00:00 A beauty queen from Palawan is looking to make the country proud on the pageant stage.
00:05 How is she preparing for this year's Miss Global?
00:08 And let's find out also more about her advocacies.
00:12 Joining us now is Pearl Hung, who is a transformational coach.
00:16 She's also an entrepreneur, a publisher, and author.
00:21 And she joins us now on The Final Word.
00:23 Pearl, thank you so much.
00:24 Wow, you wear so many hats.
00:26 But first of all, I want to find out from you, how are you preparing for Miss Global,
00:30 which will be held in two countries.
00:32 Yes.
00:32 Vietnam and Cambodia.
00:34 And Cambodia.
00:35 Yes, Vietnam will be preliminaries and Cambodia will be coronation night.
00:39 And so I'm preparing so much for this pageant.
00:42 It has been months that I'm preparing for this.
00:46 But most importantly, I'm preparing and have prepared for a lot of years with my mental toughness.
00:55 Yes.
00:56 And the spirituality, why I joined the competition.
01:01 And of course, key here when you join these competitions is your advocacies.
01:07 Yes.
01:07 And how you are as well learning and building up for the question and answer sessions.
01:14 That's what everyone is always looking forward to.
01:16 Yes, that's the time where people get to know more about you during the question and answers.
01:22 And what are your key advocacies?
01:24 Okay, mine is about empowerment.
01:28 I've been through a lot of charitable works, advocacies.
01:33 I was doing that since I was a teenager.
01:35 Like, like Oplandines because I'm from Palawan and it's really...
01:41 One of the most beautiful islands.
01:43 Yes.
01:43 Not only in the Philippines but in the world.
01:45 In the world, yes.
01:46 And I've been through a lot of advocacies, a lot of charities.
01:50 And then I just realized one day that if you have changed the mindset of a person,
01:56 you will change not only that person's life but that person's generation.
02:01 And for me, that's what is the most important.
02:06 So you'll be championing self-healing and women empowerment.
02:12 Yes, definitely.
02:13 And of course, you've gone through a lot in your life.
02:16 Your parents passed on when you were three years old.
02:19 You were taken care of by your eldest sister and your older brothers.
02:25 How has that journey been to become who you are today,
02:30 representing the Philippines in the Miss Global Pageant in Vietnam and Cambodia?
02:35 Wow.
02:36 Having that kind of life before, I was thinking that, oh, I was so unfortunate.
02:41 But I was thinking that as a kid, you have that kind of mindset of that.
02:45 And securities about life until I've come to flip it
02:50 and transform my mind from a negative perspective to a reason.
02:55 A purpose.
02:56 A purpose that I see that as a gift for me to be strong
03:02 and to have this kind of motivation in my life.
03:05 It's given me something to fulfill in my life.
03:11 And what kind of inspiration did your older siblings help you with
03:17 through this transformation from being a kid, a teenager, and now an adult?
03:25 They're that siblings who will tell you, OK, do what you want.
03:29 It's up to you.
03:31 And the moment that you own your life, own your decisions,
03:34 that you grow from your own because you have nobody to blame at the end of the day.
03:40 And I really appreciate that kind of nurturing with me.
03:47 And your experience of women empowerment and self-healing as you grew up is now in two books, right?
03:57 Yes.
03:58 The Breakthrough Book and Pearl Notes.
04:01 And tell us more about the Breakthrough Book.
04:04 The Breakthrough Book.
04:05 What is the essence of it?
04:06 Yes. It was actually the life principles that I've realized during the journey of from the rocks,
04:14 from the bottom up to where I am now, though there's still a long way to go.
04:19 And the realizations that I've had getting that success, the perseverance, the grit,
04:26 the understanding why life is knocking you down and why you need to rise up once again.
04:33 Grit is really very important.
04:35 Yes.
04:36 And perseverance.
04:37 Yes.
04:38 Because when you're already down in the trenches, you're in the gutter, where else is the way but to go up?
04:44 Yes.
04:45 And it is really just yourself who can lift yourself up.
04:49 Others can guide you, but you have to really help yourself.
04:52 Yes. And I really advocate inspiration to go viral.
04:56 That's why I do content.
04:58 And I want to leverage books for me to be able to transform people's minds.
05:06 Because not all the people watch this video.
05:08 Some of them want to read books.
05:10 So I published this book.
05:12 Well, that's good, right?
