00:00PBB Sports is back with us today with Joseph Gatdula, Penchak Silat Athlete.
00:09Hi Joseph, good morning!
00:11Good morning! How are you this morning, Joseph?
00:16Good morning, ma'am. I'm okay. I'm just a bit nervous.
00:20Oh no, don't be nervous!
00:22This is not a recitation.
00:23Yes.
00:24Did you come from training, Joseph?
00:26Yes, ma'am.
00:28Did you come from training?
00:31No, ma'am. This is my rest day.
00:36I finished training yesterday.
00:38It's a good thing that Joseph is not here right now.
00:40Yes, ma'am.
00:41He gave us this interview.
00:42Monday, Joseph.
00:45Yes, ma'am.
00:46I'm reviewing because we have an exam this week.
00:51All right. Maybe this is an option for Joseph.
00:53He just saw the prop.
00:56But Joseph, tell us, how did you start here in sports, Penchak Silat?
01:02Are you still a kid or what?
01:05What is your discipline? Are you artistic or you're good at combat?
01:11I'm good at combat. I'm not good at artistic.
01:17I'm good at playing.
01:23All right, Joseph. How did you start? Who taught you?
01:29I started martial arts when I was in grade 3.
01:33That was in 2014. I was 9 years old then.
01:38At that time, my brother was in grade 2.
01:41He was bullied in our school.
01:44His classmate kicked him in the face because he was hospitalized.
01:51Because of that, my mother enrolled us in Taekwondo class.
01:57That was our first sport.
02:01That's where our journey in martial arts started.
02:04My first fight was in Batangas.
02:07Because it was my first fight, they didn't let us go.
02:11That's how it was.
02:13Then in 2016, our coach shifted from Taekwondo to Penchak Silat.
02:19That's where our fights started.
02:22In 2016, we participated in the 3rd Sultan Cup.
02:27We won a medal.
02:32In 2017, my first fight was in Batang Pinoy.
02:38It was held in Ilocos.
02:40I won a gold medal there.
02:42That's how the local tournaments started.
02:47There are now Deaf-Aide Games.
02:52It was held in Davao and Marikina.
02:57The pandemic was stopped.
03:00I had to go there for 2 years to improve my skills.
03:07That's when the pandemic was stopped.
03:09Until now, my training continues.
03:14Your teammate, Berna, mentioned that
03:18martial arts is rooted in bullying.
03:24So that they can defend themselves.
03:29That's what he did to enter this sport.
03:33From that point, Yosef became a competitive athlete.
03:37You mentioned that you started with Taekwondo.
03:41Why did you shift to Penchak Silat?
03:47Taekwondo has a head.
03:55It's not because of fear.
03:57It's because it's hard when you get hit in the head.
04:02That's why we shifted to Penchak.
04:05The game was slow.
04:07That's when we continued.
04:11We improved in Penchak Silat's benefits.
04:17There are many benefits.
04:19Yosef, can you explain?
04:22A lot of people don't know about this sport.
04:26What's the difference with other martial arts?
04:30This is Penchak Silat.
04:34It's from Indonesia.
04:38That's where it originated.
04:40Until they continued...
04:44Ma'am Kiram?
04:46That's right.
04:48This is...
04:51This is...
04:56It's different from other sports.
05:00It has a drop.
05:04It's like a wrestling.
05:07It's only up to the body.
05:10The body and the head.
05:14It doesn't have a head.
05:16That's the difference.
05:19Penchak Silat is more on striking.
05:23There are many weapons used in this sport.
05:27I've been covering Penchak Silat since I started.
05:33Yosef mentioned Princess Jossel Kiram.
05:37She's very supportive of Penchak Silat.
05:43This is one sport that we're proud of.
05:47When it comes to the international sports scene,
05:49we have the Hakot Awards here.
05:51Of course, with the likes of Dines Lumaad.
05:53This is a gold medalist.
05:54When I covered in 2017 in Malaysia Southeast Asian Games,
05:58we have Mary Francine Padios.
06:01This is one of the sports that we have the Hakot Awards.
06:06Yosef also has the Hakot Awards
06:10in POPS 2, Batang Pinoy, and Palarumpang Bansa.
06:13Can you tell us more about this?
06:15Yes.
06:17During my journey in Batang Pinoy,
06:21I always won gold medals.
06:24It's all gold.
06:27In Palarumpang Bansa,
06:30when I was in Davao,
06:34I was a bit younger than my opponents.
06:39I was a bit younger.
06:43I wasn't allowed to play in Davao.
06:45When I played in Palarumpang Bansa in Marikina in 2023,
06:53my game improved.
