not boston or ally, but half a world away in the philippine capital manila, despite a lack of international success and participation on well biggest states, the nbc basketball is central to philippine life and so is family. we follow pro, play a jerome to find out more about family and basketball in the philippines. with early morning in manila with a new basketball season approaching. preparations are in full flow for the converge fiber axis among the place is jerome tank. he's driven by a dream that has so far, eluded him in his pro korea didn't want to win the championship before my back of liquor. and so that's really my good. converge is a new franchise created off to the teams previous sponsor pulled out of the p. b. i

or philippine basketball association league that's created upheaval and to ron's role has changed this season. it's on my coming for 5th year where very young team and i'm one of the oldest guys guys here today. the so you know, i feel like i have more responsibility to really have all the new guys, the rookies to adjust scored be right away. so they can contribute, the passion is feel there and i know that boss have was, won't be there forever. so, you know, i'm really making most out of my dialogue. my time playing inspiration is never far away here at that training hole. the guy to write hoop center, a familiar figure, what she's either proceedings, michael jordan, we always see him here every the and he just reminds us that you know, that we have to really put as a written i think that if he knows he look, look into basketball like some sort of inspiration for them. you know, you hear the stories like coming from nowhere, then becoming some somebody. i me,

i think that's the dream. it is what people look off to that needs because, you know, as the last week you have to meet sacrifices, you have to really be k, then you have to have verse of you. and i think that that's why, you know, xeno e. novak good was hard work is something manila knows all about. the philippine capital is a place where many people have to hustle every day to get by with some 30000000. moving around predominantly by road under a blistering sun. it's a struggle at times, but for gerad it's the people who make his hometown what it is. whenever it hasn't been my hold, this very grew up. what i like whenever the voice is the people in the people already welcoming and they're all in nice and polite. and you know, just when you see fit, if you notice here, they know they're, they're all, they're always smiling. they're always, you know, it's, it's,

it's the good bye johns father alvin was one of the most successful players in the history of the p. b. i winning 9 titles in the eighty's and ninety's having a basketball legend for a father came in useful when sharon struggled with again, liam was, he's the one we introduced basketball to me and when i started by him, but it wasn't really good yet. and he was the one who really thought me, they gave time to give me one less on developing me when i was young and the results were really amazing. the journalist makes boosters has known jerome for years and also coach basketball at youth level. he see many young players tread the same path as their fathers, family fin. the family thighs are very strong in the philippines. it's common for your parents to be your idols. so in a way people expect you to also follow the footsteps of your dad. it's not just about family dog when the whole nation is in love with basketball,

stars have the chance to become gods. it is religion in the philippines, basically it's eat, breathe, sleep basketball. it is a way of life. basketball is really a way of life, makes his cover to runs career since the 2 were at college together at della sal university in manila. but jerome had already made a name for himself before that during his time in high school, he was one of the most, if not the most sought to recruit. when he was going into college, he was like on the bron james. that's how hype he was. if i'm not mistaken, john scored a 104 points in the game. that's how, that's how he was. despite estella career and high school and college, jerome is yet to win a title after 4 years in the p da. changing that will require even more dedication . we have our own painters with the theme with quinn bridge, but i also had

a personal trainer, neighbor here on my own time and work with what i have to work on. so right now i'm in the gym with my 2nd visiting coach here in the p. b a. we have people in francis in a year. so all throughout the year, you'd have to be prepared to the median shape and get ready for the football games . i always strive to really work the har, this so i can be the best version of myself. and that's what also my dad thought me doing aside. he's always stabbing wasn't the most silent bed. but because he's really heartbreaking. and he always tells me that, you know, you didn't have a bad game, but your effort should always be there. 100 percent, every game i look up to him and i always keep in mind the lesson. and if jerome ever needs a reminder of his dad's atheist, he need to only speak to his coach for math. he be a legend, jeff carry us. i i used to play with his dad. i was