05:13 You have to go really multi-platform.
05:16 Yes.
05:17 I'm guessing here on the final word, you have your own videos to inspire people and books.
05:23 Because a lot of our Kababayans right now, especially the youth, do not read anymore.
05:28 Yes.
05:29 But we still have to read.
05:32 And apart from the breakthrough book, what is the essence and the purpose of the Pearl Notes?
05:37 The Pearl Notes, I call it #PearlNotesMagicalInsightsOfAwareness.
05:41 Why does it have hashtag?
05:43 Because since 2016, I've been posting quotes or realizations for a day that it has gained followers.
05:52 It has gained people's mind to be okay.
06:01 Because there's a lot of them who are suicidal.
06:04 They even chat me that, "Pearl, thank you so much because of you."
06:09 In your book.
06:10 It didn't commit suicide because of that hashtag, #PearlNotes.
06:13 And so then I come to realize--
06:15 Everyone can relate, especially the millennials and the Gen Zs because of the hashtag.
06:19 The hashtag is used now in social media across the board.
06:24 So if you search the hashtag #PearlNotes, since 2016, I have been publishing content, quotes,
06:30 because I know that somehow it will give light to a person's life.
06:36 And so I have compiled all the best Pearl Notes quotable quotes originally by me.
06:42 It's 143 quotes.
06:44 So it's like 140, "I love you."
06:46 Something like that.
06:47 And it's my message to the world.
06:49 And it's really transformational.
06:53 What is your message right now to our viewers who are going through challenging times in their lives?
07:00 Life happens not for you, but it happens to you.
07:05 You need that for you to grow.
07:06 And life without growth is--you're not living at all.
07:10 And so the repetitive challenges that's happening in your life needs assessment.
07:17 And so you need to tweak your mind, set another perspective, have another energy for you to go on in your life.
07:24 And always remember, the great personalities endured many scars.
07:29 Wow. Fantastic.
07:31 I believe this is what will make Miss Pearl Hung Miss Global in Cambodia.
07:39 But you are also an entrepreneur.
07:42 How do you divide your time being a beauty queen, being a publisher and author,
07:48 being a transformational and motivational coach, and an entrepreneur of your own direct-selling business?
07:54 There's a lot of paths.
07:55 Yeah, a lot of paths.
07:57 But I'm sure it's all about balance.
07:59 Yes, and I have set everything one by one.
08:06 It looks like I have a lot of hats.
08:08 I'm doing a lot of things, but I make sure that before I go into another thing that I need to do in my life,
08:16 I have already built what needs to be built in my business.
08:21 Like, for example, I have already duplicated a lot of people, a lot of leaders,
08:25 who think the way I think, who does the way I do.
08:28 And so that's why right now when I was asked to represent Philippines at Miss Global 2023,
08:36 I said yes, so why not, because my business is already running.
08:40 Congratulations.
08:41 Thank you so much.
08:42 For being a successful entrepreneur.
08:43 What is your mindset, Pearl, as we enter the new year, 2024, the year of the dragon?
08:51 Wow.
08:52 It's really...
08:53 It's the year of the dragon, huh?
08:54 Yes, it's the year of the dragon.
08:56 It looks like it will be a very successful year across the board.
09:02 Yes.
09:03 For the year of the dragon, you need to start today, not the new year,
09:09 because many people just rely on the New Year's resolution for them to change something
09:15 or to decide that they want to go on into the next level of their lives.
09:19 So why not we do New Year's resolution or make a resolution every day in your life?
09:24 And so that you have daily chances to grow, then of the yearly chances to grow.
09:30 But definitely year of the dragon, this will be so abundant, so prosperous to everyone.
09:35 So brace yourselves to have a lot of growth learning and abundance in your life.
09:41 And celebrate life each day.
09:43 Yes.
09:44 Right?
09:45 Let's not make plans for the whole year, but we have to celebrate life one step at a time.
09:50 That's true.
09:51 And we wish the best to you in Vietnam and Cambodia.
09:54 Thank you.
09:55 We're really very proud of you.
09:56 And we will be rooting for Pearl Hung, Miss Global Philippines,
10:00 when she leaves for Vietnam on December 28th.
10:03 Yes. Thank you so much, Sir.
10:05 Pearl Hung, Miss Global Philippines, transformational coach, publisher, author, and entrepreneur.
10:11 Yes.
