Aram ko na kadaklan saindo uya bistado ang basketball team na Golden State Warriors. Asin nagtutubod ako na sarong dakulang inspirasyon ang istorya kan Warriors sa satuya sarong atletang Catandunganon.

Sa laog nin 40 taon, dai nin maski sarong championship na nakua ang GSW. Sa laog nin 40 taon, napano ang saindang track record nin dakol na kadaugan, injuries, and disappointments. For forty years, their team was characterized by failure. But they did not stop in pursuing their ultimate goal.

Sa haloy na panahon dai sinda nawal-an nin paglaom. Slowly, they rebuilt their team one piece at a time. Kinua ninda ang mga talented players asin sa ika-40 na taon, they hired a genius coach named Steve Kerr.

After 40 years, they finally won their dreamed championship.

Mga tugang, alam ko na mati ta man syempre ang frustrations nin resulta kan nakaaging palarong bicol. But like the Warriors, let not our failure stop us from pursuing our ultimate goal-winning not just one gold but more, and to make it to the top.

All our pieces are present. Dai man kita gakulang sa mga maurag na players asin coaches. But what we have to do is keep on playing

And we, the provincial government did not stop to be by your side all the way. Ngonyan na taon, an Philippine Sports Commission, nag-isponsor nin training sessions sa satong mga trainers and coaches in partnership with the Provincial Government and Department of Education. It aims to further equip our trainers and coaches in their field of sports. Naheling niato an mga pangangaipo kan mga trainers and coaches to take another level of knowledge in their sports.

This is another step to further give due diligence and attention to sports. Dakol an may mga potential na mga Catandunganon na mag excel sa sports.

Asin satuya man na pinaayos ang satuyang swimming pool tanganing magka-igwa nin mas marinas na kawatan ang satuyang swimmers. Dai sana kita nagtuga, kundi satuya ining inaksyunan.

Asin lugod ang masunod na congressman maaksyunan na ang pagparubberize kan satuyang oval.

I know that the results will not be that fast. But there will be a result. Believe it. Like the warriors, let our past failures be our fuel. Let us build the culture of champions one failure at a time. Let our failures fuel us in going for the top.

I now call upon all coaches, and our whole delegation to dream of crazy dreams. Be crazy about winning.

Sabi daa sa advertisement kan Nike ‘Don’t ask if your dreams are crazy, ask if you are crazy enough”.

Sa liwat, Diyos Marhay na Hapon, Sulong Catandungan! Sulong Pilipinas!