a teammate with his dad. he was at big veteran power forward. i did all the dirty work. he was year that, that one guy that you just love to have on your team. jeff, the gen scenes up with tank senior after moving to the philippines in the ninety's, born and raised in san francisco to filipino parents, he helped start a trend of filipino americans joining the league. the philippines has close links with the usa. it was an american colony in the early 20th century, which is our basketball 1st made its way to these shores. but new arrivals here still face a baptism of fire, where there was a serious go at the shock. i thank my parents, it's him every day because they spoke to me and the guy got home so i could get along with guys. i could understand what they're saying. i can understand the coaches when they're talking to me. 3 but it really is a lifestyle change when you come out everything changes. so i went from

not having water where you live a you have to go to all pump to get water to have in a car before and now i got a ride on a jeep to get around. so you have to go through those sacrifices. you have to go through those hardship for her to really see if you're, you're meant to be here and say, well, the journey from the u. s. to the philippines has become more common. no player from the philippines has ever made it to the n b a. so why has this basketball mad country never produced a star for the world? it's hot league at the enter. they, we still are. asian, is in charge. generically, small filipinos are genetically small. reason are we're not in n b a because we're so asians we're still small. number one is hate really hate in or you can't teach height. right. and the average filipino,

clear at these easy st. these maybe 2000 pap been was little under 65. michael jordan, 66, and he's a shooting guard sole. traditionally back then when you have 6465 players, they're already centers. so how could you compete? there's a big disparity already because of our, of our, of our descent. that's how asians off at 6. but huge iran is the same height as modern and b i here i was like steph curry and kyrie irving. but his true strength lie in his skill mentality. he does everything right with pseudo bad. he can attack the basket post up and defend. i think one thing that's really awesome about, you know, j t not only is a good guy off the court, but he's that warrior for you on the court. right. so nothing be theft. you have character and talent and you know, for us cortez, that's really the best. and who better for jerome to hone that talent with that?

his own big brother, championship winning basketball pro jerrick tang was schooling to run before he even knew it. i with jerry and jerome made basketball history while he was still at college. they were the 1st brothers to play against each other in the finals at the prestigious you 8 p tournaments between at least universities. it was a experience not only for us, but also for our family because our, our, our family had do you know, separate it when watching my mom and my sister were on, on his side and my dad and my other sister on my side. so it was, it was a, you just got off work, well,

who didn't know with the sheer for so what and then of the day, even before the final started, we were already witnessed because one of was would win the championship. so with the out of reach either whoever, unfortunately with you a, a t games are a big deal in the philippines, attracting huge national audiences and plenty of scouts from proteins. so the stakes were high as the brothers faced off. but although they fought to, the last to point, be experienced, brought them closer together. i think that's on file if you need thoughts on credit given this out of us. so, you know, during the game during the game series, you know, we didn't think of each either as the late brother. he loved, like we just bought that is out during the game. after we played game one, you know, we got picked up at the same bar during the game and we had to go home. and then, you know, after the game and before we moved in here, that was, it was,

it was your feeling laughter. that's hot. that's when i think our relationship was brothers. he strengthened and we got this one that you know, other brothers that experience jo runs dream of winning a p. b. a title will require him to draw on every source of strength he can find. but in the philippines, that's just the everyday reality for many oh, i guess for basketball in this country. we always in for excellence. i guess that's, that's been great in the philippines. i'd say decent filipino indeed come in and we don't give up easy. traditionally, we've always had a chip on their shoulder. traditionally, we've always wanted to prove ourselves the 1st and the hunger for success is always there. even if it takes a lifetime, jerome tang embodies that commitment to making whatever sacrifice is necessary to reach his goals. but whatever highs low successes and failures to come in his

basketball career, he will always have his family ah, for your vacation you wanted beautiful lake city. it should be by there. and you want to serve to art history night life are also on your list. how about here today, i want to discover give them with surprise. do you want a little more check in on d, w? mm hm. obsessed with speed and ready to pay for it with their lives in race cars devoid of any safety feature.
