00:23:59TranscriptionWords

00:24:29So I've been

00:24:59to really share my

00:25:29talk because he's

00:25:59So you're a successful

00:26:29day routine, so I'm a

00:26:59everyday routine, so I'm a

00:27:29my family, so

00:27:35My family raised me now parang like the business like board so parang sabi ko parang ako yung mag-iba ng parang route

00:27:45Ah, okay. So hindi kayo bang advantage yung pagkikin businessman sa pagjoin yung pageant?

00:27:51Siguro when it comes to sales kasi I do like ano eh, like pag-usap ako sa iba't ibang tao like mas older sakin, mas bata sakin so mas nakakausap ko yung

00:28:03and then kinukuha ko lang yung learnings na kailangan ko sa isang tao like when it comes to business, when it comes to workout like iba't iba eh so yun yung parang advantage ko

00:28:18At alam namin yung pinagalaban mo rin talaga as a businessman. Yes. So let's go with Mr. Bataan. Yes. Personal question.

00:28:28So Ivan, di ba alam naman natin na you're still a student especially taking up hospitality management

00:28:37and now you're competing for MIPH 2025. Yes.

00:28:41Paano mo na handle yung time especially you're a student and competing for a title?

00:28:46Well actually the most important thing here is time management talaga.

00:28:50You need to focus on study and at the same time with pageant. You need to plot or

00:28:55ma-list mo yung mga gagawin mo before doing things. Pero first you need to focus on your study.

00:29:01Huwag lang basta in pageantry, in fashion, on social medias. You need to focus first on your study kasi

00:29:09Let's say, let's think na tinuturo sa akin, sa amin, ng mom ko, ng magulang ko. You need to focus on study

00:29:14and then after mag-graduate, you can do whatever you want. So ayun, I do time management.

00:29:20Siyempre na, um, in the plot kot in a time, actually I have a notebook. To do it. Kasi at first

00:29:30it's a bit hard. But soon, when you're ready, um, um, your body, your body, your mind set,

00:29:37so yun lang, time management is the key. So you have a planner. Yeah. I have actually, I have a lot of planner.

00:29:44Oh, yeah. Cause I don't think...

00:29:46Actually, yun lang maganda, no? As a student. Yeah. And competing for a pageant.

00:29:51Yes. You need to set a notes then also. For, or put some, um, sa phone, your notes, and then put the time.

00:29:59Para alam mo, it's, oh, eto na pala yung dapat gawin mo. I need to study. Oh, I need to photo shoot.

00:30:04I need to, someway set on the social media. I need to promote. Yun.

00:30:09I think what's common about both of their answers is that they, they, they're very disciplined.

00:30:14Yeah. And it starts there.

00:30:16Yes. It starts within yourself.

00:30:17All the changes start with discipline. Yeah.

00:30:20Now let's move to the next question. Um, for Mr. Manila, um, it is your first time joining a pageant.

00:30:27That's correct.

00:30:28Yes. Um, so what, um, how would you like to, um, like package yourself na you are still deserving of the crown,

00:30:37even though it's your first time joining it?

00:30:39Yeah. Um, well, actually people knew me already, I think, um, on different platforms,

00:30:46especially I'll be having, um, a show, a travel show that I'll be hosting.

00:30:51Oh. So yeah, that's a regular show and also on TikTok as well.

00:30:54So I think this is the different side of Lloyd since that, you know, I never disclose about my mental illness, to be honest.

00:31:03So people knew me already for, for four years, for some of years already.

00:31:08But this is the time that I actually disclose my mental health issues because I want to package myself not just about aiming the crown, to be honest.

00:31:17You want, as I mentioned earlier, I want to package myself as really focused on advocating for what I think is right.

00:31:24So I want people to see that other side of Lloyd. Not the Lloyd na nasa TikTok lang who wants to like make people happy or najo-joke lang or anything.

00:31:34Or soro soro ng TikTok, o nag-doon ng mga thirst trap.

00:31:37Thirst trap! Thirst trap! Thirst trap!

00:31:38Thirst trap! Thirst trap!

00:31:39Thirst trap! Thirst trap!

00:31:40Um, medyo...

00:31:41Aho!

00:31:42Aho!

00:31:43Aho! Aho!

00:31:44Aho!

00:31:45Aho!

00:31:46Medyo waw.

