00:00Q&A
00:05Q&A
00:06Did you go for training?
00:09Did you prepare for it?
00:10During our time in Binibini,
00:12we each have our own notebook.
00:14So during the rehearsal,
00:16we'll open the notebook
00:17and we'll compare the possible questions.
00:20And then we'll share it.
00:22On your own?
00:23We'll share the questions with the candidates.
00:24Oh, you'll share it?
00:25Yes, just like that.
00:26What about you, Marisa?
00:27With me, I had to be updated
00:30with the current affairs.
00:33So what I did,
00:35I subscribed to Reader's Digest.
00:37I read National Geographic and everything.
00:42I know not only in the Philippines,
00:45but even what's going on outside the country,
00:48just in case.
00:49I remember during the pre-judging,
00:52I was asked,
00:53who's your favorite female leader?
00:57At that time,
00:58the most popular one was Benazir Bhutto.
01:02Oh.
01:03That's the one.
01:04Okay.
01:05I think I said something.
01:07If I'm not mistaken,
01:09Benazir Bhutto is our president's classmate.
01:12Yes.
01:13They went to school together, right?
01:14President Bombo Marcos.
01:15Yes.
01:16Really?
01:17What was the question?
01:18What did you learn in joining pages?
01:21Because when I joined Binibini,
01:22it was like there's Hawaiian Tropic,
01:25Hawaiian Tropic International.
01:26You came from there.
01:27It's different.
01:28So Apa Ongpin asked me,
01:30what did I learn in joining pages?
01:32And what did you say?
01:33It's showing the best in me,
01:34not only my physical beauty,
01:36but also my internal beauty,
01:37which is coming from the heart,
01:38and also to test my faith in God.
01:41That's my answer.
01:43Binibini, Binibini, International 1994.
01:46It's simple.
01:47Was there a rivalry back then,
01:49between Mutia and Binibini?
01:51I didn't feel anything.
01:52You?
01:53Me too.
01:54I didn't feel anything.
01:55Although, you would hear talks around that, you know.
01:59But it didn't affect you?
02:00Not really.
02:01Because I also have a lot of friends
02:02who are from Binibini and, you know.
02:05Michelle Aldana, right?
02:06Made into showbiz also.
02:07Yes.
02:08And a lot of you really became artists.
02:10Yes.
02:11Yes.
02:12This is just quick.
02:13Before we do fast talk, Alma.
02:14You've been through a lot.
02:15I was also in her other stories, right?
02:19Let's go straight to this,
02:20because we don't have so much time.
02:22Alma, I remember during your pregnancy.
02:25In one of the stories, you said,
02:27this is the lowest point in your life.
02:29Yes.
02:30One of the darkest periods of your life.
02:32And then, when you were in Guam.
02:34Yes.
02:35Twenty-three days in Guam.
02:37Yes.
02:38Because of drugs.
02:40A lot of people thought,
02:41how could Alma come back?
02:43The question is, how did you maneuver?
02:46Paano mo pinaikot ang buhay mo
02:48na narating mo ngayon kung saan ka naroon?
02:51Buo, masaya, content, strong.
02:55How did you do it?
