00:00We are joined live in the studio by Sir Paolo Tangkontian, Coach Ace Larida, and the brothers Sidney and Chino C. Tangkontian.

00:08Good morning to all of you. Thank you so much for coming here today.

00:14Good morning. Thank you so much.

00:17Firstly, let's talk about the 2025 Dutch Open Sambo Championships.

00:23I'll start with you, Sir Paolo.

00:25Sir Paolo, how are you? What can you say about this performance?

00:29Good morning, and thank you for inviting us here.

00:34I can say that it was an excellent performance, especially Coach Alas.

00:40He has two functions, Coach and Athlete.

00:44There will be a return of Sambo Queen Sidney.

00:49And of course, Chino's performance was very good.

00:52Although his weight category is a bit bigger than his opponents,

00:57but this is not our ambition.

01:04After three years, we want to qualify for the Olympics.

01:08Very well said, Sir Paolo.

01:10Let's start with the Olympic-caliber.

01:15Sir Chino, how was your performance there?

01:18Sir Paolo said that we were able to compete in the Olympic-caliber.

01:22We were a bit heavy.

01:24Plus 98 kilograms, that's not a joke. What can you say about that?

01:28For me, it was a bit...

01:32I'm a bit lazy when it comes to pairing.

01:35Because my first match was against an Olympic-level opponent,

01:42whom I really prepared for.

01:44I was a bit light in the weight category that I competed in.

01:53I'm looking forward and I'm learning from this competition

01:58so that I can bring it to the next competition.

02:01Very well said.

02:02But let's move on to Sambo Queen Sidney.

02:06How was your experience there?

02:08What was our goal here?

02:10Maybe for this competition, it's a good opening for the year for me.

02:16Because this year, I will start competing in high-level competitions again.

02:22This is a good warm-up for my year.

02:29Since last year, the level of competition for the Dutch Open has really increased.

02:34We're very happy because we're still competing together.

02:38That means our level is also increasing for Sambo here in the Philippines.

02:45And what a comeback for you.

02:47Last September, in 2024, you competed in the World Beach Sambo.

02:53You won a bronze medal.

02:55What can you say about this?

02:57You said this was just a warm-up, but you won a gold medal.

03:00What can you say about that?

03:01Maybe one of the things that made it a success

03:04is the experience that I gained over the years of playing.

03:10That's one of the key things.

03:12Especially my first match, it was a long game.

03:20Maybe the extra years of playing

03:25became one of my advantages ever since I started playing internationally.

03:34Very well said.

03:35Sir Paulo, let's give you a round of applause.

03:38Let's start with Coach Ace Larrida, our idol.

03:42Coach Ace, they say that your match was a life-and-death situation.

03:48Can you explain that?

03:50The opponent was strong and big.

03:53I had to go all out, but in the middle, I was completely exhausted.

03:57But at least I continued and won the match.

03:59But what made you go all out?

04:01Two gold medals, that's not a joke.

04:04What can you say about that?

04:05At first, the level was okay.

04:08Now, it's even higher.

04:10When we first joined, it was still okay.

04:13It was strong, but not like this.

04:15The competition really improved.

04:18But Sir Paulo, what can you say about that?

04:21Athlete and coach at the same time.

04:24That makes you proud as a coach and athlete at the same time.

04:28What can you say about that, Sir Paulo?

04:30First of all, I salute you.

04:32Coach Alas became an inspiration as a coach and as an athlete.

04:39Because Coach Alas is like a late bloomer.

04:44But now, he was given a chance to highlight his talent.

04:51And hopefully...

04:53Because this is his second gold medal in two straight years.

04:57So maybe until he's 50 years old, like Coach Alas.

05:01But with that being said, Coach, how long will you compete?

05:06Until my body is able to give honors to the country.

05:11But here, we saw that our opponent was a bit heavy.

05:15But we were able to find a way to get this medal.

05:19Was that your motivation, Coach?

05:22To continue our sport?

05:25Yes.

05:26That's my motivation.

05:27We train together.

05:28I also train with them.

05:32We're always training together.

05:34And then, I play with them.

05:36Although, they're strong.

05:37They'll hit me.

05:38But at least, it's okay.

05:39I play with them.

05:40Very well said.

05:41We saw that.

05:42But let's talk about the competition of February in the All Japan Sambo Championships.

05:47Chino, can you share that with us?

05:52That was the first competition of the Philippine Sambo for the year.

05:58I was lucky to score a goal there with the guidance of my sister.

06:04She was my coach there.

06:08I hope that I can continue my momentum there.

06:17With that being said, Sedney, can you share that with us?

06:22We know that you've been supportive to your brother all throughout.

