00:04 Because now, we're putting meaning to everything we see.
00:09 Yes, it was just a screenshot.
00:10 Yes, really.
00:11 Maybe also as, you know, being part of Nets Universe Philippines for so long,
00:15 every after our pageant, there's always speculations.
00:18 And many of those are like far from the truth.
00:21 But then, because people repost it, it becomes the truth.
00:25 But me, I'm there, I know the truth, and it's so far.
00:29 So, I also want to give them the benefit of the doubt.
00:31 Because I know how it is to be accused of doing things that are not really true.
00:39 This is just it, Shams. It's so intense.
00:41 You know, I wouldn't imagine a Pulitzer award-winning journalist to actually come up with a post.
00:52 Or Lucera, who was involved in the heart of Ms. Universe, to say, "I don't know who,"
00:59 because she said she didn't know who would be removed from the top five.
01:02 But certainly, Ms. Philippines had a place.
01:05 If it were another one, for example, us, or of course, we're next to Michelle.
01:09 Michelle, of course.
01:11 We're next to Michelle.
01:12 But these people who are being accused, the texture is different.
01:14 Yes.
01:15 Right? Okay.
01:16 Pia also had her say, etc.
01:21 Access.
01:22 Okay.
01:24 Let's talk about what people are asking.
01:26 Pia was asking this.
01:27 The Voice for Change.
01:28 Are you aware of that?
01:29 Yeah.
01:31 Before Michelle flew out to El Salvador, we already were given for us to create a video showcasing the Voice for Change.
01:39 And we were told that it's supposed to be about how will you use your platform to help others.
01:45 So, we submitted videos for that.
01:49 But were you aware of the fact that this is how $1 for three votes is?
01:54 No.
01:55 None for the five votes.
01:56 You're not aware of the fact that they're saying that $12,000 will go to advocacy.
02:01 The rest, it was not clear.
02:03 There was no full disclosure.
02:04 Right.
02:05 None.
02:06 So, people are complaining now, like, where will that go?
02:07 And there are two things, MJ.
02:09 One is the app, in Ms. Universe, the vote.
02:12 Yes.
02:13 Okay.
02:14 The vote.
02:15 Yes.
02:16 And the top there is automatically…
02:17 Will automatically go to the top 20.
02:19 Okay.
02:20 This is what's unclear.
02:21 Because what we know is that Michelle topped that.
02:23 Right.
02:25 Yeah.
02:26 Okay.
02:27 Was Michelle part of the top 20 because she topped the fan vote?
02:30 Or was she part of the top 20 because of merit?
02:35 Because that's not clear.
02:37 It's not announced who topped.
02:38 I'm just speculating because there were years that they called for example 15, there's 16 from the fans.
02:45 I remember that.
02:46 But I'm thinking that since she's already part of the top 20 and she's number one in the fan vote,
02:51 they don't have to call a 21st candidate for that?
02:54 That I would say.
02:56 It's very tricky.
02:57 But that makes sense.
02:58 I understand that.
02:59 It means that she's already part of the top 20 so we don't have to have a 21.
03:02 So, there's no more.
03:03 But for me, my debate is, I hope they add one because one entered on merit.
03:07 Oh, right.
03:08 Or at the least, in announce.
03:09 Yeah.
03:11 Actually, how we do it, usually if she's already in, the second highest fan vote, we give a chance.
03:20 But this time, I don't know how they did it but I feel like she was able to get in the top 20 by merit.
03:26 So, I just want to clarify that in the voice of change, okay, this is what we did but there was no discussion about money?
03:35 No.
03:36 They just wanted the girls to get to know the girls more for who they are and also to bring light to causes that are close to their hearts.
03:45 So, that's the main reason why they did the voice for change.
03:50 And then, of course, they thought it's good to have the people be part of it and they had a voting.
03:57 But there were two voting.
03:58 Yeah, it's separate.
03:59 Voting for the voice for change and voting for the fan vote.
04:03 Okay.
04:04 Thank you.
04:05 Thank you.
04:06 Thank you.
04:08 Thank you.
04:09 Thank you.
