00:00Aren't you tired of your videos being posted by fans year after year?
00:06I saw that it's a coping mechanism.
00:10I laugh at the fans.
00:12Of course, I'm very grateful.
00:14But I'm very hopeful as well that we'll have a fifth Miss Universe in the Philippines.
00:18With all these learnings from your 2018 up to now,
00:21what should we send?
00:23Because things are changing again.
00:26I know.
00:27I was also surprised by the landing of the top five.
00:57So I'm excited for her as well.
00:59But who we should send?
01:01I just think someone who really wants it.
01:05I love seeing girls with eagle factor because I relate to that.
01:10And I love to see consistency.
01:12Because for me, and I know other people online have different opinions,
01:16but for me, as soon as you step out the door on any given day,
01:20you give 110%.
01:22I understand that drive won't look the same on every girl.
01:26But it can be manifested in different ways.
01:28It's not to say that if she doesn't appear to be eagle, she's not an eagle.
01:31Or she doesn't want it.
01:33But I think being able to communicate that is really important.
01:37So yeah, I'm excited for whoever we send next.
01:41Can you do it again?
01:43No, I can't.
01:45I'm already a fairy godmother.
01:47Miss Universe All-Stars.
01:49Miss Universe All-Stars.
01:51Don't do it.
01:53At least you're self-mentoring actively.
01:56I love to mentor the girls.
01:58Teaching them your witty ways.
02:00Yeah, not necessarily in say a coaching term,
02:02but I'm always willing to give advice.
02:04And if they approach me, I'm happy to give whatever help that I can.
02:08Because I remember when I was a candidate,
02:10so we're going to look up to the former queens,
02:12the wisdom that they have.
02:14Because as I mentioned, it's really so much pressure to be a Miss Philippines.
02:18I would even argue that maybe only five countries in the world
02:21maybe feel that much pressure in the realm of Miss Universe.
02:24Just because we have so much fanfare and love and admiration for pageantry.
02:29So it can be a lot.
02:30Especially when you consider these girls are 22, 21, 24.
02:34I mean, that's so young to have that much pressure.
02:37So yeah, I really do put myself out there and message them as soon as they win.
02:41And even throughout their year to say,
02:43Oh, I'm here if ever you need anything.
02:45You don't grumble?
02:47No.
02:48Or you make a program?
02:51Like a playbook?
02:53Playbook!
02:54But it's not in the pipeline at the moment.
02:57But yeah, why not?
02:58Just a cat reaction to the continental queens because it's the first time.
03:01Yeah, I don't really understand the system.
03:04As I understand it, it's like who scored high,
03:07they became continental, but in the premiums.
03:10I think it's like an org chosen.
03:12Oh, okay.
03:13I think it's great.
03:14I mean, at least it's included in other travels,
03:16Chelsea and the other queens.
03:18And she's with her roomie too, Miss Peru.
03:20So it's great that they're besties and they get to experience that together.
03:25So I think it's wonderful.
03:26I mean, more countries representing alongside the Raining Miss Universe.
03:30I mean, I hope they group projects together like Goodwill or Charity, etc.
03:36So I think it's a nice image of collaboration.
03:39That it's not just the one reigning throughout the whole year,
03:42but a collection of queens.
03:48.
