00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:03 It's 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and it's Fast Talk Time.
00:21 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:29 And welcome to Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.
00:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:33 Welcome to the program.
00:40 Our very special guest today, please welcome
00:44 Miss Universe Philippines 2024, Chelsea Manalo.
00:49 [CHEERING]
00:52 [APPLAUSE]
00:54 Hello.
00:55 Thank you so much.
00:56 Welcome to the program.
00:58 Thank you so much for having me.
00:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:02 You really are beautiful.
01:04 Oh, thank you so much.
01:05 Yes.
01:06 I mean, this is the first time--
01:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:09 I get to see Chelsea in person.
01:11 You are gorgeous.
01:12 You are beautiful.
01:13 You have a crown?
01:14 I want you to put this crown on me.
01:16 [LAUGHTER]
01:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:17 You guys remember that, right?
01:24 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:25 OK.
01:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:26 [SCREAMS]
01:28 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:29 [LAUGHTER]
01:30 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:32 [SCREAMS]
01:41 [LAUGHTER]
01:43 Chelsea, the point is, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:48 Tito Boy, there's a weight to the crown.
01:50 So when Michelle put it in my head,
01:53 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:54 It would fall.
01:55 Until then, when I tilt my head, it
01:58 felt like it was going to move.
01:59 But Michelle fixed it.
02:00 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:01 [LAUGHTER]
02:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:03 Wow.
02:07 Oh.
02:08 Wow.
02:08 Wow.
02:10 Wow.
02:10 [LAUGHTER]
02:13 Thank you very much.
02:14 Thank you so much, Tito Boy.
02:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:17 I know everybody's talking about your walk.
02:18 I just want to let you know that when you came out
02:21 in the swimwear, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:23 That was a strong, strong walk.
02:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:29 Yes.
02:30 Or have you come up with a name?
02:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:32 There is already some ideas [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:35 So I guess that is what the people would have to look out for.
02:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:40 They would have to--
02:41 it's a surprise.
02:42 Ah, OK.
02:42 Yes.
02:43 It's a surprise.
02:44 Yes.
02:44 But you maintain it.
02:45 Yes.
02:46 I will maintain the walk.
02:47 Yeah, it's a very, very strong walk.
02:49 OK.
02:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:52 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:54 Miss Universe Philippines.
02:55 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:58 Top 10, top five.
03:00 They didn't see you.
03:02 Yes.
03:02 The forecasters didn't mention Bulacan.
03:06 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:09 Well, for me, Tito Boy, I see that there's
03:12 a lot of girls there that are so strong and competitive.
03:15 So in my head, I told myself that if I'm
03:17 going to perform and go out of the stage,
03:19 I would just give my all.
03:21 You know, we really don't know [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:29 Well--
03:29 You know, I'm going to prove you wrong.
03:30 You always say that.
03:31 Trust me, I'm going to prove you wrong.
03:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:35 There is a little bit, of course.
03:38 I want people to really see what I want to perform there.
03:42 You know, as a woman of color, I hope
03:43 I am giving so much influence to them.
03:45 But because there are a lot of girls who are very deserving,
03:49 I've never been into the--
03:51 what they call front runners.
03:52 Correct.
03:53 OK, let's talk about them.
03:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:57 Your opinion about the front runners.
04:00 Bako Or, what do you think about her?
04:01 I love--
04:02 Or what did you think about her?
04:03 I love Ate Victoria.
04:05 I think she's so strong.
04:06 She's very consistent to what she puts out there.
04:09 I think she has such a beautiful signature as well.
04:12 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:15 Well, we're not--
04:16 You know where I'm coming from?
04:18 I remember the story of Janine Tugonon.
04:20 Yes.
04:21 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:22 --in Las Vegas.
04:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:27 Referring to Olivia Culpo.
04:30 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:37 I think Ate Christy Magary.
04:41 She's so strong.
04:42 She's Miss?
04:44 Taguig.
04:44 Taguig.
04:45 Yes.
04:45 She's very strong.
04:46 She's very strong.
04:47 She's very consistent, then at the same time.
04:49 And she's so beautiful.
04:50 So I mean, of course, I came in there.
04:53 I thought that everyone will be there as my competitor.
04:57 But again, I felt like [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:01 biggest competitor.
05:02 Because if I'm not going to believe in myself,
05:05 then how would I perform well?
05:07 I get that.
05:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:11 With myself.
05:12 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:14 Well, I wouldn't say that [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:16 What would you say?
05:17 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:18 Because she's my best friend.
05:19 Oh, OK.
05:19 All right.
05:21 She's one of those girls that I have always been
05:23 with through the competition.
05:25 Many people might say, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:28 behind the scenes.
05:29 But it's never like that.
05:30 All of us girls are so close to one another.
05:34 And I hope people could see that behind the stage.
05:36 The sisterhood.
05:36 We understand that.
05:37 But again, it's a sisterhood.
05:39 But it is a competition.
05:41 It's a healthy competition.
05:42 And it's a good competition.
05:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:45 I'll put it this way.
05:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:49 I love Atisa also.
05:52 There is really no nervousness that I felt with other girls.
