00:00Welcome back from Mexico.

00:02Thank you. Today's fresh.

00:04You did a great job as always.

00:08Some are even petitioning that you should be the main host next year.

00:10Well, I would be really open to the opportunity because I really look forward to the hosting position of Miss Universe.

00:17Because one, it feels like a full circle moment for me because I relate to what the girls are going through.

00:22I understand the emotions, the pressure, the excitement, and I understand what it's like to watch in the audience.

00:28I understand also what it's like to be backstage and to be a commentator or to be a host.

00:33So, yeah, I really look forward to going back.

00:36And I think they announced it in Argentina, right?

00:39I don't know if it's true.

00:41It's just a gossip.

00:43But I would love to be back next year as well because I really do enjoy it.

00:46It seems like your energy is higher than Olivia Poole's.

00:50I just give my best.

00:53Because, again, I have the heart of the fans.

00:55So, I want to give them my all.

00:58And just, you know, be able to translate the joy.

01:01Because, of course, if you're watching from home, you're not in the arena.

01:03You don't feel the energy per se.

01:05So, that's always been a goal of mine.

01:07I want people at home to feel the energy, the excitement, the nerves.

01:11Yeah.

01:12Thoughts on Chelsea?

01:14Oh, I was so sad.

01:16Because when they announced it, I was getting changed.

01:19So, I actually didn't hear who was in the top 12.

01:22I was still in the top hit.

01:24We had a very short hit.

01:26They cut it down to a quarter because of the time constraint.

01:29So, I didn't even know who was in the top 12.

01:31And then after, when I was asking who made it, who made it, the Philippines didn't make it.

01:35Because I really felt that her swimsuit performance was really strong.

01:39The finals were stronger for me than the prequels.

01:43And I think she performed great.

01:45So, if you were asking me as a judge, she would have been an easy top 12 pick.

01:49But it's in the judges' hands.

01:52But I'm really proud of her.

01:54I think she really stayed true to herself this whole journey.

01:57And I think the pressure being put on a Miss Philippines is one of a kind.

02:00Especially for someone as young as her.

02:03And I think she carried herself with a lot of grace, with authenticity.

02:06I don't feel she ever changed herself.

02:08And I really admire that.

02:10And I hope that she's feeling proud of her achievement as well.
