00:00Yes, I'm currently the second nominee for Agiman Party List.

00:04So I'm very excited about that.

00:05You know, for the past few months, I've been working to really connect with my community.

00:09And we are trialing in two weeks' time.

00:12Is this something that you really planned beforehand?

00:16Or has it been part of your goals?

00:20You know, like pageantry.

00:21I never planned to join pageantry, to be honest.

00:24But because I found out that my Tita Myrna was the first ever Miss Universe Philippines,

00:28Myrna Pandilio, who represented the Philippines in 1964,

00:32you know, legacy to me is very important.

00:34Hence why I joined pageantry.

00:36And from pageantry, I found my passion in giving back to the community

00:39beyond my efforts in my business world.

00:43And so I think that this is very...

00:46It's just always been a calling for me, I guess.

00:49Because I know that I can get to a platform where I can help more people as well.

00:53And so who am I to pass that up, right?

00:55If you can help more people.

00:57And so what I'm bringing to the table, hopefully, is going to be more on women empowerment,

01:01the LGBTQI+, community, of course, coming from pageantry.

01:06You know, a lot of the people I surround myself with are within that community.

01:10So that's something that I want to help.

01:12But before I do that, in the upcoming months, I'll be traveling around the Philippines

01:18to have focus group discussions from different sectors, marginalized sectors,

01:24and really ask what their problems are.

01:26Because hearing what the people need will give me some sort of direction

01:31on what laws I can pass should I have a seat in Congress.
