00:00Today, we will be joining the Philippines for the 2024 ICF Dragon World Boat World Championships

00:08which will take the country to one of the biggest international dragon boat racing competitions.

00:14We will be joined live here in the studio by the world champions.

00:20The team captain of the Men's Team Philippine Canoe, Kayak and Dragon Boat Federation, OJ Fuentes.

00:27Also, the paddler of the Philippine Canoe, Kayak and Dragon Boat Federation, Edmund Katapong, Nelson Cordova, and Rogelio De Borja.

00:36Good morning and welcome to the ICF Dragon World Championships.

00:40How are you preparing for the upcoming competition, the 2024 ICF Dragon Boat World Championships?

00:47As of now, we are prepared already.

00:50Oh, you're already prepared.

00:51We are already prepared for the upcoming competition.

00:57So, we are just waiting for the day when we will be able to play.

01:02That's how it is.

01:03Those who are already ready to win.

01:06They are 100% ready.

01:08You said that you are ready.

01:09Let's talk about your preparation.

01:12So, how many months of preparation do you need before you can compete in a world championship?

01:17It depends on the people who will join us.

01:20There are a lot of struggles before joining us.

01:25Some of our teammates are in the military, so we haven't been able to join them yet.

01:30We are still separated.

01:32Three months ago, we were able to join them.

01:36I'm not mistaken.

01:38Just three months ago?

01:40Yes, but we haven't been able to join them yet.

01:43They have their own training.

01:46We give them our pouches and programs so that they won't be left behind in our training.

01:54Where do you usually train?

01:56Right now, we are based in Taytay, Rizal.

01:59That's where we train.

02:02So, you're the team captain.

02:04Yes, ma'am.

02:05What about the other members here?

02:07How are you guys preparing?

02:09What is the mindset going through the competition?

02:12Sir?

02:15We are preparing to focus and rest well.

02:22It's really a fight.

02:26It's just a fight.

02:28You mentioned earlier that you have your teammates in the military.

02:31What are your professions and what do you do for your training?

02:37Aside from what you normally do.

02:39Day job.

02:41We are athlete soldiers.

02:43We are trained there.

02:45There are two of us.

02:47I'm in the Air Force.

02:49Oh, that's working.

02:51I'm in the Air Force and she's in the Army.

02:53Oh, okay.

02:55We were trained by the Armed Forces Special Service.

02:58So, after that, we are going to the PCKF for training.

03:10Sir Rogelio, do you have a diet that you follow?

03:14Is there anything that you are not allowed to eat?

03:16Or can you only eat during training?

03:18Everything?

03:20Yes, everything.

03:22We really need to eat so that we can have a strong body.

03:29Because it's evident.

03:31We can see their physique.

03:33Yes, and he's in the Army and the Air Force.

03:37But I wonder, how many competitions do you have?

03:41Because you already have a title as a world champion.

03:43For me, I've been competing since I was 15 years old.

03:47So, I'm 26 years old.

03:49So, almost every year, there's a competition.

03:51And this is my third world championship in the Dragon Boat in Sanian.

03:57So, my teammates are also like that.

04:01Okay, so you've been together for a long time.

04:03Yes.

04:05Dragon Boat Racing is not that familiar, right?

04:07For events like this, especially here in the Philippines,

04:11how much does it help for our countrymen to recognize this sport?

04:17Go ahead.

04:19Microphone.

04:23They're shy.

04:25They're shy.

04:27For this kind of world championships that are held here in our country,

04:33how much does it help for our countrymen to recognize this sport,

04:37which is canoe and kayak?

04:43Go ahead, coach.

04:45Because you've been to many world championships.

04:49Actually, this world championship that will be held in the Philippines,

04:53this is the first time in the Philippines,

04:57and of course, the host country of the Philippines.

05:01This is also the first time in the whole Asia.

05:03So, this is a big event.

05:05And of course, this helps our environment,

05:09so that the cleanliness is good,

05:11and everyone is united.

05:13Especially, our sport is a team.

05:17So, there.

05:19And tourism.

05:21Yes.

05:23In fact, how many countries will join this competition?

05:2720 plus countries, including European, Russian, and Australian,

05:35will go to the Philippines.

05:39I have a question, Diana.

05:41What is the team-to-beat country?

05:43The one that you're having a hard time?

05:45The Philippines.

05:47Yes.

05:49Of course, this is a big event,

05:51so all the countries are preparing.

05:53We are also under a lot of pressure.

05:57Especially, we are the host country.

05:59The Philippines is the host country.

06:01So, it's a tough battle.

06:03This is a big challenge for us.

06:05So, we need to prove it.

06:07Because in other countries, we are the world champions.

06:09Especially here.

06:11So, we need to prove that we are the strongest.

06:15Team-to-beat.

06:17But who is the defending champion in this competition?

06:19It depends on the categories.

06:21There are so many categories and events.

06:23So, when and where will this be held?

06:25How can we support you?

06:27This will be held in Puerto Princesa, Palawan.

06:31From October 28 to November 4.

06:35November 4.

06:37Good luck to you.

06:39Good luck.

06:41We will support you.

06:43We will be the world champions.

06:45All the best and good luck.

06:47Good luck in the upcoming competition.

06:51We hope that you will win gold in that competition.

06:53Thank you very much for your time.
