00:00At the same time of the International Women's Month celebration,

00:03let's learn the story of two-time world powerlifting champion Jessa May Tabuan

00:08who serves as an inspiration to women in the field of sports.

00:12Here is the report of Jamyca Bayaka.

00:18In the culture of the Philippines, the Filipinos are already used to

00:22using their strength only for men.

00:26They are considered strong and can do any heavy activity.

00:32But in the world tour, it is accompanied by the rise of the modern age.

00:37The limitations of women are completely overshadowed by the new generation.

00:42When it comes to the field of sports,

00:44it proves the many successes and achievements of women.

00:56Jamyca May Tabuan is one of 22-year-old Jessa May Tabuan

01:19who serves as an inspiration to women in the field of powerlifting.

01:25I started when I was 11 years old.

01:29I was influenced by my father.

01:32My father was the first powerlifter in our family.

01:36Because of him, I went to this sport at the age of 11.

01:40From then, I continued my powerlifting journey.

01:45Because of powerlifting,

01:47it helps Jessa's studies from the government incentives and financial assistance she receives.

01:53But the national athlete also admitted that

01:55it is not easy to accompany being a student and training as an athlete.

02:00Even though it is hard, Jessa continues her pursuit

02:02to achieve her dreams and finish her studies.

02:07For me, all I have today is to encourage myself

02:11that I can do it all with my strength and also with God.

02:15Because I know that it is impossible when it comes to our Lord.

02:18Because of his help, I was able to cope up through my faithfulness to him.

02:25That is my way to overcome these challenges.

02:30Many times, Tabuan has been named as one of the Philippines'

02:34International Powerlifting Competitions.

02:36In fact, two world titles and three Asian gold medals were awarded by the Filipino powerlifter.

02:43And sometimes, it did not occur to her that she could do it.

02:47Jessa was also one of the winners of the Philippine Sports Writers' Awards Night in January.

02:53In 2024, she made history as a Filipino powerlifter

02:57and was awarded a medal in the 2024 World Classics and Equipped Sub-Junior and Junior Powerlifting Championships.

03:04For the athlete, this is the greatest honor she has received so far.

03:09The total weight she lifted was only 427.5 kilograms,

03:15which is equivalent to the weight of almost her body weight.

03:18But what was the secret of the athlete to achieve these achievements?

03:23How to become a world champion? Of course, first of all, humbleness.

03:27Because if you brag about everything you've done,

03:30the rest will go to you.

03:34So that's my way on how to be a world champion.

03:37Overcome, discipline, humbleness, discipline,

03:41and also listen to the advice of your coach.

03:44Because if we are not listening today to the advice of our coaches,

03:47we will not be able to achieve our goal.

03:51Along with winning the International Women's Month,

03:54Tabuan also has a message to the women who are pursuing their dreams.

04:00Don't listen to what others say that this sport is for men.

04:04Why don't you want to be a woman, but this is for men?

04:08Not because you're a woman, you don't have the strength.

04:10Just do your best, don't listen to what others say.

04:14Jessa is just one of the women who are willing to enter the world of powerlifting.

04:19Her success proves that women can also participate in any sport.

04:27Jamaica Bayaka, for the Filipino athlete, for the new Philippines.
