot produce a quality player, a quality athlete

01:31if we don't start at the grassroots level.

01:36That's important.