00:31:47So, you know, I want to show the other side of Lloyd that this is the Lloyd that you're really...

00:31:51Advocacy driven.

00:31:52That, yeah, this is the other side of Lloyd that's very serious and not really, you know, showbiz Lloyd.

00:31:59So, yeah.

00:32:00Oh, that's a very nice answer.

00:32:05No, actually, because you keep repeating your advocacy.

00:32:10So, that's why I really appreciate that.

00:32:12Because, I mean, people don't usually associate...

00:32:16I know. Actually, mental health issues is a really vulnerable topic.

00:32:20And for you to be able to, like, you know, present yourself with that,

00:32:25I heard some other artists, they don't really disclose that.

00:32:30Because they're scared that they're tagged for the rest of your life.

00:32:34But, you know, I'm here now.

00:32:35I mean, this is the bravest thing.

00:32:38Yeah, but this is the bravest thing that I did so far.

00:32:41So, let's see what happens.

00:32:43Okay. Thank you so much.

00:32:45So, let's proceed to, of course, Rizal province.

00:32:49Rizal!

00:32:49If I'm not mistaken, Julius, you just won the crown in your province, right?

00:32:54Yes.

00:32:55Recent, a few months ago.

00:32:56Yeah, a few months ago.

00:32:57And then you were appointed to represent Rizal province.

00:33:00Yes.

00:33:00Right?

00:33:01So, what made you decide to say yes to join a national pageant?

00:33:05Well...

00:33:05Do you believe that this is the perfect time?

00:33:08Yes.

00:33:08I believe this is the perfect time.

00:33:10Because, just to let you know, prior joining Ginoong Rizal, that's my first pageant after six years.

00:33:19So, I was, I believe, 18 years old at the time when I started joining in my barangay and then in my municipality where I won the crown.

00:33:31And then after that, there's a pandemic.

00:33:34So, fortunately, there's a lot of activities.

00:33:37There's a lot of opportunities that was postponed.

00:33:39And I decided to work as well.

00:33:43And then, this year, I decided to continue my study.

00:33:52And then, at the same time, I'm working.

00:33:55And there was a time where my handler mentioned that I think it's about time to continue what you've started.

00:34:03So, that's why I decided to join in Ginoong Rizal.

00:34:06And then, luckily, I won a crown.

00:34:08And then, after that, I think it's about time to join the national stage.

00:34:15But, according to my mom, I'm just, I just want to make sure that you are completely or you are confident.

00:34:24Especially, you will be competing with, you know, a lot of handsome guys out there.

00:34:30Yeah.

00:34:31Welcome, guys. Welcome.

00:34:36You deserve it.

00:34:38But, yeah.

00:34:42But kidding aside, I am very thankful, especially for those people who are believing in me, for believing in my capability.

00:34:48But, you know, I can carry the whole province of Rizal in the national stage.

00:34:52And soon, to carry the Philippines in the international stage.

00:34:56So, that's actually one of my dreams.

00:34:58To bring pride and honor to our country and to Rizal province.

00:35:01Great. Nice naman.

00:35:02And what you said, you are a student at the same time, working.

00:35:06Yeah.

00:35:07So, grabe, no? Grabe.

00:35:09Nakakatuwa lang talaga.

00:35:10Kasi ako before, nag-working student din ako.

00:35:13And it's really hard for me to time management.

00:35:15Pero, yung mga lumalaban sa ganyan, saludo ko sa inyo.

00:35:19Yes.

00:35:19Siguro, aside from time management, kata na sabi ni Mr. Bataan, siguro you just have to be open, especially on your superiors.

00:35:28Okay?

00:35:28So, you just have to make sure na aware din yung mga prof mo on your activities outside school and also your managers as well.

00:35:37So, work.

00:35:37And I'm very thankful and very lucky na yung mga managers ko sa work is sobrang supportive sila sa akin.

00:35:44So, thank you so much.

00:35:45Shout out to you guys.

00:35:46Thank you so much for supporting me to my friends and para sa inyo lahat ng to.

00:35:52You know what, Mr. Rizal?

00:35:53We're also thankful for you, for believing in your own capabilities and your capacity.

00:35:59We're thankful to hear your words of wisdom this afternoon.

00:36:02I want to add lang, as long as you have a great support system talaga, everything is possible.

00:36:16That's true.

00:36:17Surrounding yourself in positive vibes.

