00:00 Mga mari at pare, what if maging lumpia kayo for a day?
00:03 Anong klaseng lumpia ka kaya?
00:05 Ako, ano, sexy lumpia.
00:07 Kasi diba, para may corte yung lumpia.
00:09 Okay.
00:11 Nakilala sa Level Up at Not Your Typical Lumpia recipes
00:14 ang ating live na makakakwentuhan ngayong umaga.
00:18 Ang binansagang lumpia queen at People's Voice winner
00:21 sa General Social Food and Drink category ng 28 Uwebi Awards,
00:26 Abigail Marquez.
00:28 Magandang umaga at welcome.
00:29 Sa Balitang Hali, Abby.
00:31 Good morning po.
00:33 Thank you for having me.
00:35 Abby, anong pakiramdam at reaction mo
00:37 nang malaman mo na isa ka sa winners
00:39 ng 28 Uwebi Awards?
00:41 Sobrang saya po.
00:43 Nakakaiyak sa saya.
00:45 Kasi matagal ko na siyang pangarap e.
00:47 And ito na yung parang
00:49 kung magkakapangarap yung mga creators
00:53 or yung mga talents in the digital space.
00:55 Ito na po yun. Parang,
00:57 kumbaga, ito yung Oscars
00:59 ng mga creators.
01:01 And, first, hindi lang po kasi siya
01:03 recognition of
01:05 the hard work that I put in my videos.
01:07 Pero, dito ko po
01:09 na-realize na
01:11 yung Filipino food
01:13 may laban pala siya
01:15 internationally.
01:17 And, nagkakaroon tayo ng
01:19 representasyon sa mga international
01:21 platforms na ganito.
01:23 Kaya, I think, right now,
01:25 this is just the start and we have
01:27 so many spaces, but to fill it
01:29 in the digital space,
01:31 napaka ganda po nito
01:33 recognition.
01:35 Tama, no? Kasi napaka prestigious
01:37 at first Filipino recipient ka.
01:39 Diba? Ito award na ito.
01:41 Pero, ano sa tingin mo yung naging edge
01:43 ng iyong mga content at lumpia
01:45 queen branding mo?
01:47 Okay.
01:49 First po is the quality,
01:51 actually, of my videos.
01:53 Yung quality niya, yung clarity,
01:55 and also yung accessibility.
01:57 So, simula po
01:59 sa pagpili pa lang ng recipes
02:01 na gagawan ko ng video,
02:03 up to the writing,
02:05 kung pano ko siya i-explain
02:07 within just one minute, at para
02:09 maintindihan ng nanonood
02:11 yung recipe, the culture
02:13 behind it. Talaga po,
02:15 I really work hard to
02:17 deliver that. And also,
02:19 yung disiplina po to stay
02:21 on brand because now,
02:23 I have a lot of food content creators
02:25 with different approaches to their videos.
02:27 But, for a strong
02:29 brand, I have to stick to what
02:31 I do, which is accessible
02:33 recipes. Do naman po
02:35 sa lumpia, well,
02:37 ang tulong po niya is, well,
02:39 nagkaroon ang recall yung mga tao. Marami
02:41 na pong pangasar ang naipon sa akin,
02:43 na internet. But,
02:45 more importantly,
02:47 naging opportunity
02:49 po siya para magstand out
02:51 in the space, and also
02:53 experiment with the lumpia because
02:55 when someone calls you the lumpia
02:57 queen, I feel like
02:59 it's my opportunity
03:01 to try different takes on
03:03 it, diba? Oo, tama ka kasi
03:05 fina-follow kita, no? Napaka-dali
03:07 yung sundan ang iyong mga content. Pero ngayong
03:09 internationally recognized ka na,
03:11 ano pang mga pagkaing Pinoy
03:13 ang bet mo pang i-explore at gawing content?
03:15 Bukod sa lumpia, syempre. Pero,
03:17 andami na rin, diba? Yes,
03:19 super andami na. So,
03:21 siguro po ngayon, my focus
03:23 would be to the lesser
03:25 known Filipino food. So,
03:27 usually po, diba, sinigang, adobo,
03:29 masasarap na mga yan. But, I
03:31 feel like marami pang masarap
03:33 na pagkaing Pinoy.
03:35 So, recently po, I featured
03:37 ginisang munggo, which
03:39 also went viral.
03:41 Tortang talong, one of my most
03:43 viral videos ever, na
03:45 after posting a tortang
03:47 recipe, very humble, right?
03:49 People from international
03:51 audiences,
03:53 nakikita ko ginagawa na nila
03:55 Japanese,
03:57 people from Africa, they're trying
03:59 Arcanto-style fried chicken,
04:01 and recently also Menudo,
04:03 creating twists to this
04:05 masasarap na Filipino
04:07 food. So,
04:09 I'm really looking forward
04:11 to see ano po yung papatok
04:13 internationally na mga, parang,
04:15 parang, parang sa ngayon,
04:17 hidden gem pa na
04:19 Filipino food. Oo,
04:21 and ito, mainit-init pa ha, sing-init
04:23 ng panahon, may fresh na-fresh na
04:25 international nomination ka na
04:27 natanggap ang JBEAR 2024
04:29 Media Awards. Anong reaction mo
04:31 riyan? Yes, yes.
04:33 So,
04:35 ito po talaga yung
04:37 umiyak po talaga, on the spot,
04:39 kasi, for the longest time,
04:41 I grew up watching
04:43 cooking shows, right? And
04:45 yung mga cooking game shows na ito,
04:47 yung mga judges nila, talagang nakadikit
04:49 sa pangalan nila. "James Beard
04:51 nominee, this,
04:53 James Beard winner, this." So,
04:55 parang, matagal na matagal ko
04:57 na talaga siyang pangarap. And for me,
04:59 napakalayo niya eh.
05:01 Siguro, if you asked me three
05:03 years ago, napakalayo niya. Hindi ko akalain
05:05 na, ma,
05:07 hukuha mo siya, yung
05:09 nominations pa lang guys, ah.
05:11 Grabe na kasi for me na,
05:13 that's still a big
05:15 honor, you know? So,
05:17 nakakagulat siya, pero,
05:19 again, nakakaproud,
05:21 sobrang happy, and
05:23 again, it's a,
05:25 it's an opportunity for
05:27 us to show the Filipino talent
05:29 in this level of a platform.
05:31 Global na, no?
05:33 Pinoy pride. Maraming salamat!
05:35 And congratulations sa 'yo,
05:37 Lumpia Queen, Abby Marquez.
05:39 Thank you po.
