00:00PTV Sports is back and today we'll be talking live with Mr. Chris Bautista, the President of the Philippines Super League.

00:11Good morning.

00:13You're still beautiful in the morning.

00:15We're happy that you allowed us to interview you this morning. I'm sure it's very early in the morning.

00:21There's no choice.

00:23Were you trapped by us?

00:27It's only 3am and Mark is already calling me.

00:30It's just a reminder.

00:32Good job, Mark.

00:34Coach, PSL's Presidents' Cup is coming up.

00:38What should our fans and basketball enthusiasts expect?

00:42The opening is on December 21, right?

00:44This Saturday, of course.

00:48It's totally different from our last season's opening.

00:54Our last season was really great because it was November.

01:00We had a guest, Bamboo, and we had 19 teams.

01:06But this time, since the opening was moved to December,

01:13we're getting closer to Christmas.

01:15So we have 12 teams.

01:17And then for the opening, it's a short opening ceremony.

01:21But this time, I invited the crowd.

01:28Instead of inviting the celebrities,

01:34we're going to give gift packs and rice to the audience.

01:42Maybe the first 500, or it depends.

01:46They're the ones who will receive it.

01:49It's your yearly tradition to give gifts.

01:55But this season of PSL's Presidents' Cup,

01:58how is it different from the last season

02:00and from other professional basketball tournaments?

02:02It's almost the same as other tournaments.

02:07But this time, like I said, last year we had 19 teams.

02:12But this time, it's only 12 teams.

02:16And then, our collaboration with MPBL was great.

02:22Our schedule didn't overlap.

02:27So, thank you to MPBL.

02:31Because in our collaboration with MPBL,

02:35with Sen. Manny Pacquiao and Governor Claudio Bautista,

02:40we're continuing it.

02:42They have rules that are not allowed.

02:48So, we're applying for a gentleman's agreement.

02:53Is this the usual format of basketball?

02:56It's almost the same format.

03:00Since we have 12 teams,

03:04there might be no elimination.

03:07There might be a top 4 advance to the quarterfinals.

03:10There might be a play-in to the down to the finals.

03:18Let's talk about Depcom.

03:21Depcom's Deputy Commissioner Jerry Esplana was last season.

03:25But this time, he's the commissioner.

03:29Comm. Allan said goodbye to us.

03:34Last season,

03:36something happened to his wife.

03:40His wife passed away.

03:43At that time, he really wanted to resign.

03:45He was confused.

03:48But his daughters advised him to continue so he can be free.

03:55After our season,

03:58and after PSL Global,

04:01he invited his friends to the States.

04:06Now, he said goodbye to us.

04:09He won't be gone.

04:11He'll just be a leave of absence.

04:13Jerry will be the one to take over as commissioner for this year's PSL.

04:23Coach Fresno, who should we look out for in terms of former PBA players,

04:30famous personalities,

04:32and I heard there are social media influencers joining this season.

04:38I was surprised.

04:40There's nothing we can do about it.

04:44The teams are the same.

04:46San Juan Knights,

04:48Senator Gingoy,

04:51Caloocan,

04:53Congressman Ayok Kamalapitan,

04:56Binyan,

04:58Vice Mayor Jel Alonte,

05:01and Sir Monching Pangasinan.

05:06He's famous.

05:07Yes, he's famous.

05:08There's also Jensen Norris,

05:12played by Senator Manny Pacquiao.

05:15Wow.

05:16Representing Jensen.

05:18Davao del Norte,

05:19Chichal Bayanos,

05:25Pure Blend,

05:29Dipa Batangas,

05:32Ver Diamonds.

05:35What else did I not say?

05:37I'm getting mad at you.

05:39It's Philippine Navy.

05:41The teams that joined the PSL President's Cup,

05:47it's a combination of pro teams and commercial.

05:51Yes.

05:52Do you have a choice?

05:54How did you choose the teams to join?

05:57I think this is the difference with other leagues.

06:02Here, it can be LGU,

06:05it can also be commercial.

06:07But the composition of the players,

06:12SGL is still there,

06:18but I don't think NCAA and UAP can play here.

06:22But outside UAP and NCAA,

06:24they can still play.

06:26So it also caters to local basketball?

06:29Grassroots.

06:30Grassroots.

06:31Not professional basketball.

06:32Yes, that's how it is.

06:33Everyone who plays this,

06:34they need to have a GAB license.