05:55 And Atisa, she's so beautiful.
05:57 I think that she has a really beautiful support system
05:59 as well.
06:00 So that is one of her biggest strengths.
06:02 Baguio.
06:04 Tara, I love Tara.
06:07 She's the baby girl that we love.
06:09 She is young, but at the age of what she is right now,
06:17 she has gone a long way for her to be in the Miss Universe
06:22 Philippines.
06:22 What about Zambales?
06:24 Zambales, I love her waist.
06:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:28 Whenever I see her, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:35 OK.
06:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:38 Atis Stacy, she is just like an [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:41 Every time we're behind the stage, we would talk.
06:43 We would laugh.
06:44 So the sisterhood was really strong.
06:48 Chelsea, there were about over 20 special awards.
06:52 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:54 Miss Jojo Bragaes.
06:55 OK.
06:56 While the awarding was happening,
06:58 what was playing in your mind?
07:01 Was it like, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:04 It's normal in a competition.
07:06 You know what I'm saying?
07:07 OK.
07:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:09, I came in here.
07:30 I know that I am looking and eyeing for the crown.
07:34 I may not have an award, but I'm going to give my best.
07:36 Because I am looking only at the crown.
07:39 Eyes on the prize.
07:40 Eyes on the prize.
07:41 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:42 And then during the contest, did you
07:44 feel that you had less exposure than the other girls?
07:48 I wouldn't say so, Tito Boy.
07:50 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:51 So there is no feeling that everyone was in the shadow.
08:03 OK.
08:03 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:05 You have to edit the noise.
08:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:10 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:11 Chelsea, did you quit?
08:12 Or were you at the verge of quitting?
08:16 What is the story?
08:17 I was at the verge of quitting.
08:19 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:21 We have to face it, Tito Boy.
08:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:24 Competition this time.
08:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:26 Four months.
08:26 So [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] I came in here as an independent.
08:30 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] resources.
08:32 I didn't have much--
08:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:34 In other words.
08:34 Yes.
08:35 Financial.
08:35 So [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] and I was almost there to quit.
08:40 But because of the people who supported me--
08:42 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:47 Why?
08:47 Because you have to pay for your gown?
08:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:52 I come back and forth to Bulacan.
08:55 So [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] transportation, the dress,
08:57 the makeup, everything, you have to provide it on your own.
09:01 Didn't you have a team?
09:02 Didn't you have a glam team?
09:03 I had.
09:04 You had?
09:04 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:07 When I almost gave up, they were there to support me.
09:11 So [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:17 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:19 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:20 Most importantly, my mom and my dad.
09:22 Of course.
09:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:24 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:31 Also, because of the government, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:35 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:37 Yes.
09:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:40 And all the other local government units,
09:42 when [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] I had to really reach out to them.
09:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:49 Well, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:56 I wouldn't say that.
09:57 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:04 Just so that we can have a little food.
10:06 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:09 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:10 I had to go and find a dress on my online selling.
10:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:15 Yes.
10:16 Oh my god.
10:17 But where does that fabulous gown come from?
10:22 For the evening gown, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:26 we had to come up to an idea where she's just regal,
10:31 where she is ready to fight for the crown,
10:34 and that she can just wear it.
10:35 That moment when she steps out the stage, she is the queen.
10:39 That came.
10:40 That was the inspiration.
10:41 That cape made a lot of difference.
10:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:48 That cape made a lot of difference.
10:50 But congratulations again.
10:51 Congratulations.
10:52 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:54 Right now, we'll have to do fast talk.
10:56 [APPLAUSE]
11:00 OK.
11:01 Chelsea.
11:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:04 Universe, multiverse.
11:06 Universe.
11:06 Corona, love life.
11:07 Corona.
11:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:11 Makeup, no makeup.
11:13 Both.
11:14 Break the rule, follow the rule.
11:15 Follow the rule.
11:16 Heels, sneakers.
11:19 Both.
11:20 Swimwear, long gown.
11:22 Long gown.
11:22 Favorite beauty queen of all time.
11:25 Pia Wurtzbach.
11:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:28 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:34 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:34 Affected [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:36 No.
11:37 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:40 No.
11:41 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:44 Sometimes.
11:45 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:47 Yes.
11:48 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:50 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:53 If there is a chance, I will--
11:55 Biggest asset.
11:56 My smile.
11:57 I'm sorry.
11:57 If there's a chance, yes, you will.
11:59 Your biggest fear.
12:01 Losing my parents.
12:02 Others.
12:03 First or self first?
12:05 Self first.
12:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:11 Chelsea Manalo, see you in the universe.
12:13 Lights on or lights off?
12:17 Lights-- lights on.
12:21 Happiness or chocolates?
12:23 Happiness.
12:24 Best time for happiness.
12:26 To wear your Miss Universe crown.
12:28 I am Chelsea Manalo, and I am--
12:30 I am your next Miss Universe Philippines 2024.
12:34 [APPLAUSE]
12:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:44 And then, of course, I want to talk about bashing and bullying.
12:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:50 Yes.
12:50 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:56 [APPLAUSE]
12:58 [MUSIC PLAYING]
13:01 [APPLAUSE]
13:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:11 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:14 Hi, Chelsea.
