00:00Legend fans are naturally hoping for a back-to-back win.
00:03How do you carry that expectation while also focusing on your own journey?
00:08Well, first and foremost, I want to say huge congratulations, Etikat.
00:13You've made everyone so proud, and the whole country is so, so happy and so proud of you.
00:19So, the back-to-back win.
00:23Well, aside from the pressure, no?
00:26Obviously, seeing all of the comments as well online.
00:30And everyone has high hopes naman, which that's also something I'm hoping for, a back-to-back for the Philippines.
00:38But actually, a really good friend of mine advised me,
00:43Sabi niya, put the pressure aside and still focus on your own journey and enjoy your journey the way you're
00:53supposed to.
00:55Tanggalin ko daw sa isip ko yung back-to-back mindset so that this way, I can give way to
01:00my own journey.
01:01And focus on myself, focus my fight for the Philippines.
01:06And yun, sinapuso ko talaga yun.
01:08Wow.
01:09Is there, like, a strategy or, like, a mindset that queens have, like, when you prepare for the pageant?
01:17Um, well, ever since I started doing pageantry, um, it's, it, I, I learned that it was, it's very important
01:26na holistic approach lagi ang, ang strategy for training, let's say, passerella, Q&A, um, even styling.
01:35Now we also have to train for makeup, hair and makeup, because we won't be able to bring our glam
01:40teams.
01:41So, that's something that we have to work on as well, right, girls?
01:47Okay, does that go for everyone?
01:49Do you not, like, bring your glam teams with you?
01:52Yes.
01:52Wow.
01:53One of the most intensive trainings I've been going through is working with my makeup artists, Mama, um, Mickey and
02:00Jaja.
02:01Yeah.
02:01And then my hairstylist, Jonas, to make sure that I can do everything on my own.
02:06And I need to lessen the time, because it takes me three to four hours to do it on my
02:12own, but it takes them only an hour.
02:14Yeah, well, yeah, it is so difficult, but I know that with enough determination, we'll all be able to do
02:21it.
02:22This is how, you know, beauty queens are super women.