06:56Before I was allowed to play in Davao,
07:03I lost weight.
07:05I was thin.
07:07I had a flat face.
07:13We played in Palarumpang Bansa in 2023.
07:19In the first quarter-finals, I won.
07:23In the elimination quarter-finals,
07:28I was in the semis.
07:30In the semis,
07:32I got the right technique for dropping.
07:39There were referees who had a different view of dropping.
07:46They switched to deduction.
07:50I was deducted.
07:53I was eliminated.
07:56In order to play in Asian school games in other countries,
08:02like in Vietnam,
08:04you need to win gold to play there.
08:09When I won bronze,
08:11it was okay for me.
08:13Maybe bronze was for me.
08:17I have a question.
08:19Where are you from?
08:21What region did you represent in Batang Pinoy and Palarumpang Bansa?
08:28In Batang Pinoy,
08:30I represented Laguna.
08:32In Palarumpang Bansa,
08:35I represented Calabarzon, Region 4A Calabarzon.
08:38How does it feel to represent Calabarzon?
08:43It's not just that,
08:45you also won a title.
08:49I feel better
08:56because I was able to recover from my hardship.
09:06I'm happy with how I feel.
09:09You also have a partner.
09:11Your brother was your inspiration.
09:14How did your brother react when he found out that you won a title?
09:24We were just happy.
09:29Of course.
09:33Was he proud?
09:36Did he become a sportsman?
09:38Or was he a competitive athlete?
09:42He stopped.
09:45Now, he continues to work out.
09:50I continue to train.
09:54You got to know each other through PENTAX.
09:56Who is your idol?
09:59In sports?
10:02In sports,
10:04my idol is Angie Lingbirina,
10:09Sarah Okindo,
10:11Angel Gwenderla,
10:14and one of my friends who will play in another country this week.
10:23She's leaving this week.
10:25The competition is next week.
10:29What does this sport mean to you?
10:33Until now,
10:35you've been training
10:37and working hard to earn the title.
10:44Number one is self-confidence.
10:49At this time,
10:52there are a lot of things happening around us.
10:57Because we're training,
11:01we can defend ourselves.
11:12Other than that,
11:14our body is still exercising.
11:19That's good.
11:20It has a lot of benefits for the body.
11:22Even for the mind.
11:24Discipline is there, right, Joseph?
11:26Discipline and above all,
11:28self-confidence.
11:30That's really important.
11:32Joseph, do you have any plans for the upcoming competitions?
11:38For now,
11:40because I'm over-aged,
11:43compared to other athletes,
11:45like Batang Pinoy,
11:47and other international athletes,
11:49I became the assistant coach
11:51of Laguna Panjak Silat
11:55under Coach Simon Brondo.
12:00Now, I'm dreaming of playing in the Philippine National Games.
12:04And of course,
12:06I'm dreaming of playing with the national team
12:08and playing in international competitions.
12:12So that I can show them
12:14what I've started.
12:16Wow, you're already a coach.
12:19Yes, I was a coach when I was young.
12:21What was your motivation
12:24to share your knowledge
12:26in Panjak Silat?
12:30Ma'am?
12:31You mentioned that you're already an assistant coach.
12:35What was your motivation
12:37to share your knowledge?
12:42Well, my motivation was
12:44for the kids
12:46who are
12:48in their current generation,
12:51who have a lot of vices.
12:54So, instead of going there,
12:58they can go to
13:00Laguna Panjak Silat.
13:02This is where they can spend their time.
13:04Aside from that, I exercise their bodies.
13:08Finally, Joseph,
13:10do you have any messages, shoutouts,
13:12or anything you want to say to them?
13:14This is your floor or time.
13:18Ma'am, there's a lot.
13:20It's okay.
13:22I think he has everything, teacher.
13:24Go.
13:26I'm already an artist here.
13:28Just kidding.
13:30My number one is
13:32I want to say hi to my mom,
13:34to my aunt and uncle
13:36who are serving
13:38as a
13:42single parent.
13:44I want to thank them.
13:46I also want to shoutout
13:48my coach,
13:50Simon Brondo.
13:52To my friends,
13:54Jacob, Jordan,
13:56and Mark.
13:58And to my friend,
14:00there.
14:02He's like a different friend.
14:04He's a bit shy.
14:06Oh, my!
14:08He's shy.
14:12It's a great inspiration
14:14from Joseph to the kids.
14:16Aside from his
14:18dedication to his sport,
14:20he really shares his energy.
14:22Yes, because of his coaching career.
14:24With that, thank you so much, Joseph.
14:26Thank you, Joseph.
14:28For letting us interview you this morning.