00:36:19Positive people, yeah.

00:36:21Okay.

00:36:22Now, our final question for Mr. Muntinlupa.

00:36:25You mentioned earlier you work in human resources at a PPO company.

00:36:28What challenges are similar to working in that industry and also in pageantry?

00:36:37Whew.

00:36:39So, I worked in BPO industry for four years and I'm part of the recruitment team.

00:36:48And my last position, I was a senior recruitment specialist.

00:36:51So, as an introvert person, I need to socialize with other candidates who's applying.

00:36:59So, I conducted the initial interview.

00:37:01I need to know what their backgrounds.

00:37:04So, we are different.

00:37:06We have different walks of life.

00:37:09So, working as a human resource, I just encountered one-on-one session.

00:37:16But in this pageant, like in this industry, like Mr. International, you need to face a hundred of people.

00:37:24So, it takes bravery, courage, and determination, of course, because you need to work on with your body.

00:37:32Not just only your body, but also your mental health.

00:37:36And joining this pageantry, you need also to know what's your purpose.

00:37:43So, I need, oh yeah, I am advocating, I mean, you need to know your purpose because you will be representing the Philippines at the end of this pageant.

00:37:55So, you will not be representing our provinces now.

00:37:58So, we're representing whole cities, what they're representing now, the country, the Philippines.

00:38:04So, yeah, it takes courage speaking in the public.

00:38:08So, that's the challenge that I can say.

00:38:11That's similar.

00:38:12Yeah.

00:38:13I agree with that.

00:38:14And also, when you said the purpose, because it's, I mean, this journey, it's really, it has a lot to do with commitment because you can't just join here and then quit halfway.

00:38:25You need to see it through.

00:38:27And so, commitment, purpose, discipline, really, Matt.

00:38:32Why is it like this?

00:38:33I have a budget, Matt.

00:38:35What are you fighting for?

00:38:37Ms. Pev?

00:38:38I win.

00:38:38Sorry.

00:38:40I'm going to be Ms. Pev.

00:38:42No, but thank you guys for answering your individual questions.

00:38:45You just have one more general question for all of you.

00:38:48You have to answer it one by one.

00:38:50Okay.

00:38:50What legacy do you hope to leave for the future generation of the Mr. International Philippines organization?

00:38:59Start with me.

00:39:00You want?

00:39:01Yeah, who wants to speak up first?

00:39:03Oh, I'm sorry, I'm going to answer it.

00:39:04Oh, legacy.

00:39:05Okay.

00:39:06So, that's what I have mentioned a while ago that we need to have purpose.

00:39:11So, I joined Mr. International because I already know my purpose.

00:39:15My purpose is I am empowering the youth through sports, and that's my advocacy.

00:39:22So, just to let you know, I grew up independently without the aid of anyone.

00:39:27I was granted full scholarship in college just to get my bachelor's degree up until I become an HR practitioner.

00:39:36So, the legacy that I want to give to Mr. International is that you need to know your purpose.

00:39:45You need to know how to turn your weakness into strength.

00:39:51And if I will win one of the crown in Mr. International, I will continue the legacy of what our reigning kings.

00:40:02And also, I am willing and I am, yeah, I am willing to take responsibility to work with organizations.

00:40:10So, that's my legacy that I can give to Mr. International.

00:40:16Okay.

00:40:17Now, let's follow it up with the next.

00:40:20Yes.

00:40:20Mr. Rizal?

00:40:22Oh, God.

00:40:23Okay.

00:40:24Where is your name?

00:40:25For me, the legacy that I want to leave behind is, of course, the culture and the culture of the Filipinos.

00:40:38Because, just like what he said, so we will be representing, if ever we win a crown, we won a crown.

00:40:43So, we will be representing the Philippines in the international stage.

00:40:46So, I want to bring the culture of the Philippines in the international stage.

00:40:51Okay.

00:40:51And then, aside from that, you know, carry the advocacy that I believe in because I always advocate for education because I actually fight for it.

00:41:00I fought for education, especially.

00:41:02I'm very thankful for what I have right now, that I have it.

00:41:07And very thankful to the people who are supporting me all throughout my journey.

00:41:12So, I think with those kinds of values, with those kinds of beliefs, I want to carry the, you know, the beliefs of the organization, carry everything, what the reigning kings did, so that we can make the Philippines proud.