13:14 Chelsea, you love drinking water.
13:17 Yes.
13:17 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:18 Because this is very good for our voice.
13:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:22 Because water is good, right?
13:24 1, 2, 3, go.
13:25 [MUSIC PLAYING]
13:29 Oh.
13:29 Oh.
13:30 [MUSIC PLAYING]
13:33 Oh.
13:34 Oh.
13:34 [APPLAUSE]
13:35 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:41 OK, you have a very good attitude about bashing.
13:45 What do you do?
13:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:48 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:54 How I would cope with it.
13:56 So how do you do it?
13:58 To never listen to them.
13:59 Never let it get into your heart.
14:01 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:02 Things will change.
14:04 You know, if you will let yourself affected--
14:06 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:08 They would call me names, very harsh names.
14:11 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:13 I would look at myself.
14:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:16 So every time I would come home and cry,
14:19 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:21 There will come a time that your story will be heard,
14:24 and your beauty is what makes you unique.
14:27 And we are now hearing the story.
14:29 And we are now seeing the beauty.
14:32 First time to see in person, you are a winner.
14:35 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:36 From the bottom of my heart.
14:37 And then, on bashing then, I was reading
14:40 a material that says, every time you're bashed, you say,
14:42 I'm done.
14:43 I'm not going to allow whatever you say into my space,
14:47 because I worked so hard for my piece.
14:50 OK, let's talk about the top 10.
14:52 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:53 Yes, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] we have like five crowns there.
15:02 So [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] if I will get the top 10,
15:05 I will somehow win a crown, because I
15:08 know I'm going to do my best.
15:10 I see [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] front runners,
15:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:15 So [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] Miss Universe Philippines crown.
15:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:19 Top five.
15:21 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] your best friend.
15:23 How did that feel?
15:24 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:26 Well, I feel, of course, when I got into the top five,
15:30 I was already eyeing for the Miss Universe crown.
15:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] I'm going to give it my all.
15:34 When I went out the stage, I'm going to give it my all.
15:36 I'm going to smile.
15:38 And with or without the crown, I have already
15:41 made history of being a woman of representation.
15:44 OK, but Miss Iloilo, who was one of the strongest,
15:48 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] top five, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:51 Well, behind the stage--
15:53 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:56 Actually, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] five,
15:57 I don't know if it was seen, but I looked at her.
16:00 And she kind of gave me that smile, nodding her head.
16:04 Because I know that this is not just a victory for me.
16:06 It's not just a crown for me.
16:08 It's a crown for every woman.
16:09 And it's a crown for my best friend, Alexie, too.
16:11 Q&A, you nailed it.
16:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:14 You nailed it.
16:15 OK, top two.
16:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:18 What was in your mind?
16:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:23 I mean, what actually goes on in the mind of someone
16:27 who is there?
16:28 At that time, I was praying so hard.
16:31 I was praying so hard.
16:34 What was that prayer like?
16:36 For God to give me that sign, to give me the crown.
16:41 Because I knew I came into the competition,
16:43 and I wanted Miss Universe.
16:45 I love Atis Stacy.
16:46 I was telling her how much I loved her.
16:48 I think that was the conversation that we were--
16:50 I was telling her while we were holding each other's hand.
16:54 But we took our time to pray.
16:56 And I told myself, with the crown or without it,
17:01 I am already a woman of representation.
17:04 And this is me sharing it to the whole Filipino people.
17:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:08 With or without the crown.
17:09 But Lord, please, give me the crown.
17:10 Give it to me.
17:11 Yes.
17:12 [LAUGHTER]
17:14 I like that.
17:15 Let's just do one Q&A.
17:18 OK.
17:20 If you were to be given a choice,
17:22 would you rather be-- from Miss Gloria Diaz in one
17:24 of the pageants-- would you rather
17:26 be smart or beautiful?
17:30 And why?
17:31 I think it's really beautiful if you are also smart.
17:35 Because this is not just you being beautiful physically.
17:38 I am a woman of representation.
17:40 I know I did not have that standard.
17:42 But if you are beautiful on the inside corner or your soul,
17:46 it would radiate on the outside.
17:47 And being beautiful does not have to be physically shown.
17:50 But when you are smart, you can really
17:53 radiate towards the people who are surrounded with you.
17:56 And I think that is what makes me unique.
17:58 That is what makes me empowered.
17:59 And that is what makes me beautiful.
18:01 Thank you.
18:02 [APPLAUSE]
18:02 Thank you very much.
18:05 And last, last [INAUDIBLE] complete the statement again.
18:09 I am Chelsea Manalo.
18:11 And--
18:12 I am your next Miss Universe 2024.
18:15 [APPLAUSE]
18:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:17 Be kind.
18:25 Make your Nana and Tare proud.
18:26 Say thank you.
18:27 And let's do one good thing a day
18:29 and make this world a better place.
18:31 Goodbye for now, and God bless.
18:32 [MUSIC PLAYING]
18:33 Thank you, Bob.
18:33 Thank you, Peter Boy.
18:34 [MUSIC PLAYING]
18:35 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
