00:04 Uhm, Ito bay, because this was talked about in the last years, kung gaano kahalagang mga advocacy, the stories, you're right, the stories of the candidates.
00:16 What are you bringing to Miss Universe in the context of advocacy?
00:24 Well Tito boy, my advocacy was the same as before. It's really towards autism inclusivity, awareness and empowerment. I have two siblings on the autism spectrum.
00:33 It's your story? Yes, I have two siblings on the autism spectrum. They're both amazing individuals, but it's really because of their perspective and their life, you know, their life's moments and the things that I've witnessed personally also that made me advocate for this.
00:48 It's not an advocacy that I chose, but it's an advocacy that chose me because of all of that. And it gave me a greater purpose. It showed me, you know, how to really give back to others, to be more empathetic and understanding.
01:00 And that's what all of these individuals deserve. Millions of individuals go through this. Millions of families are affected. Their voices aren't heard. And if nobody champions for them, I believe that should be me.
01:13 You know why your story is important? It's the story of your life. I mean, this is not something that you write. This is not something that you chose. This is the life of your two siblings.
01:22 You're bringing it into a bigger platform. You share the story and that's what it is.
01:26 Yes. I mean, it's not your typical mainstream advocacy. Usually people might tap into poverty or climate change, which are all very, very important.
01:35 But I believe it's about time that we recognize all of these individuals and celebrate them also.
01:41 Right. Okay. Let's go back to the walk. Because that's what people are looking forward to. Let's go back to the walk. As of now, as of today, because it cancels change a bit, I mean, here and there.
01:52 But what is the walk that we're talking about today?
01:55 Again, a more polished, refined walk.
01:58 Okay, Michelle.
02:00 You know, the organization has actually, and my trainers have been posting my walk recently.
02:05 I've seen some of them.
02:08 But now they're kind of dubbing it more like the air walk instead of the snake walk.
02:11 And again, it's because of the fans that do it. So now I just…
02:15 What's different? It's just more polished.
02:20 It's more…
02:22 Same lang.
02:25 Doon sa katsun-tunin pa lamang, kasamahun natin ang Miss Universe 2023.
02:33 Not Philippines, Miss Universe 2023.
02:37 And this is what we're going to do. Para lang, just for fun. Para marilaks tayo.
02:42 Let's do fast talk while you're doing that walk.
02:45 Wait lang. Baka yung answers kong fast.
02:48 Baka maging fast walk na lang instead of fast talk.
02:54 Wait lang. Kinakabahan naman ako.
02:57 You can just go anywhere.
02:59 Dapat sabayan mo ako habang nagpa-fast talk tayo.
03:05 Sige na tito boy. Fast talk.
