not boston or ally, but half a world away in the philippine capital manila, despite and lack of international success and participation on the world's biggest stage, the n b, a basketball essential 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 than you guys the rookies to a just 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 might, i'm playing inspiration is never, far away here at that training hole. the guy to write hoop center, a familiar figure, watches either proceedings, michael jordan, we always see him here every day. and he just reminds us that you know, that we have to really put in the word. 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, bombing some, somebody. i me,

i think that's the dream it. so people look up to that needs because you know, as allotted you have to meet sacrifices, you have to really dedicated. yeah. do i have you on? i think it that way with the 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 13000000 moving around predominantly by road under a blistering sun. it's a struggle at times, but for jerome, 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 are nice and polite. and you know, just when you see fit, a female is here to, you know, they're, they're all always smiling. they're always, you know, it's, it's, it's the good bye drones 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 the games. liam was, he's the one we introduced basketball to me when i started by him, but it wasn't any good. you know, then he was the one who really thought me make me give time to give me what and what less on the family when i was young. and the results were really amazing. the journalist mix boosters has known jerome for years and also coach basketball at youth level. he see many young players tread the same path as their father's family . been how the family ties are very strong in the philippines. it's common for your parents to be your idol. so you know, we people expect you to also follow the footsteps of your dad. it's not just about family though. when the whole nation is in love with basketball,

stars have the chance to become god. it is a religion in the philippines, basically if you breathe, sleep basketball, it is a way of life basket ledger is really a way of life makes his covered. you runs korea to, to where 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 abroad. james, that's how high he was. if i'm not mistaken, jer on for 104 points in again. that's how, that's how he was. despite a stella career at high school and college, jerome is yet to win a title of the 4 years in the p. b. i. changing that will require even more dedication. we have our own trainers with the team with one bridge,

but i also hired a person. okay. nurse naval here now and time and work with what i have to work on . so right now i'm, i'm in the gym with my 2nd visiting coach here in the p. b a. we have the conference in the years. busy all throughout the year i have to be prepared to read in shape and get ready for the day. and i always strive to really work hard this so i can be the best version of my so and also my dad thought me drink side. he's always, i mean, i wasn't the most talented, but because it's hard to working with me that you have a bad game, but your average should always be there. 100 percent, every game id look up to him and you know, keep in mind instead of and if jerome ever needs a reminder of his dad's ethos, he need only speak to his coach format. he be a legend, jeff carrier. so i used to play with his dad, i was

a teammate with his dad. he was at big veteran power forward. i did on a very work. he was your that one guy that you just love to have on your team. jeff, the jet teamed 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 leak. 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 series called to shark. i thank my parents with him every day because they spoke to me and i 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, but it really is a lifestyle change when you come out here. everything changes. so i went from

not having water where you live a, you have to go to all plant to get water to having 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 while 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 thought league at the end where they, we still are asian asians, hard, generically, small filipinos are genetically small. reason are we're not in and b a because we're so asians we're still small. number one is hate really height. you know, you can't teach height. right. and the average filipino player 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 how asians off at 6. but huge iran is the same height as mountain and via heroes, like steph curry and kyrie irving. but his true strength lie in his skill mentality . he does everything right. shoot along bad and can attack them basket post and defend. i think one thing that's really awesome about it, j t not only is a good guy off the court, but he's that warrior for you on the court. right? so nothing beats that you have character and talent and you know, for us cortez, that's really the best and who better for jerome to hold that talent with that?

his own big brother, championship winning basketball pro jerrick tang was schooling to run before he even knew it. i would go with jerry and jerome made basketball history while he was still in college. they were the 1st brothers to play against each other in the finals at the prestigious you 8 p tournaments between a leaks universities. it was a experience not only for us, but also for our family because our, our, our family had do you know, separate when watching. uh huh. may say mom and my sister were on, on his side and my dad and my other sister on my side. so it all, it was, it was a day off work who didn't know who to sheer for. so what i did of the

day, even before the final started, we were already witness because one of us would win the championship. so that would be 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, the experienced brought them closer together. i think that's on file honestly thought the on credit this out of us. so, you know, during the game during the tea game series, you know, we didn't think of his each either as the late brother. he love, like we just bought that is out during the game. i think after we played game one, you know, we got picked up at the same border game and we had a scuffle and then you know, after the game and therefore we with here that was, it was a weird feeling,

laughter. that's ha, that's when i think our relationship was brothers, the strength and, and we got this one. does, you know, other brothers then experience? jew 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 ingredient the philippines. i'll say it isn't 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 high's low successes and failures are to come in his

basketball, korea, he will always have his family ah, for your vacation, you wanted beautiful city. it should be by there. and you want to serve to art history and night. life are also on your list. how about here? today i want to discover defense with surprise. do you want to know more check in on d w. simpler chicken for super egg modern chickens or distress down there been bread to produce maximum heels. more egg or fat, he major in record time animal friendly farming looks different.