00:41:27I think the legacy that I really want to leave after I was in Somalia is to never stop dreaming.

00:41:40You know, when I was diagnosed with mental illness, with depression, my life stopped for like eight years.

00:41:47I didn't even get to like achieve something in my life.

00:41:50So, you know, it's okay to pause and stop to just pick up yourself because, you know, you need to be able to have that, to have yourself again before you continue.

00:42:01And people would say, nah, just do it like this, just do it like that.

00:42:04No, you need to like to pattern yourself on your own time.

00:42:09So, never stop dreaming and it will always find your, you will always find your way.

00:42:15Always.

00:42:16You just need time.

00:42:17You just need time always.

00:42:19Yeah, that's it.

00:42:20Okay, thank you, Mr. Manila.

00:42:22Let's hear from Mr. Manila.

00:42:24For me, like, legacy na iiwan sa Mr. International, for me, I'm a health advocate kasi.

00:42:32Like, so, kasi like, if you don't have a good health, so you will not, you will not, what do you call this, you will not do what you want in life.

00:42:47So, for me, health kasi, kasi I'm like, I do my diet, I do my routine everyday, more on a health advocate ako.

00:43:04So, yung consistency, discipline mo, and hard work, parang like, dun namiikot ako.

00:43:12So, I do my routine and my time management in, in, in, in every day.

00:43:21So, uh, so, parang gusto kong iwang legacy is, if you don't look for your health, you will not grow, you will not work for every day.

00:43:35So, yun lang.

00:43:37Thank you so much, Mr. Lezaina.

00:43:39Let's go with Mr. Batara.

00:43:41So, we are the manifestation of the values of this organization, of course.

00:43:46So, for me, I joined this pageant, yun lang, because you all have a legacy, a purpose.

00:43:51And for me, my purpose is not only to win the crown, or the sassure, the title, but also, I also have an advocacy.

00:44:00Not only to, um, inspire the youth, especially the younger generation, but I also have an advocacy.

00:44:06And that is, there is no single use of plastic.

00:44:09Yeah.

00:44:10Yeah.

00:44:11I really want to maximize the use of this platform, just for the awareness about it.

00:44:15Yeah.

00:44:16I'm more into nature, like that.

00:44:20And I want, yeah, sustainability.

00:44:21I want to leave a footprint to everyone, and to leave a legacy that, about the knowledge, about the bad effects of plastic in our health.

00:44:32And I want to be the epitome or the model.

00:44:36I want to start with it myself, and then spread it to others.

00:44:39And I'm going to use this platform to do it.

00:44:42So, yeah.

00:44:43That's it.

00:44:44Yeah.

00:44:44You know, it's really interesting to see what, um, what they stand for.

00:44:49Because, um, we get to see, like, you know the quote, every action you take is a vote to the person you wish to become.

00:44:57And it starts with their advocacy.

00:44:59It starts with their intention to follow through with that advocacy.

00:45:03And I agree with you.

00:45:04Because they're the ones who are fighting.

00:45:06Yeah.

00:45:06Before joining, I'm pretty sure, before joining a pageant, may mga pinagalaban na kayong advocacy, right?

00:45:12Not only because you joined the pageant, mayroon kayong advocacy.

00:45:15Kaya may fair no?

00:45:16Yes, but different.

00:45:17Yes, but different.

00:45:17And perfect platform ito talagang, Mr. International.

00:45:19It's going to amplify, I think, our advocacy.

00:45:23So we each have it.

00:45:23So this platform gives us, you know, na-amplify lang yung voice namin.

00:45:28Actually, related nga, this is a question nyo kanina.

00:45:32Contessant, only, um, to join the pageant to win or to pull out.

00:45:37Like, what you said earlier.

00:45:40Okay.

00:45:41Okay lang.

00:45:41Continue, continue.

00:45:43We're on live.

00:45:44So continue.

00:45:45Sorry pala.

00:45:46Continue, wala, wala.

00:45:47That's it.

00:45:48Yes, related lang.

00:45:50Actually, because...

00:45:51Before I jump...

00:45:52You are...

00:45:54Mentioned.

00:46:39So sinun na niya na, sa'yo na yung hot take na to.

00:46:43Okay.

00:46:43So sorry.

00:46:44Okay.

00:46:44So sorry.

00:46:45I'll read the hot take.

00:46:47Oh, I'm so sorry.