06:39In other tournaments,

06:40they say the objective is their goal in their league.

06:43But for PSL,

06:44what is the main goal of this league?

06:47Of course, our goal is

06:49those who are not given a chance to play in the PBA.

06:54This is the highest level of our basketball.

06:58So here, they still have a chance.

07:00They still have a chance to play.

07:03And for the young players,

07:06if they want to play in the MPBL,

07:10this is their chance to show their talent.

07:14This is our goal to bring them here.

07:16And for the kids who play in the PSL Global,

07:22it's like that,

07:23when they're 21,

07:24after that, where will they go?

07:26Here, they have a chance for PSL.

07:28In line with that question,

07:30to add on,

07:31what is the role of PSL

07:34to our local basketball players

07:36in terms of their development and growth

07:39in the world of basketball?

07:41Okay, for PSL,

07:42we're a bit...

07:46Before, in our last year,

07:50we were open to give all the chances

07:53to all the talented players.

07:56But since we have a collab

07:59with other leagues,

08:02we have a bit of a...

08:06We're tight.

08:08Because we gave them a chance,

08:10but if they're going to do it again...

08:13We don't have a team.

08:15We don't have a fix-a-man.

08:18We just need to find the right players.

08:21We'll give them another chance.

08:23But hopefully,

08:25PSL will help them.

08:27Especially the young ones.

08:29Okay, but for those who don't know,

08:31PSL, before,

08:32they had a different division,

08:34I can say.

08:35They had qualifying,

08:37regional competitions.

08:39So this is the developmental side of PSL.

08:42Aside from the President's Cup,

08:44do you have any plans

08:46after this,

08:47for those kinds of...

08:49Developmental competitions.

08:51Last time,

08:53we had three divisions.

08:5520 under,

08:5618 under,

08:57and 16 under.

08:58But this time,

09:00like what our chairman said,

09:02the founder of the League of Congressmen,

09:04Claude Bautista,

09:07we'll stick to one division.

09:09That's 21 under.

09:12So it will continue.

09:14There will still be qualifying

09:16for provincial, regional,

09:18then national,

09:19and then global.

09:21Coach Chris, you've mentioned about collaboration.

09:23So you also collaborate with other leagues.

09:25Do you have plans to collaborate

09:27with regional and international leagues

09:29in the future?

09:30Yes.

09:31That's what we want.

09:32Like in Canada,

09:34Global?

09:35Yes.

09:37They already started.

09:39When...

09:40It's like...

09:42Actually,

09:43they started qualifying in the US.

09:45So,

09:46they're using it with PSL.

09:49That's collaboration with different teams.

09:52Actually,

09:53these are Filipino communities.

09:54What are these countries?

09:56These are the US,

09:59UK,

10:00Canada,

10:01Italy,

10:05Thailand,

10:07New Zealand.

10:08We have eight.

10:09Yes.

10:10So,

10:11this collaboration is already ongoing internationally.

10:13But you're targeting Filipino...

10:17Communities.

10:18Yes.

10:19Abroad.

10:20Abroad.

10:21Until second degree.

10:22We don't have a problem with that.

10:23We'll just continue.

10:24To give them a chance.

10:25This is what's hard.

10:30Those who want to play abroad.

10:33They'll bring highlights.

10:35But of course,

10:36those are just highlights.

10:37There are no highlights

10:39that you can't see.

10:42So here,

10:43they'll see.

10:44They'll go here

10:45to see the local coaches.

10:48So they can recruit.

10:49Actually,

10:50a lot of players have been recruited

10:53in the past PSL.

10:55Not only there,

10:56not only in our global,

10:58international.

10:59Even the locals,

11:00those who are in the province,

11:02those who can't go here.

11:03So they have a chance.

11:05When we had a national,

11:06they saw it.

11:07This is beautiful

11:08because PSL is open to everyone.

11:11It's very friendly to all.

11:13You know,

11:14to all people.

11:15Aspiring athletes.

11:16Aspiring professional players.

11:18Have this exposure.

11:20Because not everyone

11:21can give a chance

11:22to play in the NBA

11:24or other professional basketball leagues.

11:27Now,

11:28until when?

11:30PSL,

11:31where can they watch?

11:32What's your message?

11:34If you have a message,

11:35you can invite a coach.

11:36In PSL,

11:40our opening is on December 21.

11:43It ends around mid-March.

11:46So it's continuous.

11:48Our games are every Tuesday,

11:50Wednesday,
