00:00At our sports banter, we were visited by our teammates from Perlas of Silangan Basketball Leagues.
00:07I'm here with Sir Christian Enzomo and Sir Nato Agbayani, the founder and co-founder of Sir Nato.
00:15Good morning, gentlemen.
00:17Good morning.
00:19Thank you for coming this morning on a Monday.
00:22On a Monday, it's a pleasure.
00:23Thank you for inviting us.
00:24But let's talk about your league.
00:27Sir Christian, what is the concept behind Perlas of Silangan Basketball League?
00:34The concept of Perlas of Silangan Basketball League is to create this platform to connect the youth or the kids
00:43and to prepare them going up if they really want to develop their passion into a career,
00:49then this is the platform they need to go to.
00:52So that was the whole concept of Perlas of Silangan Basketball League.
00:56Do you play basketball?
00:59I used to play.
01:01It's just that during my time, not so long ago, we don't have current leagues yet.
01:11So from us, we're only up to the barangay level.
01:14And after that, it's the schools.
01:17So Perlas of Silangan wants to bridge that platform wherein the kids,
01:21as young as 8 all the way to 15, 17 years old,
01:25will have the platform to showcase their skills and talents.
01:28How did you come up with this?
01:30I mean, it's very challenging to tap the LGUs, right?
01:35Correct.
01:36So what was the drive?
01:37Who helped you to reach these teams?
01:43Well, a lot of people really helped.
01:47And this is not a one-man show, a two-man show,
01:50but it's a group of people who share the same vision and the same passion.
01:53I think logistically, it's a nightmare to set up this kind of event.
01:58But with the help of people who share the vision,
02:02so we are currently on 12 regions right now, this season one,
02:06and hopefully by next season, we will cover the whole of the regions.
02:11You mentioned the vision.
02:12What is the vision of your tournament?
02:15Our vision for Perlas of Silangan Basketball League is to really be on all the regions.
02:22So what will happen come season two is we will have each of the province having qualifiers,
02:28and then each of the champions from the province will go to a regional championship,
02:32and then regional championship will go to the nationals,
02:35and then we will have an international tournament at the end of each of the season.
02:40You mentioned that you have a lot of teams in this league.
02:44What is the tournament format?
02:47So our tournament format is a single round,
02:51and we have a total of seven age categories, as young as 8 years old to 11,
02:56so that's the youngest, up to 21 years old.
02:59So our tournament format is single round,
03:02and then the top teams will go to the semis, and then to the national level.
03:07You mentioned the logistics.
03:09Where are the venues of your games?
03:12Our venues, so we started in Araneta Coliseum when we were starting,
03:18and another thing na katulong natin dito is yung mga LGUs.
03:22So most of the regions, they partner with an LGU,
03:25and the LGU really helped in setting up the venues and giving us the venues
03:30so that it's really accessible for our players and also dun sa mga manonood.
03:35Thank you, sir. Kusyamputan naman ako, sir Nato.
03:37Sir Nato, ano ba yung paano ba sumali dito?
03:41Is it a selection process? Is it a registration process?
03:44So what happens is we have regional partners,
03:48and then they get the teams from the local regions.
03:51They cooperate with the LGUs.
03:53Pwede siyang teams, pwedeng basketball clubs, pwedeng school-based.
03:58So they join, and the regional partners, nangkakaroon ng playoffs.
04:03Like what's happening now, that's happening everywhere.
04:06So we have practically 12 regions playing all at the same time.
04:13So simultaneously, meron mga games.
04:15So once they qualify, ano na, buon na kasi yung mga teams.
04:19Like what you're showing now is like, I think this is northern Mindanao.
04:23So we have everywhere, everywhere talaga.
04:27And then once they qualify, they do their own tryouts.
04:31Then they have their own teams.
04:33Okay, so may qualifying po pala.
04:35Ito napanggat ni Sir Christian, may from 8 years old to 11.
04:39So how do you categorize?
04:41Merong age groups.
04:42Under 11, 13, under 15, under 17, 19, and then under 21.
04:48Then we have 22 and up.
04:50That's the medyo professional.
04:52So if you notice, it's really a development league.
04:55So pangbata talaga siya.
04:57We want to really develop the talents of the young people.