00:46:48I'll read the hot take again, and you either agree or disagree, and then the rest will,

00:46:55kung gusto niyung pumalag, or do you wanna agree?

00:46:59Yeah.

00:46:59Papalag.

00:47:00Papalag.

00:47:00Share your thoughts, guys.

00:47:01Papalag.

00:47:02Just share your thoughts.

00:47:03Okay.

00:47:03So for your hot take, you can spot the guys.

00:47:07This is in the context of the male pageant.

00:47:10Okay.

00:47:10You can spot the guys who joined for the crown versus the ones who joined for the clout.

00:47:16Well, siguro for me, I'll agree with that.

00:47:20Siguro, yes.

00:47:21I can spot them siguro at the end of the pageant itself.

00:47:24Kasi you can see to them, you can see to them, you can see to their commitment.

00:47:29Parang ready na si Montel.

00:47:32Parang ready na mag-degate na.

00:47:35You can see to their commitment, yung preparations pa lang, everything that you do in pageants reflects

00:47:42you.

00:47:44Parang yun yung, that's why I agree.

00:47:46About you, Mr. Montelupa, what was that again?

00:47:51I know, like, I agree.

00:47:52No, lalaman mo yung answer.

00:47:53Oh, I thought lalaman.

00:47:54I agree.

00:47:55Okay.

00:47:55I agree.

00:47:56I agree.

00:47:57I agree.

00:48:00I agree.

00:48:02I agree.

00:48:03Pero it depends.

00:48:05Okay.

00:48:05Kasi, like, for me, it depends kung makakausap ko yung guy.

00:48:10Kasi, syempre, like, the personality, kung ano yung goal niya, it depends.

00:48:17Lala tamo na for the cloud lang to.

00:48:21Oh, oh, oh.

00:48:21For the cloud ka lang.

00:48:23Pero, hindi naman niya mag-based sa looks, right?

00:48:26Oh, yeah.

00:48:26His personality goes, depende sa, how does he talk.

00:48:31Okay.

00:48:32Yes.

00:48:33Next hot take naman.

00:48:34Tapos mag-assign ka.

00:48:35Yes, okay.

00:48:37No one watches Mr.

00:48:38Oh, no, assign first.

00:48:39Okay, let's for Rizal.

00:48:42For Rizal.

00:48:42That's na sa yun yung mic.

00:48:44Okay.

00:48:45No one watches Mr. International Philippines for the advocacy.

00:48:51They watch for the abs and accents.

00:48:53For what?

00:48:54Sorry, abs.

00:48:55Ikaw, for you, Pao.

00:48:57Ako, pag nanonood ako ng Mr. International Advocacy, talaga.

00:49:01Ako, aside from that.

00:49:03Aside from that, yes.

00:49:04No, aside from the abs and the accent.

00:49:07We're fighting for the advocacy, right?

00:49:09Gusto mo?

00:49:11Okay, go.

00:49:13Again, no one watches Mr. International Philippines for the advocacy.

00:49:16They watch for the abs.

00:49:20Somehow, I would agree.

00:49:21Because, you know, male pageantry is not really, sometimes, not really advocacy-based.

00:49:30Not like that.

00:49:31Or advocacy-driven.

00:49:32So, I'm just being, this is Filipino culture.

00:49:35But, you know, beauty queens pageants are actually more on advocacy-based.

00:49:39Mr. Pageants is not.

00:49:41So, that's why I really want to change that, to be honest.

00:49:45That's why I love the question.

00:49:46That's why I get it from Mr. Rizal.

00:49:48You want to change that.

00:49:50You know, Mr. International actually has a lot of things to offer.

00:49:53We are, we help people.

00:49:57We just don't, like, give it, like, you know, our looks, our good, our physics.

00:50:02Mr. International, you need to be distinct to be Mr. International.

00:50:06And you need to inspire others.

00:50:09So, I really want to change that in male pageantry to be more advocacy-driven.

00:50:14Actually, 50-50.

00:50:15We can say 50-50 or more, you know, no one would be interested if you're really 100%.

00:50:21And, you know, we people, we people are actually, I don't want to say, attracted to physique.

00:50:28There's attraction.

00:50:29So, you need to be physically good as well.

00:50:31But, more, I want to change more advocacy-driven than you should be Mr. International Philippines.

00:50:36Yes, reminders to, a reminder to everyone watching Mr. International, they're not just good looks.

