00:16So, itong pageant nito, they speak Spanish.

00:19It is very Spanish-based, based on Latin heritage.

00:23So, whoever wins this pageant is a spokesperson for the Latin community and Hispanic culture.

00:29So, who can join the contest?

00:32So, we need to have a Hispanic culture and a Hispanic influence.

00:36So, of course, the Philippines was colonized by Spanish for 300 plus years, right?

00:42So, they let us join the pageant because we have so many similar cultures and traditions as the Latinos.