05:01Well, primarily because 20% of the young kids want to play basketball.
05:08But then again, 20% ng kabataan natin have mental health issues.
05:12That's why we're trying to do this intervention, itong advocacy natin.
05:18Not just for sports, but for total, parang tagline nga namin is building champions for life.
05:24Right, wow.
05:25So it's not just the sport, it's also the mental toughness and everything else that comes with it.
05:30Ang dami pong different basketball leagues na umuusbog ngayon
05:35with the same concept, under 17, under 15, under 13.
05:39So what makes Perlas ng Silangan different from these?
05:42Kasi sa Perlas ng Silangan, we have five pillars.
05:47So ando na yung physical, mental, even spiritual health and personal advancement.
05:54So kinokonek din namin yung mga players eventually if they want to become sports athletes
06:00so they can finish school and they can become very successful in life.
06:04So yun nga yung building or nurturing champions for life
06:08which is I think the most important part of it.
06:11It's not just winning the game, madaling yun.
06:13You can win the game, you can be competitive physically
06:18but at the end of the day, we really want total parang development for the kids.
06:23And Perlas ng Silangan Sports Ventures Inc. is a multi-sport platform.
06:29PSBL or Perlas ng Silangan Basketball is just our first project.
06:34We're coming up with 3-on-3 with very professional and veteran coaches.
06:41We're coming up with hopefully by next year, volleyball.
06:45We have our national championships in January.
06:49So we'll be holding it in three cities. Sinabi na yun.
06:53So it's going to be in Iloilo and Pakolod also in Dipolong.
06:59So nabanggit mo kanina na you're trying to develop the skills and talents of these kids
07:04pero hindi natin maiwasan.
07:06One thing is, studyante pa tong mga to.
07:08Under 17, 15, 13, how do you manage?
07:11Isa ba yung liga tapos papasok sila sa skwelahan?
07:14So mostly our games are weekends, done on weekends.
07:19Sa Filipino basketball, kasi there's also what you call coach culture.
07:26Yung coach culture natin kailangan natin i-develop.
07:29They follow their coaches.
07:31So based on that, nakakapagtulungan tayo.
07:35Nabanggit mo din po na you're trying to develop yung kanilang mental health,
07:39not only the physical conditioning. How do you do that?
07:42So we have partnered with certain organizations to really address mental health issues.
07:47So we have coaches, we have life coaches joining.
07:50We have other organizations on mental health na nakakatulong
07:55during the overall conduct of the games.
08:00And then there's values formation also that's included.
08:04The commissioner sa inyo po ma-tournament ay si Coach Rodney Santos.
08:08Well, alam naman natin na isa siya sa mga legends.
08:11But what does he have for you na parang siya ang ginawa yung commissioner para sa league na ito?
08:17Well, he's the only option that we can think of prior.
08:21Because alam naman natin si Rodney is one of the top players sa PBA during his heyday.
08:27And also I think siya rin yung pinakam, well, not all,
08:32but isa siya sa talagang na-kep yung integrity niya all throughout his career.
08:37And now as a commissioner of not just Perlas but also other leagues.
08:41So plus the values that he's shown us, yun kasi yung gusto namin i-share din sa mga bata.
08:47So they look up to Rodney and see that this is how a player should be.
08:52So yun din yung nakita namin sa kanya, hence why he's the commissioner right now.
08:56Well, personally, I'm very happy to know yung vision and mission and what your advocacy is,
09:03lalo na para sa mga batang atleta natin.
09:06Now this is your chance po, if you have any message, you can also invite people
09:11where they can watch your games or follow you in the social media.
09:15You can do it po, go ahead.
09:17Alright, so everyone, una-una maraming salamat.
09:21And for the people, maraming salamat sa supporta sa season one ng Perlas Ang Silangan Basketball League.
09:28And we would like to take this opportunity to invite everyone.
09:32By January 2025 is our national championship.
09:35It will be a Tri-City event.
09:39And we hope to see you there.
09:40So it will be in Iloilo, Bacolod, and Dipolog City po.
09:44So kita-kita po tayo January 2025.
09:48Thank you, PTV Sports.
09:49Just like what Christian said, magkita-kita po tayo.
09:52Watch our games on Perlas Ang Silangan Basketball League.
