00:09 I'm your brother Kim, who will give you a trivia behind the trending news.
00:13 It's no wonder that we Filipinos are so addicted to beauty pageants.
00:17 From the prestigious Miss Universe that you're holding in El Salvador,
00:20 to a local beauty pageant in Antique,
00:23 that made a lot of noise online because of its world-class production.

00:51 Brother Kim, who will you be able to impress first in the Philippines?
00:54 Brother Kim, what's up?
00:56 Before we get addicted to Miss Universe, we have what we call the Manila Carnival Queen.
01:00 And here, it is rumored that she is the first Miss Philippines in our country.
01:04 The Manila Carnival is held by the Philippine American Times to celebrate the Philippine American progress.
01:10 The highlight of this celebration is the coronation of the Carnival Queen.
01:14 Did you know that my grandmother, Encarnita Livioco, is also a Carnival Queen?
01:18 In the first Manila Carnival in 1908, two queens were also crowned.
01:22 The Queen of the Occident, Marjorie Radcliffe Colton from Illinois,
01:26 and the Queen of the Orient, Ilongan, Pura Villanueva.
01:29 The candidates have to amass a number of votes to win.
01:33 She is the first, Reina del Oriente, considered as the first national beauty titlist.
01:39 In 1906, Pura Villanueva organized a suffrage group.
01:43 The Association Feminista Ilongan was the first to bring a suffrage bill to the Philippine Assembly.
01:47 And this happened in 1907.
01:49 In 1910, she was married to a famous writer and legislator, Teodoro Calao.
01:54 And since then, the Philippines' commitment to the pursuit of beauty has continued.
02:00 I think it's our innate love for spectacle.
02:03 That's why the view cons in the barangay will not be left behind.
02:06 Like this Barangay Beauty Pageant in Aluya, Antique,
02:09 the Lin-Ai Kang Semirara 2023 is being discussed online.
02:13 Our goal is to level up the event with a modern approach
02:19 to get to know and see the Semirara Barangay, how beautiful it is.
02:23 Everyone wants to follow the steps of the Filipinos who have been born in the country in the prestigious beauty pageant.
