00:00Miss Universe Philippines 2025, Naitai Kapuso, please welcome Atisa Manalo.

00:18Thank you. Thank you for being here.

00:20What's going on?

00:20Marami marami. I love that walk.

00:22Thank you for having me.

00:25Do you have a name? I mean, every queen in this country has a walk.

00:28Do you have a name for the walk, Willanaman?

00:30People call my walk, Pambansang Manika Walk.

00:32So I'm going to run with that one.

00:34So how does a Pambansang Manika Walk go?

00:38How does it go?

00:39Just being sweet and demure, but also powerful.

00:47So it's sweet and demure, but powerful.

00:51The powerful comes from the...

00:53Yeah, that's the sense.

00:54I noticed that.

00:56Would you like to walk with me?

00:57Yes, let's do it.

00:58Oh, gliding.

00:59You might be...

01:00You might be compared.

01:02I mean, that's my...

01:02Then I can step up my game.

01:05Yeah, you have to.

01:06Okay?

01:07Three, two, one, go.

01:10Then power stand.

01:12How dare.

01:13Thank you very much.

01:18Thanks, Tito Boy.

01:19Wow, five days after the contest, after the pageant, has everything shrunk in?

01:25No, no, it hasn't.

01:26Hindi pa?

01:26I still feel normal.

01:28I still feel like myself.

01:30I still see the same face in the mirror every day.

01:32So I'm like, this is just an additional sash and crown as of now.

01:36That's a nice attitude, di ba?

01:38Parang corona lamang ang nadagdag.

01:41But it was a hard journey to get to that crown.

01:44Of course, it was.

01:45Ngirap, no?

01:45Ngirap.

01:46I started doing pageants at 10 years old.

01:49In my research, at 4, you already joined the contest.

01:52I was 4th grade.

01:53I was 10 years old.

01:54Ah, so 10 years old, 4th grade.

01:57Yeah.

01:57Okay, imagine that.

01:59At saka, fast forward, 2018, you competed with CAT and you won international, Binibining Pilipinas International.

02:06And then last year, you were with Chelsea, Manalo.

02:10And then this year, you got the crown.

02:13Tanong at Isa, anong iba ang ginawa mo kaya nakuha mo ang corona?

02:18This year?

02:18Yes.

02:19I made sure I wasn't in my head.

02:21All throughout before, like the…

02:23Anong ibig sabihin?

02:24You weren't in your head.

02:25Because in 2024, I was overthinking everything.

02:28I had a plan a year before it even happened.

02:31Every single move, every single decision, I overthink, I plan it.

02:36And then for this year, it was sudden that I joined.

02:40I wasn't even supposed to be here.

02:42But the opportunity came, a lot of doors opened for me.

02:44So I was like, why not take it?

02:46So I was more feeling, I was more experiencing than thinking and planning.

02:51Ganda.

02:52You know, that's a very important lesson.

02:53Kasi naalala ko, you were supposed to run.

02:56Tatakbo ko sana si Atisa bilang kunsehal sa Candelaria.

03:00I was, yeah.

03:00You had to withdraw your candidacy for you to be able to join.

03:05Yes.

03:06A million versus Philippines.

03:07Tama, no?

03:08Yes.

03:08Ah, okay.

03:09Overthinking.

03:10Totoo ho yan.

03:11Kasi the art is, even sa actors, when you overthink, medyo may pakakontrive.

03:18Yeah.

03:18Study, research, rehearse, and then make, kasi making it look like the most natural.

03:25And making it look like spontaneous is a whole challenge.

03:27Yeah, exactly, Tito.

03:28Ang ganda.

03:29I learned that from Atisa today.

03:31So don't overthink.

03:32Know what you're doing, but the moment you're on stage, let go.

03:35Yeah, exactly.

03:36Like, you've practiced for it so many times.

03:38You already know what to do.

03:39It's muscle memory.

03:41So at that time, you just gotta experience it and like hear people shouting for you and

03:45like living in it.

03:47Alam mo, palagay ko, you're gonna get the Miss Universe crown.

03:49Yeah, it's clean than that one.

04:19Yeah, it's clean.

04:49Yeah, it's clean.
