no 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 nbc basketball essential to philippine life and so is family. we follow pro, play jerome to find out more about family and basketball in the philippines. early morning in manila with a new basketball season approaching. preparations are in full flow for the converge fiber axes among the place is jerome tang, 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 after the teams previous sponsor pulled out of the p. b. i or philippine basketball association league that's created. upheaval and sharon's

role has changed. this is that if on my coming for 5th year, we're very young. even i'm one of the oldest guys guys here day these. oh, you know, i feel like i have more responsibility to really have out than you guys the rookies to a just stored the right away so they can contribute the passionate feel there. and i know that the 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 try ring whole the gate to write hoops center a familiar figure. watch his eyes, the 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 at the basketball, like some sort of inspiration for them, you know, year just for years like coming from nowhere, then becoming some somebody. i mean,

i think that that's the dream. it is what people look up to that needs because, you know, as an artist, you have to meet sacrifices you have to really dedicate. did you have, do i have you? and i think that's why you know, the, you know, 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 gerad it's the people who make his hometown what it is . when it hasn't been my home very, grew up. what i like whenever the voice is the people in the people who are really welcoming and they are nice and polite and you know, it 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 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 and when i started by him what it wasn't really good. yeah. then he was the one who really thought to me, they gave time to give me what and what less on the feed me when i was young. and the results were really amazing. the journalist makes, who still has known jerome 2 years and also coach basketball at youth level. he's seen many young players tread the same path as that father. the family thing, the family ties are very strong in the philippines. it's common for your parents to be your idol. so in a way 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 is covered, you're on korea 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, it 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 the career of high school and college, jerome is yet to win a title of the 4 years in the p. b. a changing that will require even more dedication. we have our own trainers with a few with one bridge, but i also hired

a person. okay, nurse navel here and the only time and 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 year. so all throughout the year i have to be prepared to read in shape and get ready for the day. and i've always strive to really work the hardest, so i can be the best version of my so then the thought also made that document during assign. he's always, i mean, i wasn't the most talented, but because the heartbreaking, he always tells me that, you know, you can have a bad game, but your effort should always be there. 100 percent, every game id look up to him in you know, keep in mind the lesson and if you run ever needs a reminder of his dad's ethos, he need only speak to his coach format. he be a legend, jeff kerry. also. i used to play with his dad, so i was

a teammate with his dad. he was at big veteran power forward. i did all the dirty work. he was your that one guy that you just love to have on your team. jeff. the jets 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 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 and air. there was a serious call to shark. i thank my parents with them every day because they spoke to me and the girl got home so i could get along with the 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 pump 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 sacks and prices, you have to go through those hardship for her to really see if you're, you're meant to be here and stay. 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 produces off? the wells taught late at the enter. they, we still are asian, asian, sorry, genetically. small filipinos are genetically small. reason are we're not in n b a because we're so agents, we're still small. number one, if i really hate, you know, you can't teach height. right. and the average filipino,

clear at these 80 st. these maybe 2000 back then 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 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? shoot a lot, bad and can attack them 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 in 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 in 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 were on my side. so, you know, it was, it was, he just got off work well, who didn't know with the sheer for so what i did 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 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 is lead. thought the on credit given this out of was so, you know, during the game during the game series, you know, we didn't think it was each either as the late brothers. he loved like we just by that is out joining the game after we played game one. 0, we got picked up at the same bar during the game and we had to go home. and then, you know, after the game in the court with you here,

that was it was it will your feeling laughter? that's hot. that's when i think our relationship was brothers. he strengthened and we got this one. does you know other brothers that experience? drones 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'll 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. a woman with god. margaret was 64 when she 1st right a motorbike. and she hasn't stopped since 18000 kilometers 18 countries. the adventure of a lifetime. no limits. margaret's incredible journey as special read on d, w go mike speaking, how can this passionate hatred of a people be explained? go upon, go. the history of anti semitism, our in depth documentary series, the final part. after the holocaust,
