00:04 Okay, I told Shams and MJ, we have 20 minutes to talk about this.
00:10 Why are we talking about this? Why are we so invested?
00:16 Why are we so passionate about it?
00:18 Because we are talking about why Michelle is not in the top 5.
00:25 But, okay, I will list the reasons one by one.
00:32 And I think it will be revealed why she is not in the top 5.
00:35 Of course, what we are saying is, I personally feel that Michelle should be in the top 5.
00:41 Yeah, even for me. Yes.
00:43 We all agree. Yes.
00:45 Okay, let's start with the Miss Universe El Salvador post.
00:51 Remember, there was a top 5 post, it was about Michelle, then Miss Thailand deleted it.
00:58 My question is, what was that?
01:00 Was that an official platform of Miss Universe El Salvador or Miss Universe organization?
01:08 What do you know?
01:10 I really have no idea, but what I know is that it's a page for the Miss Universe in El Salvador.
01:20 The Miss Universe organization.
01:21 Yes. Okay.
01:23 And I also watched Miss Universe.
01:25 What happened here in the Philippines during Maxine's time, Miss Universe is very strict with their space.
01:31 So even if we are the Philippines' host country, we don't know what's happening because it's their show.
01:40 So I don't think El Salvador has the upper hand on what's happening around at the same time.
01:44 So it was a mistake.
01:47 It was a mistake on the part of the Miss Universe El Salvador to have posted that.
01:51 We can only speculate.
01:53 But we saw that. Yes.
01:55 So that's when we were like, what's happening? Something's fishy.
01:58 Why did Thailand delete it?
02:00 So there were aspersions because Miss Universe is owned by Ann, who is Thai, and then Michelle and Miss Thailand are very good friends.
02:10 So there were many rumors.
02:12 I'll go to the next point, people's reaction.
02:16 I talked to RD, our head writer, earlier.
02:17 I said, "I don't want to quote too many people from the country."
02:20 Of course, we're obvious. We're friends with Michelle.
02:22 But let me go to people who are not Filipinos, who were just as passionate as we are about the non-inclusion, the exclusion of Michelle from the top five.
02:34 Ronan Farrow.
02:36 Okay, this is the son of Woody Allen's director and the artist Mia Farrow.
02:40 He is a... what award is this?
02:43 Pulitzer.
02:45 Pulitzer, award-winning journalist who said that he was disappointed, robbed, shaking, crying.
02:53 Lu Shara, I'm sure you've worked with Lu Shara, the both of you.
02:57 This is a long-time trainer of Miss Universe candidates, said that the Philippines was robbed.
03:06 Okay, your comments.
03:10 It's so hard to speculate or what happened.
03:15 Of course, for us, we always feel that our candidates should have been in the top five.
03:21 Always.
03:23 Always, but we don't know how the selection process works.
03:25 And I always say that maybe if we have questions, we should ask the judges themselves.
03:30 What are their criteria for judging?
03:32 Because it was never announced.
03:35 Is it really the top five, like the evening gown part, or is it that by the time of the evening gown, they already have the top five in mind?
03:42 Because we never know.
03:44 Okay, that brings me to this question.
03:46 As national director of Miss Universe Philippines, do you have the right to request for, for example, we want to see the score of the top ten to top five.
03:55 I don't think so.
03:57 No, but they have an accounting firm.
04:00 In your relationship with Miss Universe organization, can you actually request for that?
04:05 That I'm not sure, Tito Boy.
04:07 You're not sure yet?
04:09 I have never asked to see the results.
04:11 I don't know if they ever did allow…
04:14 Isn't that something that we should look into?
04:16 Yeah.
04:18 Because you have a score sheet.
04:20 But they used to show the score, Tito Boy, during the Trump era.
04:22 During the Trump era, yeah.
04:25 So, the students, for example, who have doubts, have the right to say, "Hey, can I see how I performed?"
04:30 But then again, every year, I feel like there's always a question.
04:33 So, I feel like them, as an organization, they're used to people questioning what happened, why this didn't pass.
04:39 I totally understand that.
04:41 Sometimes, they try to protect the judges as well.
04:44 Because if you see the scores of each judge…
04:46 It's like a jambash, right?
04:48 I also understand that point.
04:51 It's a clear point that back then, it was really obvious that he was the 9.8, this judge, etc.
