00:00Now, we're going to talk about...
00:02It's not only good for the DE, it's also good for the Finals.
00:06Finals Rectum.
00:08Yes.
00:09That's not a place.
00:11That's JC.
00:12That's JC.
00:13Here in our Game 1 of the Finals.
00:15JC, congratulations.
00:17How are you?
00:19I feel like I can breathe again because we got Game 1.
00:23This is a momentum for us.
00:25I hope we can get it in the second game.
00:28We have a question.
00:29Because when it comes to the Finals,
00:31no matter how much you struggle in the Elimination Round,
00:34when it comes to the Finals, you get the momentum.
00:37It's like you really want to play here.
00:39Is that your mindset?
00:41Is that how you approach your Finals opportunity in Mapua?
00:47Like last season, I should stay composed
00:51this season until the Finals.
00:54We can't lose our focus now
00:57because last year, we made a few mistakes.
01:00We were pushed by BEDA.
01:02This time, I told myself that I'll do my best.
01:06I'll do everything.
01:07I'll just follow the defensive and offensive schemes of the coaching staff.
01:12I'll just play.
01:14I won't think of anything else but to play.
01:16JC, it's been an up and down season for you,
01:19production-wise, midway through.
01:22You got sick,
01:23and it was really hard for you to get back to the condition you wanted
01:27to get back to playing for Mapua.
01:30But now that you're in the Finals,
01:31would you say that you're 100%
01:34and you're ready to go at it again in Game 2?
01:38For me, I feel like I'm already there.
01:43It's like I'm about to peak,
01:45but I should still give my best performance in Game 1
01:48because we know that it won't be easy in Game 2
01:51because the build will be ready.
01:53We just have to expect that the build in the second game
01:58will be easier for us.
02:00What JC just told us,
02:02he's not even at his peak yet,
02:04but he's already at 15 points.
02:05He's still at his peak.
02:08Speaking of last season,
02:12we told Klain earlier,
02:14you were with the groups that had a heartbreak in Season 99, right?
02:19Yes.
02:20Coming of a win in Game 1,
02:22when Game 2 comes,
02:23what can you bring out
02:25to end this series?
02:27Game 3 is over,
02:28we're all out here.
02:29What can you bring out?
02:32For me, it's just the heart.
02:34And trust in each other,
02:37in our teammates.
02:38And we need to contribute
02:41in everything we do.
02:44Last season,
02:45we only used a few,
02:47Coach Randy only rotated a few.
02:49So, everything we do in the finals of Game 2,
02:53we'll contribute.
02:54We're all out.
02:5615 points in just 18 minutes.
02:58Are you saying that you'll be 30 next year,
03:00just like Klain?
03:01Yes, right?
03:02Is that true?
03:04It seems hard.
03:06Just kidding.
03:07There's no pressure.
03:08Of course, we know you'll do well,
03:10especially in Game 2.
03:11You've been in that type of situation before,
03:14and you're looking to close it out.
03:16JC, you have a lot of fans here.
03:18Say hi to them.
03:20First of all,
03:21I'd like to say hi to my family,
03:25family of Recto,
03:26family of Binosa,
03:27family of Caspe,
03:28family of Betito.
03:29I'd also like to say hi to the Mapuha community
03:32for your support.
03:33I hope you'll continue to support us in Game 2.
03:36I'd also like to say hi to the family crew,
03:39Boss AA.
03:40It's Boss AA's birthday today.
03:42I'd also like to say hi to Cong Mayor,
03:44JB Bernos,
03:45OneUM,
03:46Mapuha Global.
03:47Thank you for your support.
03:49And of course,
03:50I'd like to say hi to all the fans of Mindoro
03:52who are supporting us.
03:53That's all.
03:54Keep watching Game 2.
03:57JC, thank you so much.
03:59As you can see,
04:00they know that GMA 2 is airing
04:01because the list is complete.
04:03They can't miss it.
04:04They can't miss it.
04:05They'll get mad.
04:06You know that.