06:29What can you say about that?

06:30How was the program for him?

06:33For the competition, the weight that he played was his regular weight.

06:43I think that his skill set matched the weight that he played.

06:55When it comes to Sambo, in the Asian side, not in Central Asia, but in Japan and Korea,

07:06he can still do it in terms of strength.

07:09But when it comes to the European side, it's hard to match his strength.

07:18But with his skill, he's skilled.

07:22That's one of the things that we're trying to refine,

07:30how he can be an advantage to his European counterparts.

07:37With that being said, Coach Ace, do you have any programs for him to step up?

07:45With the help of PSC, we have Strength and Conditioning.

07:48They give us a coach twice a week.

07:52It's a big help to the national team.

07:54We can improve our strength and condition to be able to accompany the athletes in Europe.

08:01Because they're strong physically.

08:05Sir Paolo, do you have anything to say about that?

08:08Do we have any plans?

08:11Yes.

08:13Like I said, their fundamentals are very important.

08:19They have a deeper understanding, especially in the big tournaments.

08:27Because you really need to learn, especially your favorite techniques.

08:39So you really need to have a deeper understanding.

08:42And with the training, they don't neglect it.

08:45They have morning training, strength and conditioning.

08:50And for sparring, it's only three times a week.

08:55So you don't get injured.

08:58And you don't get over-trained.

09:03Sir, do we have any upcoming events?

09:06You mentioned earlier that there's an event in the US.

09:09What's that, sir?

09:11Yes, we're very excited.

09:13Because it's the first time that America will host a big tournament.

09:21So we expect that a lot of people will attend.

09:25Of course, America is the US Open.

09:28So a lot of people will attend.

09:31So we're very excited that we'll be playing here.

09:35And thank you for the support of Philippine Sports.

09:42I hope that this will continue and that we'll be able to give a lot of medals to the Philippines.

09:50Sir Paolo and Sir Ace, anyone can answer.

09:54Who are the athletes that we'll be sending to the team?

09:58Sydney, Chino, AC and Jomari.

10:03Jomari Torres in our combat team.

10:06And AC Yap in combat team.

10:09And Sydney in sports sambo and Chino.

10:11Sir, how heavy is the competition here?

10:15How high is the competition level here in the US?

10:19No, it's just that the athletes that we'll be sending,

10:22AC Lin Yap is number 5 in the world in combat sambo.

10:30And Jomari Torres is number 7.

10:33And there's Sydney, the queen of sambo.

10:36And Chino is here.

10:38So this is really a bloody battle.

10:44We'll do our best to win a lot of medals.

10:52How crucial is this for Sir Paolo that we join this kind of event?

10:59Sydney is the head of the athletes commission.

11:07She's the chairwoman.

11:10All of the sanctions that our international federation has imposed,

11:18we join them to get their rankings.

11:24So we're here, they're all in the rankings.

11:28So our athletes are in the rankings.

11:32So I want to maintain that.

11:34Because next year, we'll be hosting the Asian Oceana.

11:39We have a plan to host the World Beach Sambo.

11:42So I really want our countrymen to see that they won a gold medal.

11:50And it's the first time we've produced a world champion.

11:55So that's my biggest dream, Sir Paolo.

11:59My biggest dream is to see our countrymen produce a world champion.

12:05That's a good plan.

12:08Lastly, let's have a message.

12:13What's your last message, Chino?

12:15What can we expect from you this year?

12:17This is a busy year for you.

12:20I want to come back to my performance from the previous one.

12:29So expect that I'll come back stronger.

12:33And I'll improve my achievements.

12:36Chino is really humble when I talk to him.

12:40But Sydney, what's your goal this year?

12:44What can we expect from you this year?

12:47First, thank you so much for inviting us.

12:51This year, we'll have more competitions.

12:56And I hope you'll continue to support the Philippine Sambo Team.

13:00Our whole team.

13:01Because every competition, we're doing our best to give glory for the country.

13:08Very good. Sir Paolo?

13:10My wish to Coach Alas is that he'll continue to help me expand the Philippine Sambo Team.

13:19Because for me, I want to expand this sport in the whole country.

13:26I'm also focused on increasing the number of athletes.

13:33And I hope Coach Alas will share his schedule in training and expanding the Sambo Team.

13:44With that being said, Coach Alas, how can we increase the number of athletes that will follow your footsteps?

13:50Of course, we have a grassroots program.

13:53We're also focused on the grassroots and strengthening our national team.

13:58We'll do our best to be the next national team for the kids.

14:03Alright, so we saw Sir Paolo, Coach Alas, Sidney, and Chino Tancun.

14:09Thank you so much to all of you.