00:50:44Yeah, they're also, they also have substance.

00:50:47So, you guys, just like women, men are not objects.

00:50:50Please don't objectify, please don't objectify them.

00:50:53They're not just abs and muscles.

00:50:55And I just wanted to add, because I've been working with different organizations, especially for the male.

00:51:00But, I can see, there are improvements.

00:51:03They're, what they're fighting for, especially the MIPH organization.

00:51:09That's true.

00:51:09That's why this is the pageant that I really, um, chosen to join.

00:51:14Because I know Mr. International has a great credibility and value and integrity.

00:51:18So, I think my advocacy would be amplified if I, you know, if I win or what, or I can also use the platform to do that.

00:51:26Okay.

00:51:28Love it.

00:51:28So, you're in the right path.

00:51:29Yeah.

00:51:30You guys.

00:51:31Definitely.

00:51:32Okay, next hot take.

00:51:34Um, this is for Mr. Lucena.

00:51:37Pageant prep is similar to a full-time athlete training.

00:51:41Agree, disagree.

00:51:43Uh, agree.

00:51:45Agree.

00:51:45Why?

00:51:46Kasi, uh, the discipline, consistency, and the hard work is almost the same.

00:51:51So, different yung approach.

00:51:54Oh.

00:51:54So, sa athlete kasi, like, you do your, uh, your training, you do your, uh, your stretching, anything.

00:52:04Like, the, uh, the food, uh, and then sa pageant kasi, like, uh, uh, ibang approach siya man.

00:52:10Like, you, you do your, uh, training for, uh, for walk, for, uh, for question and answer.

00:52:17So, it's almost the same, but different approach for me.

00:52:21Yeah.

00:52:22Discipline and consistency pa rin.

00:52:23Yeah.

00:52:23Hard work.

00:52:24So, everyone agree naman lahat?

00:52:26Agree.

00:52:27Agree.

00:52:28Agree.

00:52:29Agree.

00:52:30Agree.

00:52:31Agree.

00:52:31Okay, I want to ask Mr. Bataan.

00:52:33In a batch of, in a batch of, in a batch of contestants, in a male pageant, it's easy to predict who will win.

00:52:45Do you agree or disagree?

00:52:47Every batch, like, parang ito na ina-eye.

00:52:49Ay, siya na.

00:52:51Parang siya pati siya na.

00:52:52For me, yes.

00:52:54Yeah.

00:52:55Yeah.

00:52:55So, in a male pageant, you can really see, like, who's to stand out.

00:52:59But, then again, um, based on the looks, but there's a lot of criteria.

00:53:03Ay, hindi lang naman basta looks, di ba?

00:53:04So, you have to, um, hear that person speak, like, the delivery, the idea, like, the authenticity, the, um, yung thought, is if it's really sincere, the advocacy, something like that.

00:53:17So, um, as long as you, uh, have those formula, those ingredients, then it's really easy to predict the winner.

00:53:24It's easy to predict if he performs.

00:53:27Yeah, if he performs.

00:53:28Diba?

00:53:29Yeah.

00:53:29Kasi naman meron, kasi for sa pageant, kasi FK, meron din talagang mga dark horses.

00:53:35So, ngayon, hindi pa nila nakikita yung mga contestant.

00:53:39Ay, hindi siya, hindi siya pansinin.

00:53:41Pero when you get there, super preliminary competition, or when you get interview her or him, manggugulat ka na lang talaga.

00:53:48And then, din mo masasabi, ay, possible winner to.

00:53:50So, yung mga dark horses, yun, yung mga, uh, underdog, huwag mawala ng pag-asa, especially sa pageantry.

00:53:57So, laban lang, ibigay nyo lahat ng best nyo, especially sa mga preliminary, ganyan.

00:54:02At saka, maging mabait ha, maging mabait sa media blockers.

00:54:06Always be good.

00:54:06Parang, para sa akin, parang, like, nangliligaw ka.

00:54:16Kasi, like, nagandahan ka, syempre, normal.

00:54:19Pero, yung personality, yun kasi hindi nakikita ng tao, eh.

00:54:22Like, syempre, if mag-vine pa kayo, as one, parang gano'n, for me.

00:54:29Yun lang.

00:54:30Agree ba? Agree ba? Agree ba lahat?

00:54:33Agree ako, agree.

