01:19 And also tell us a little bit about your advocacy.
01:23 Good morning, everyone.
01:24 My name is Sam Samara, and I'm an earth warrior
01:28 representing Makati City.
01:30 My advocacy is about flooding reduction,
01:37 the damage of flooding, yes, by climate activism
01:42 and environmental awareness.
01:44 Thanks, Ms. Makati.
01:45 Thank you.
01:46 Hello, everyone.
01:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:50 I am Kathleen Santiago, representing Pasig City.
01:54 And my advocacy is about environmental and culture
01:57 preservation because I am an avid explorer.
02:01 I've been into different valleys of the Zonbisayas
02:04 and hopefully explore Mindanao soon.
02:09 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:10 So I'm Ira Patricia Malaluan.
02:13 I am 25 years old.
02:14 I am from the home of the brave, the green industrial city
02:18 of Batangas.
02:19 So my advocacy is Luntiang Pula.
02:21 And the concept of my advocacy is 3F, so farming with nature,
02:25 farm for the future, and farming for the next generation.
02:28 The concept of this is we address the food insecurity
02:31 that we are currently facing in our country
02:33 on how we can harmonize agriculture, tourism,
02:36 and environment, everything.
02:38 Thank you.
02:41 Good morning, everyone.
02:42 My name is Samantha Dana Bogoas, your representative
02:45 from Oriental Mindoro.
02:47 And growing up in the coastal communities of Oriental Mindoro,
02:51 I am an advocate for raising and promoting
02:54 marine life preservation.
02:56 Thank you.
02:57 And Zamboanga City.
02:59 Good morning.
03:00 We're in Chavacano, back in our city of Zamboanga.
03:03 It is Buenos Dias.
03:05 I am Ansha Lishel Jones.
03:07 And my advocacy is Be Green Life.
03:10 It is sorting for a sustainable future for the Philippines
03:13 or for the whole entire planet.
03:15 And also, it is advocating for waste management segregation.
03:19 Wow.
03:20 Thank you very much.
03:21 Women empowerment.
03:22 And what's really beautiful about Miss Philippines Earth
03:24 is that they have advocacy.
03:26 Advocacy.
03:27 All right.
03:28 But let's get to know them.
03:29 Yes.
03:30 Ansha, you're an entrepreneur.
03:33 How do you handle and manage your time?
03:36 You're an entrepreneur and also joining a beauty pageant like this.
03:39 Well, right now, I've been taking my course as Bachelor of Science
03:43 in Business Administration, major in entrepreneurship.
03:47 And balancing my work and also as an entrepreneur
03:52 and also as an environmental ambassadress is prioritizing the time.
03:58 It is by time management and also by self-care as well
04:01 because I have to ensure that I would fulfill my duties
04:06 as the Miss Earth Zamboanga.
04:08 And at the same time, my responsibilities as an entrepreneur and owner.
04:12 All right.
04:13 Let's go with Sam.
04:14 You have a Bachelor's Degree in Architecture and you're now getting a Master's Degree in Urban Planning.
04:23 So, how do you make sure that you're handling your time well in these two fields?
04:28 And how would you relate to being one of the candidates of Miss Philippines Earth Air 2024?
04:34 That's a very nice question.
04:36 Thank you.
04:37 So, basically, I'm still currently taking my Master's in Urban Planning, of course.
04:44 And it all goes down to a well-planned timetable.
04:49 And as my co-candidate said, you need to be in a healthy mindset and a healthy body as well.
04:56 And study your options.
04:59 So, basically, I do my Master's Degree online.
05:02 So, it saves me a lot of time and be present also during the events.
05:07 And what she's studying right now is related to your advocacy, right?
05:11 Yes, it is related to my advocacy.
05:13 So, my advocacy, basically, it's about reducing the damage of flooding.
05:18 And with that being said, we need to work hand in hand with the engineers and the architects
05:25 and the urban planners to better our structures and enhance our structure in the city.
05:36 That's very technical.
05:37 She has a specific field for taking care of the environment, for planning.
05:41 Well, that's good to know.
05:42 Thank you.
05:43 Well, let's go to Kathleen.
05:45 You're with the LEAF Program.
05:49 Can you tell us more about this?
05:51 So, LEAF Program stands for LEAF, Engage, and Act for our Future.
05:55 So, aside from environmental sustainability, I really want to empower people, specifically the youth,
06:02 to be engaged in different forms of art such as painting, dancing, singing, through exhibits.
06:11 Like, we commemorate our ancestors and local artists to different forms of art.
06:17 That's why I really want to push through this program since we really need to uplift our culture alive.
06:24 Alright.
06:25 And let's go with Ida.
06:26 You are very active.
06:28 You're a podcast host, former eSports caster, and content creator.
06:33 So, how do you balance leisure and other activities?
06:38 I think through time and mind management because I'm a very passionate person
06:43 and I always learn things through experiencing it.
06:47 And I think it is also important that I think all of us also want to be active.
06:52 But I always make sure that whenever I want to be active and I want to do everything,
06:57 that thing would also help me grow as a person.
07:00 And I want to continue that mindset as I kick off my journey here in Miss Philippines.
07:04 Good luck, girl!
07:05 Thank you.
07:06 I'm the one who's watching, Denise.
07:07 Oh, no!
07:08 [Laughter]
07:09 Oh, you're so cute.
07:11 Alright, let's go to Samantha.
07:13 This is not your first major pageant.
07:15 You were also a finalist in a major pageant before.
07:18 So, how did you prepare for this time, Miss Philippines Earth?
07:22 Wow, thank you so much for your question.
07:25 Well, joining last year's Binibining Pilipinas, I gained so many invaluable experiences and learnings.
07:35 And I'm so glad that I learned so many ins and outs of pageantry because that was my first national pageant.
07:42 And now I'm glad I'm able to bring it to Miss Philippines Earth 2024.
07:46 And the most important thing is to--
07:49 One of the most important things I learned during Binibining is to make lifelong friendships
07:53 because I am still friends with so many of the candidates from last year.
07:58 And these people will be there for you even in the long run.
08:03 So, thank you.
08:05 Good luck, ladies!
08:06 When is the coronation?
08:08 May 11.
08:11 It's really on the hill.
08:12 Oh, on the hill.
08:14 Last time, it was in Paranaque.
08:17 So, please, what are the social media accounts that people can visit to be updated on Miss Philippines Earth's activities?
