00:07 - International third runner up Nicole Borromeo

00:09 (speaking in foreign language)

00:13 (speaking in foreign language)

00:17 International pageant Tokyo, Japan.

00:20 (speaking in foreign language)

00:24 Top five.

00:24 (speaking in foreign language)

00:25 Third runner up among 70 candidates.

00:28 (speaking in foreign language)

00:32 - I've been flooded with messages

00:50 that I didn't get the chance to respond to yet.

00:53 Of people telling me that they were proud.

00:55 And at first I was like, really?

00:57 Like, I didn't win, but you all thought,

01:02 you all still are proud of me.

01:05 You all still think that I am a queen.

01:10 (speaking in foreign language)

01:17 We've been truly blessed.

01:21 (speaking in foreign language)

01:25 2023 Miss International third runner up

01:29 (speaking in foreign language)

01:32 - Hello.

01:32 (speaking in foreign language)

01:34 - Yes, thank you so much for picking me up at the airport,

01:38 saying a quick hello and interview.

01:40 I really enjoyed talking to you yesterday.

01:42 (speaking in foreign language)

01:49 Among 70 candidates.

01:51 (speaking in foreign language)

01:52 - Yeah, yeah, and I was there for almost a month too.

01:56 So the whole experience was, it was incredible.

01:58 (speaking in foreign language)

02:02 - Super, there's so much to enjoy

02:06 from the food to the people.

02:08 I think one of my favorite experiences

02:10 was actually getting to visit the schools.

02:13 Because that's something you can't do as a tourist.

02:15 And we got to meet the little kids

02:17 and the high school students.

02:19 We had conversations.

02:21 And right after that, we got to play games with them.

02:24 So the traditional games, they taught us origami,

02:27 even calligraphy.

02:29 Yeah, and there was this traditional Japanese game.

02:32 It's really similar to Sipa,

02:34 but instead of using your foot,

02:35 they have this little paddle board.

02:37 I keep forgetting what it's called,

02:39 but it was really fun.

02:40 (speaking in foreign language)

02:43 So much fun.

02:44 - But what lessons have you learned

02:46 throughout your Miss International pageant journey?

02:50 (speaking in foreign language)

02:53 'Cause you were crowned last year, Pa.

02:58 - Exactly.

02:58 - And then this year,

02:59 (speaking in foreign language)

03:03 How was that journey?

03:06 - I think the biggest lesson

03:08 is to be present throughout it all.

03:12 Being crowned, I could look at it,

03:13 I could look to the future and think,

03:14 "Hey, I have so much time.

03:16 "When's my time gonna come?"

03:18 Or I could be in the moment and think,

03:21 "Oh, what about the coronation night?

03:24 "What about the dress tomorrow?

03:25 "What about the next event?"

03:26 And the reality is,

03:29 you can enjoy things as long as you take it day by day.

03:32 Take the moment to pause.

03:34 And that was also something I learned

03:35 with the Japanese culture.

03:37 Right, they're really big on tea ceremonies.

03:39 - Yes, yes.

03:41 - If you know anything about tea ceremonies,

03:43 it's very mindful.

03:46 So the person who makes you the tea

03:48 takes the time to make it for you,

03:50 takes the time to put it in this beautiful cup for you,

03:53 and you accept it with respect,

03:55 and you take the time to appreciate the cup itself

03:59 plus the tea.

04:00 And just this appreciation for that is,

04:03 I think it's a beautiful thing that we can all learn from.

04:06 (speaking in foreign language)

04:10 - And of course, after your success

04:13 in Miss International Pageant,

04:15 (speaking in foreign language)

04:19 - Yeah, Michelle D!

04:20 - Michelle Mortes-D, our vet

04:23 in Miss Universe International Pageant.

04:27 (speaking in foreign language)

04:39 - Gosh, I watched her in her pageant last May.

04:43 Was it in May?

04:44 Earlier this year, and she was fantastic.

04:46 She performed so, so well,

04:49 and I think she was so deserving.

04:51 And now that I'm seeing her, her preparations,

04:56 she's so spot on, her interview is incredible,

04:58 her styling is amazing.

05:00 I think she's gonna do so well.

05:02 So Michelle, good luck out there.

05:05 Take it day by day, and enjoy every moment.

05:09 You have the whole Philippines behind you,

05:12 and you have our support.

05:15 We'll be voting every day.

05:17 We've got the Bayanian spirit right there for you.

05:19 (speaking in foreign language)

05:23 - It was incredible to have them there.

05:34 A lot of them, 'cause last year during Bini Bini,

05:37 they were supposed to come and watch,

05:40 but some had to back out,

05:41 especially with the cases going on.

05:44 And so when the Tokyo trip was happening,

05:47 I couldn't really believe it at first.

05:48 I was like, "Oh, let's see what happens."

05:51 Even though they had booked the tickets,

05:54 they did all that, I didn't really feel it sink in

05:56 until I was backstage on the night itself.

06:00 One of the chaperones came in, and she's like,

06:02 "I see your family.

06:03 "They have their flags for you outside,

06:06 "and they're so loud.

06:07 "The supporters, the support from the Philippines,

06:10 "it's really out there."

06:13 (speaking in foreign language)

06:17 - Oh, what's next, what's next?

06:29 Well, I still haven't finished my studies yet,

06:31 so I'm hoping to get my degree.

06:33 - You're taking up interior design.

06:34 - I'm studying interior design, yes.

06:36 I did take a break in order to fully focus

06:39 for this competition.

06:40 (speaking in foreign language)

06:43 I'd say if the opportunity presents itself,

06:46 I'd say why not?

06:48 I'm very open to it,

06:49 and let's see what the future holds for me.

06:53 Really exciting things are coming.

06:54 (speaking in foreign language)

06:58 (speaking in foreign language)

07:02 - Okay, I'm gonna teach you what I've been taught.

07:24 Make sure your shoulders are back, right?

07:26 Posture up.

07:28 Imagine a string on top of your head

07:30 pulling you towards the sky.

07:32 - Okay.

07:33 - You're ready to float.

07:35 And when you walk, make sure your legs are straight,

07:38 your knees aren't bent.

07:39 (speaking in foreign language)

07:40 And ready?

07:41 - Ready, ready, Nicole, go!

07:43 - Three, two, one, and go.

07:44 One, two, three.

07:46 Don't forget to look around the audience and say hello.

07:48 (speaking in foreign language)

07:52 And aura, aura.

07:53 (speaking in foreign language)

07:55 (speaking in foreign language)

07:59 And don't forget to look back at the audience.

08:05 (speaking in foreign language)

08:09 - Thank you so much, Nicole!

08:12 (speaking in foreign language)

08:16 Thank you so much!

08:19 - Thank you.
