00:00Miss Universe Philippines 2025, Naitai Kapuso, please welcome Atisa Manalo.
00:18Thank you. Thank you for being here.
00:20What's going on?
00:20Marami marami. I love that walk.
00:22Thank you for having me.
00:25Do you have a name? I mean, every queen in this country has a walk.
00:28Do you have a name for the walk, Willanaman?
00:30People call my walk, Pambansang Manika Walk.
00:32So I'm going to run with that one.
00:34So how does a Pambansang Manika Walk go?
00:38How does it go?
00:39Just being sweet and demure, but also powerful.
00:47So it's sweet and demure, but powerful.
00:51The powerful comes from the...
00:53Yeah, that's the sense.
00:54I noticed that.
00:56Would you like to walk with me?
00:57Yes, let's do it.
00:58Oh, gliding.
00:59You might be...
01:00You might be compared.
01:02I mean, that's my...
01:02Then I can step up my game.
01:05Yeah, you have to.
01:06Okay?
01:07Three, two, one, go.
01:10Then power stand.
01:12How dare.
01:13Thank you very much.
01:18Thanks, Tito Boy.
01:19Wow, five days after the contest, after the pageant, has everything shrunk in?
01:25No, no, it hasn't.
01:26Hindi pa?
01:26I still feel normal.
01:28I still feel like myself.
01:30I still see the same face in the mirror every day.
01:32So I'm like, this is just an additional sash and crown as of now.
01:36That's a nice attitude, di ba?
01:38Parang corona lamang ang nadagdag.
01:41But it was a hard journey to get to that crown.
01:44Of course, it was.
01:45Ngirap, no?
01:45Ngirap.
01:46I started doing pageants at 10 years old.
01:49In my research, at 4, you already joined the contest.
01:52I was 4th grade.
01:53I was 10 years old.
01:54Ah, so 10 years old, 4th grade.
01:57Yeah.
01:57Okay, imagine that.
01:59At saka, fast forward, 2018, you competed with CAT and you won international, Binibining Pilipinas International.
02:06And then last year, you were with Chelsea, Manalo.
02:10And then this year, you got the crown.
02:13Tanong at Isa, anong iba ang ginawa mo kaya nakuha mo ang corona?
02:18This year?
02:18Yes.
02:19I made sure I wasn't in my head.
02:21All throughout before, like the…
02:23Anong ibig sabihin?
02:24You weren't in your head.
02:25Because in 2024, I was overthinking everything.
02:28I had a plan a year before it even happened.
02:31Every single move, every single decision, I overthink, I plan it.
02:36And then for this year, it was sudden that I joined.
02:40I wasn't even supposed to be here.
02:42But the opportunity came, a lot of doors opened for me.
02:44So I was like, why not take it?
02:46So I was more feeling, I was more experiencing than thinking and planning.
02:51Ganda.
02:52You know, that's a very important lesson.
02:53Kasi naalala ko, you were supposed to run.
02:56Tatakbo ko sana si Atisa bilang kunsehal sa Candelaria.
03:00I was, yeah.
03:00You had to withdraw your candidacy for you to be able to join.
03:05Yes.
03:06A million versus Philippines.
03:07Tama, no?
03:08Yes.
03:08Ah, okay.
03:09Overthinking.
03:10Totoo ho yan.
03:11Kasi the art is, even sa actors, when you overthink, medyo may pakakontrive.
03:18Yeah.
03:18Study, research, rehearse, and then make, kasi making it look like the most natural.
03:25And making it look like spontaneous is a whole challenge.
03:27Yeah, exactly, Tito.
03:28Ang ganda.
03:29I learned that from Atisa today.
03:31So don't overthink.
03:32Know what you're doing, but the moment you're on stage, let go.
03:35Yeah, exactly.
03:36Like, you've practiced for it so many times.
03:38You already know what to do.
03:39It's muscle memory.
03:41So at that time, you just gotta experience it and like hear people shouting for you and
03:45like living in it.
03:47Alam mo, palagay ko, you're gonna get the Miss Universe crown.
03:49Yeah, it's clean than that one.
04:19Yeah, it's clean.
04:49Yeah, it's clean.
