00:00So I also look forward to being able to bond and to see how much we can accept and how our Filipino community in that country.
00:15In my first run, we didn't really know what to expect.
00:22Because we had all of our rehearsals here and Pagganin was the first department to go out of the country.
00:29It was in Canada.
00:30There were a lot of firsts there.
00:32For me, it was our first time to experience snow because we were in Calgary.
00:37It's our first time also performing in Canada.
00:41It was also our first time to actually see a global Filipino community in another country.
00:49It was a humbling experience overall.
00:54We were able to meet with them, we were able to chat with them.
00:57How they welcomed us and how they took care of us.
01:01Regardless of whether we had our producers by our side, our sponsors with us.
01:06The way global boys treat us is different.
01:08And I know my fellow Filipinos.
01:10It's great to know that we were able to fulfill our mission of bringing the Philippines to them.
01:16And we were able to feel that even though we are far from our country, we are still together.
01:24As I said, our experience in Canada was like we became closer.
01:32Because we were able to go out, we were able to eat breakfast every morning.
01:37We were able to be together with our bosses.
01:41So it was like we became a team.
01:43There was no hope, there was no alpha.
01:49It was like we were all helping each other to make this project successful.
01:53And at the same time, it was also our time to take action.
01:57So it was actually the first time that we were able to watch the NPA game.
02:04When we were in Toronto, we watched the Raptors and the Indianapolis game.
02:09I will never forget that experience.
02:13And I really enjoyed being in Canada.
02:16Actually, Bianca and I, we don't really talk about what we're going to sing.
02:21Because we don't know what we're going to sing.
02:26But maybe there are parts that we help each other.
02:31How can we sing this better?
02:35Because Bianca and I, we help each other.
02:40We are very clear about our personalities as an individual.
02:45So we go with who we both really are.
02:48And then our teamwork is that we train each other of some sort.
02:52If we have questions, if we have something to do that we're not sure about the execution,
02:58or whenever we need confidence, we get it from each other.
03:01So now that we're in Tokyo,
03:03we're always looking for the best coffee shops or brunch places.
03:11So that's what we're looking forward to.
03:14Other than the show,
03:16at the same time, we know that there are a lot of global Filipinos in Tokyo.
03:23And for sure, they're excited to watch our show.
03:30So we're really looking forward to it.
03:35Our favorite things about Japan,
03:37maybe first is that Japan is actually the first country that Ryu and I traveled to.
03:42When we started being in the relationship.
03:45So I look forward to going back there with him, of course,
03:48and maybe revisit the other spots that we've been to.
03:52And yes, he has mentioned that.
03:54The thing that we do every time we go to another country
03:57is that we look for the hidden coffee shops in the area where we are.
04:03You know, we love walking and just randomly going to places
04:07without being in the area for the whole day.
04:09So that's how we travel.
04:11But of course, again, this is also my first time performing in Japan.
04:16So thank you so much to Sparkle and GMA for giving us this opportunity.
04:20So I also look forward to being able to bond
04:24and to see how much they accept us
04:27and how our Filipino community in that country.
04:30We were so happy that we were able to meet the Filipino community in Canada in the first leg.
04:35So now, we're here in Japan.
