00:00Hi Pepsers, welcome to GMA Gala 2024 and tonight we are with the very beautiful

00:07Hello, how are you?

00:09Do you know how to speak Filipino now?

00:12I'm learning, I only know a little bit of Tagalog, but I want to learn.

00:18That's great!

00:19I've been following your Instagram and I see you like wandering around

00:25different places here in Manila, even including Divisoria.

00:29Divisoria, Pateros, Balut, I don't know, I don't know.

00:36Also, I went to Siargao and Bohol.

00:41What else?

00:43So, Tangkudarat.

00:45So, I've been exploring a lot.

00:47I just love the Philippines.

00:48Everything is so exciting for me and I'm just very curious.

00:51So, you have no qualms like going to even the places that are super hot.

00:56We have warm weather now, right?

00:59Yeah.

01:00It's so hot, but I grew up in Texas, so it's very hot also.

01:05So, I'm used to it actually.

01:07How about the crowded places?

01:10It's hot, but I still like it.

01:12Divisoria is fun because I'm a designer and so I love to be able to make thawar and buy fabrics.

01:19To me, it's like you can't really do that where I'm from in the States.

01:22You just go to the store and pay.

01:24So, Divisoria is very fun for me.

01:26And I love that you really make customized clothes for whatever, like even your content on Instagram.

01:34Yes, thank you for watching.

01:36Yes, I'm actually working on a collection.

01:38So, I have a fashion show at the end of August.

01:41I've gone to the Ukay-Ukay and I'm upcycling a lot of pieces.

01:45So, very excited for that.

01:47You're so creative.

01:48Thank you.

01:50So, what made you decide to stay here?

01:53Are you staying here for a long?

01:55Are you considering pursuing a show this career?

01:59Yes, I have actually always dreamed of living in the Philippines even before I did the whole Miss Universe thing.

02:06I wanted to move to the Philippines.

02:08I was planning it and the pandemic happened.

02:10So, the plans got canceled.

02:12I took a different route.

02:13But I'm here now and I'm really loving it.

02:15I'm working doing hosting, modeling jobs, endorsements.

02:18I'm very, very thankful for the opportunities here.

02:20And I'm going to be here for a long time.

02:22I basically am living here now.

02:24Do you think you can try out acting?

02:27I think so.

02:28But I think I need to learn more Tagalog first.

02:32Okay.

02:33So, anything that you've bought for yourself recently that you really like?

02:38Recently, I went to Pina Sadya.

02:41That's a local designer here that incorporates a lot of weaving.

02:45So, the clothing was really beautiful and it was carrying on the traditional textiles.

02:50I've been buying…

02:54I'm trying in Tagalog.

02:55I've been buying a lot of fabric as well.

02:58I love that you always incorporate tradition or the culture in what you're doing.

03:04Yes.

03:05I mean, it's just my passion.

03:07And I'm learning so much more now that I'm living here.

03:09So, I'm really enjoying that.

03:12Thank you so much.

03:13And nice to see you in person.

03:14Nice to finally meet you.

03:19Thank you.