00:54:34I also agree, because during the coronation, everything will change.

00:54:39Yeah.

00:54:39Especially because we do have closed-door interviews, so, um, the panel can see if that person has a substance.

00:54:48So, um, for me, you need to have substance.

00:54:53You need to know, again, we are, I mean, I'm running, I mean, I'm running always to my circle, like, you need to know your purpose.

00:55:01So, during the coronation, even your underdog, if you perform well, then there's a big possibility for you to win.

00:55:09I consider myself as a, um, underdog because, um, I, I don't post on social media because, yeah, again, I'm an introvert.

00:55:18So, I, um, I, um, making a step or boosting my confidence for me to post.

00:55:27So, yeah, there's a lot of candidates that I can see, like, can win for this duration of time.

00:55:34But during the coronation, it will change.

00:55:36Everything will change.

00:55:37Yeah, I agree.

00:55:38Yeah.

00:55:38There's no, like, permanent.

00:55:41So, change is constant.

00:55:43Yeah.

00:55:43All right.

00:55:44So, just to add, um, just to add, since the mention of the Manila, the mention of the Manila, the mention of the Manila,

00:55:49and, you know, I always believe in Dustin as well.

00:55:51If it's really meant for you, then it will be for you.

00:55:53Yeah.

00:55:54If it's for you.

00:55:55Because, um, again, this is my sixth pageant na yata.

00:55:59Six pageant ko na to.

00:56:00So, first national, yeah.

00:56:01So, um, if it's really for you, then God will give it to you.

00:56:08Oh, that's, that's a nice message to leave to the audience.

00:56:11Now, we're moving on to the final hot take.

00:56:15It's for Mr. Muntinlupa, the answer.

00:56:17Now, Mr. Muntinlupa, the hot take is,

00:56:20male pageants don't celebrate inclusivity and body positivity as much as in women-centric pageants.

00:56:30Okay.

00:56:31So, I observe, um, every generation, we are evolving.

00:56:35Especially, um, I saw a lot of posts on social media in, like, female pageants.

00:56:42They allow, um, married, plus size.

00:56:47So, there is inclusivity.

00:56:48So, for me, um, this time, it doesn't, it doesn't matter if you don't have this good body.

00:56:56But, again, if you want to be, um, living, if you want to look good in the camera,

00:57:04so you need to work out.

00:57:06But, in Mr. International, I believe they are very welcoming.

00:57:11Yeah, they, um, they, um, inclusivity is there.

00:57:14So, whatever, like, um, your physical facade, as long as you can, um, carry yourself properly

00:57:23on the stage and with confidence, right?

00:57:26So, I think it's, I mean, there's no problem for me.

00:57:30So, you don't agree that male pageants don't celebrate body positivity and inclusivity as

00:57:37much as female pageants.

00:57:38Yeah.

00:57:39Um, do you want to add something?

00:57:41Actually, you're good with that.

00:57:43Yeah.

00:57:43You're good.

00:57:44Okay.

00:57:46Everybody agrees.

00:57:47Everybody agrees.

00:57:48Yeah.

00:57:48That's right.

00:57:50Okay.

00:57:51So, so, male pageants celebrate and inclusivity.

00:57:54Yes.

00:57:54Okay.

00:57:54They encourage and they, I think they encourage that nowadays, right?

00:57:59So, it's so nice to hear from them.

00:58:00Yes.

00:58:01To hear their take.

00:58:02Yes, exactly.

00:58:04And especially ngayon, ngayon nasa competition kayo, so, ang daming nanonood sa nyo.

00:58:10So, always be good, guys.

00:58:12Diba?

00:58:13Kaya hindi nga pati na-

00:58:14Always be good kasi, yes.

00:58:16That was true though.

00:58:16Ayun kasi, hindi yan, hindi yan selective.

00:58:19Kailangan everyone.

00:58:21Talaga.

00:58:22Lahat.

00:58:22Yeah.

00:58:23The people you meet on the way up are also the people you meet if you're, yeah.

00:58:29If you go down.

00:58:30So, you need to always leave a good impression and be kind.

00:58:35Humble.

00:58:35Be humble.

00:58:36Exactly.

00:58:37Because, yan.

00:58:39So, I don't know.

00:58:41I don't know.

00:58:42I don't know.

00:58:44Okay.

00:58:45So, that wraps it all up.
