00:00 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:02 Good morning, and welcome back to Rise and Shine Filipinas.
00:25 Ed, hi.
00:26 Hi, Red.
00:26 Thank you.
00:28 I'm glad to be back.
00:29 Congratulations, sir, on winning Mr. Worldwide International.
00:33 And you will represent the Philippines
00:35 in an upcoming international competition.
00:37 So tell us about your preparations for that.
00:40 Well, first of all, I'm obviously
00:43 preparing my physical shape by maintaining a diet
00:46 and following my workout program.
00:48 But other than that, I also have to prepare myself mentally,
00:51 because I have to be positive with myself that I can do it.
00:55 Because this is also the inaugural year of Mr. Worldwide
00:59 International.
01:00 And I want to set a high standard for the Philippines
01:03 that Filipinos are forced to be reckoned with if pageantry
01:06 falls.
01:07 All right, you've mentioned about being positive.
01:09 So how do you make sure that your platforms will
01:12 bring positive impact to the Filipino people?
01:15 And worldwide, in case, of course,
01:17 you're going to win this competition?
01:19 Well, I want to inspire people with my advocacy, which
01:22 is unity in diversity.
01:24 OK.
01:25 Which, as someone who is half Filipino and half Palestinian,
01:29 I can see that not all nations are united as one.
01:33 And I want to show that to the world,
01:35 that everybody should be united as one,
01:36 and inspire them with my actions,
01:38 and lead with example.
01:40 Very nice advocacy.
01:42 Now, what are the challenges that you
01:43 are experiencing during your preparation
01:46 for the international competition?
01:49 The biggest challenge I'm facing currently
01:51 is because I'm a student.
01:53 So I'm also balancing my studies while also competing.
01:56 So I have to travel a lot.
01:59 I lack a lot of sleep.
02:00 But I make up for it with my studies,
02:03 and obviously with the pageant, my preparations, and such.
02:06 And also other than that, it's also balancing my social life.
02:10 But with the support of my family and friends,
02:12 I know I can make it.
02:13 Because they always help me with whatever I need.
02:15 Nice.
02:16 That's good.
02:16 You're in college?
02:17 Yes, ma'am.
02:18 What course?
02:20 Bachelor of Arts in Communication, ma'am.
02:22 OK.
02:24 Future music practitioners as well.
02:26 Hopefully.
02:27 With the international competition approaching,
02:29 so what kind of training are you undertaking
02:31 to ensure that you're really prepared to showcase
02:34 your best on this international competition?
02:37 Well, soon I'm going to start practicing my pasarela walk
02:42 with a professional.
02:44 But for now, I'm just focusing on my martial arts
02:47 to maintain my cardio and my physical shape.
02:49 And also going to the gym to maintain my strength
02:52 and my discipline.
02:54 All right.
02:54 So can you share about the details
02:57 on where the international competition will be?
03:00 And when will it be?
03:01 Oh, well, my international competition
03:03 is going to be held here in Cebu.
03:05 OK.
03:06 And it's going to be in May.
03:07 And if anyone wants to want more updates about it,

03:18 Let's support you.
03:19 Actually, he's half Filipino and half Palestinian.
03:22 Yes, ma'am.
03:23 Oh, I see.
03:24 Well, anyway, of all the competitors,
03:26 who do you think is your competition?
03:29 Well, I can't say one individual because they're
03:32 all such amazing candidates.
03:34 OK.
03:34 Because everybody wants to set a high standard for the country
03:37 since this is the first year of this international pageant.
