00:05 Very nice.
00:07 But, you beautiful ladies, very attractive.
00:10 Is it harder, is it easier to find love?
00:15 Okay, let's go.
00:18 Maybe, Uncle Boy, I'll tell you when I was young.
00:21 I find it easier.
00:23 But then when you grow, your standards,
00:26 your qualities that you find to a guy or to a man,
00:30 it really elevates.
00:32 And then, maybe with our status,
00:35 especially when you're in the Philippines,
00:37 it's hard to find someone who is like,
00:42 who is like,
00:44 -suitable for your status. -And also, you have to admit,
00:46 I don't know, correct me if I'm wrong,
00:48 you can be intimidating.
00:50 -Yes, in a way, Uncle Boy. -There is, right?
00:52 That's why when I was young,
00:55 I used to be attracted.
00:57 Now, I kind of chase.
00:59 [Laughter]
01:01 You know, I was about to ask you that question.
01:03 Do you attract or do you chase?
01:06 I'm taken.
01:08 I attract.
01:09 I don't think a guy that you need to chase
01:11 is not a guy for you.
01:13 If it's someone from God,
01:14 then you won't need to chase that guy.
01:16 She would choose you every single day.
01:18 That's interesting.
01:19 But has it been hard or faster because,
01:21 Reina, you're a beauty queen.
01:23 I find it hard to find.
01:24 I think the hard part is staying together.
01:27 Because the more you get to know each other,
01:30 the more you see things,
01:31 I'm like, can I really live with this person or not?
01:33 So, finding is easy.
01:35 Especially nowadays, there's phone.
01:37 But keeping the relationship together forever,
01:39 -that's the challenge. -That's the challenge.
01:41 Uncle Boy, I'll just correct the chase.
01:43 [Laughter]
01:49 Woman of God,
01:50 -of course, a physical woman. -Okay.
01:53 What I mean about chase is like,
01:56 I'm like,
01:58 this is the...
01:59 This is just...
02:00 For me, I did the first move to say hi
02:04 in a very casual way.
02:06 -But... -Okay.
02:07 Because they get intimidated.
02:09 But it stops there.
02:10 But it stops there.
02:11 You do the follow-up and all.
02:13 But I would just say,
02:15 like I have this scenario,
02:17 and I ask my friend to say hi to this guy.
02:21 And then after that stop,
02:23 it's up to you to chase, to attract me.
02:25 I don't understand.
02:26 [Laughter]
02:28 It's defensive.
02:29 [Laughter]
02:31 Maybe later, I won't be attracted to him anymore.
02:34 You know, chase.
02:36 No, I have a different take.
02:38 I believe that women,
02:40 that women can chase.
02:43 I really believe that
02:45 women have the right and power,
02:48 women of God,
02:50 you know, to go for who she likes.
02:54 But that's an opinion.
02:55 Anyway, okay.
02:56 Miss Universe is different now.
02:58 It's open,
02:59 there are no height requirements, age requirements.
03:02 Transgender women are allowed into the contest.
03:06 Your take.
03:07 I support 100% whatever the Miss Universe organization decides.
03:12 For transgenders, I'm totally okay with it.
03:15 I'm going to be honest with age limit.
03:17 When I first heard it, I was a little bit like,
03:19 "Really? No age limit? Would it be fair?"
03:22 I'm more thinking of the fairness for the girls.
03:24 Okay.
03:25 Because it feels different,
03:26 especially I've been in the modeling world as well.
03:28 It feels different when you're older than the rest.
03:31 Or when you're younger than the rest.
03:32 So for me, I was like,
03:34 I hope there will be some standards in terms of the age.
03:38 But I support either way.
03:39 Yeah, alright.
03:40 And you?
03:41 My take, Uncle Boy,
03:42 it's like we're just living our lives now.
03:45 Everything going to technology and all that we have to adapt.
03:49 So one point or another,
03:51 I know the organization wants to be more inclusive.
03:54 So I can see that Miss Universe is going in that direction.
03:59 But same as Janine,
04:00 I said, with the age limit,
04:03 I don't mind if the age limit is until 40 or 50 years old for a contestant.
04:08 But if there's no age limit?
04:09 As long as there's still a limit.
04:11 I'm just sharing my story.
04:12 Because during our time,
04:13 if there's no age limit, Uncle Boy,
04:15 I wouldn't push myself to join the pageant.
04:19 Because I would think,
04:20 that's my last year to join.
04:21 So I was forced in a way to really reach that goal of mine.
04:25 I hear you.
04:26 What about moms?
04:27 Mothers?
04:28 I'm okay with that.
04:30 Especially the last Miss Colombian.
04:33 She's really pretty and fit.
04:36 You're also a mom.
04:37 That's not a problem to you?
04:38 That's not a problem to me.
04:39 But at the end of the day, Uncle Boy,
04:41 I miss our traditional time.
04:43 Our era, Janine and I,
04:46 we really didn't have that.
04:47 But I know that it's inevitable.
04:50 And that we have to follow through.
04:51 We have to support.
04:52 At the end of the day,
04:53 you just have to work hard.
