00:02 - You're now a global superstar, Michelle.
00:07 I mean, I can't imagine anybody not talking about
00:10 Miss Universe,
00:11 (speaking in foreign language)
00:15 - Yes, yes, unfortunately.
00:16 - You know, the director of Miss Nicaragua
00:17 (speaking in foreign language)
00:18 but that's for another story.
00:20 And she's a nice girl.
00:20 I don't think a lot of people, I'll be very honest,
00:23 not a lot of people are complaining that you won.
00:25 - Yes, yes.
00:26 - The beef here is that
00:27 (speaking in foreign language)
00:30 Let's talk about Miss Thailand.
00:31 I saw that vlog.
00:33 And there was an interesting question you asked each other.
00:36 If you would want to spend a year in space or underwater.
00:40 And your answer was?
00:42 - My answer was underwater, I believe, in space.
00:45 I don't remember now.
00:47 - You don't.
00:47 Are you that close?
00:48 Are you very good friends?
00:49 - Wait, wait, wait.
00:50 What was this?
00:51 - Underwater or in space?
00:52 I think you said--
00:54 - Was I, did I say space?
00:56 (speaking in foreign language)
00:59 - One of you said that it's nice to look at the earth
01:02 from space.
01:03 And then somebody said,
01:04 "Naman, there are a lot of things to discover underwater."
01:07 - I think she said space.
01:09 And then, yeah, okay, I remember we were live once.
01:12 And then she said space and then I said underwater.
01:15 And then I believe one of her phobias is
01:18 she doesn't like not knowing what's underneath.
01:21 - Okay.
01:21 (speaking in foreign language)
01:25 - How close are you to Miss Thailand?
01:27 - Actually, when we started talking,
01:28 we actually kicked off a really good friendship.
01:30 One of the best things in pageantry is meeting,
01:33 you know, amazing girls.
01:34 Amazing girls with like-minded passions.
01:36 And it just so happens that when me and Thailand,
01:39 I mean, Antonia, actually got to get to know each other,
01:42 we have a lot of things in common.
01:43 We have the same energy.
01:45 - Sense of humor.
01:46 - We have the same sense of humor.
01:47 We're both very sarcastic and we both have very dark humor.
01:50 - Sarconic, right.
01:52 - No, naman, no, naman.
01:53 - But there is a nice, right kind of humor.
01:56 You even call each other mommy and daddy.
01:59 - Well, the fans dubbed us that.
02:00 - Ah, the fans.
02:01 - Yeah, the fans dubbed us that
02:02 and then we kind of just picked off on it.
02:04 - Let's leave that.
02:05 Let's talk about the special awards.
02:07 Voice for Change Award, the Spirit of Carnival Award.
02:10 We heard that statement of how proud Carnival,
02:14 your sponsor, is, was about you.
02:17 The fan vote, the Best National Costume Award.
02:20 (speaking in foreign language)
02:22 (speaking in foreign language)
02:26 - That I can't answer.
02:35 I mean, I really won't be able to.
02:36 - You will not be able to answer that.
02:36 But this one I wanna ask.
02:38 (speaking in foreign language)
02:42 - I know it's usually announced on Coronation Night.
02:49 That's when they highlight all of the special awards.
02:52 I actually expected the winners of the Voice for Change
02:55 might have a moment on stage as well.
02:57 The special awards, all of that.
03:00 I don't know if it was a time constraint.
03:02 I love it.
03:04 This was my concept brought to life by Michael Barassi.
03:06 I love it so much.
03:07 - I loved it.
03:08 But of course, again, it provoked a conversation.
03:11 - I know, I mean, first and foremost,
03:13 I'm just so happy for Michael Barassi,
03:14 the third Best National Costume for the Philippines.
03:17 Congratulations to you.
03:18 But at the same time, I don't know why it was announced
03:22 days after, maybe 'cause there was voting involved.
03:24 Maybe they were still tabulating things, scoring.
03:27 I actually don't know how the scoring was
03:29 for National Costume.
03:30 I'm just happy to be the winner of it.
03:32 - Here are other questions.
03:33 You were quoted to have said,
03:34 (speaking in foreign language)
03:36 which of course, in reference to
03:38 (speaking in foreign language)
03:42 And this was a fast talk, exclusive.
03:44 (speaking in foreign language)
03:48 The question that was asked,
03:50 (speaking in foreign language)
03:53 Round, so top three.
