00:00One horse opens sleigh-na-sleigh, not just in the race, because the horses in Laguna are rampaging.
00:12In the beauty contest held once upon a time in Mahay-Hay, Laguna,
00:20the rampagers are all long-legged.
00:24They wear eleganza extravaganza.
00:29But they are not models, but horses.
00:35In the year of horse rampage, in Anilinang Festival,
00:40who will be the winner of the competition?
00:44Get ready, because the beautiful girl is coming.
00:47It's hard to prepare for what's coming.
00:50I have a bomb that I'm going to do.
00:52Wait for it.
00:53Let the race begin!
00:57There's a cowboy.
01:01There's a horse with a slender mane that was groomed by the rice.
01:07Fourteen girls are dressing up.
01:11Not just themselves, but especially their horses.
01:17One of the girls who joined this year,
01:21is Leilani,
01:23confident that her creation will be a hit,
01:27made from a ravenous rat.
01:30How did it form like that?
01:32I just tailored it to the clothes.
01:34Leilani's tandem is her father Lamberto's horse.
01:39The costume that I used was helped by my aunts.
01:44It's a family effort.
01:45It's made of kayak leaves.
01:47It's similar to a horse.
01:50It's a battle for the grand prize of 7,000 pesos.
01:56Get ready, because the beautiful girl is coming.
01:59I won't let you down.
02:01The contestants will not only judge by their runway look,
02:06but also by the criteria of their walk.
02:11Erickson is a master at this.
02:15I believe in never say die.
02:17He's wearing a suit.
02:19Pia Horseback?
02:21Words Backyard?
02:23Wait a minute.
02:26If he wins the crown and the cash prize,
02:30he plans to add money to buy his own horse.
02:34The price of a horse is 20,000 pesos.
02:36If you have your own, you can focus on taking care of it.
02:40You can use it for your livelihood.
02:44Romnick is one of the so-called dark horse of the competition.
02:50He's also nervous when it comes to the most important round of the competition,
02:56the Q&A.
02:57What will you ask me?
02:59I'll answer what's on my mind,
03:00so that I can comfortably think of the questions.
03:03His coach, his wife, Grace, is very considerate.
03:08If you have to choose, a horse or your husband's shoes?
03:14A horse.
03:15If we have a horse,
03:17I can buy shoes for you when we make money.
03:21I have a lot of confidence because when he answers,
03:25he's always focused from his heart.
03:28Wait a minute.
03:29Let's start with their tourism staff.
03:33Your question is,
03:34What is the essence of this horse pageant in your province?
03:54Back to our contestants.

04:22Thank you very much for the beautiful question.
04:24After the room-mampa,
04:26each of them will face the microphone for their Q&A.
04:31What is the happiest part of your life
04:35from being a horseman?
04:37I've experienced being a horseman
04:40because of what my father does,
04:43even if it's hard.
04:44If you have to choose,
04:46what would you choose to take care of?
04:49A horse or a chicken?
04:51First of all, a horse.
04:53We use this in our daily life.
04:59What is the happiest part of your life
05:01from being a horseman?
05:04I've experienced being a horseman
05:06because of what my father does,
05:08even if it's hard.

05:51I used to be in 3rd place in 2022.

05:56That's why I'm very happy.
05:58He also became the best in costume.
06:01When he said he was going to win,
06:03I was still standing.
06:04So, of course, I made it.
06:06In total, Romnick won 9,000 pesos.
06:11For me,
06:12half of it was mine.
06:13Of course,
06:14my husband designed it.
06:16That's how I won.
06:18While we try as much as possible
06:20to discourage the use of animals
06:22for purposes of rituals
06:24or cultural practices.
06:25If we can't avoid it,
06:28we hope that we can promote
06:31the safety and welfare
06:33of the animals we use
06:35in these practices.
06:37We won't harm our horses.
06:39We ensure their safety.
