01:30Susan, you have speaking lines.
01:32Back to you, Susan.
01:34Come on, Susan.
01:36Congratulations, Kirk.
01:40How do you feel right now?
01:42Right now?
01:44Right now?
01:46Please give Susan tissue.
01:48I woke up at 3.30.
01:50She cooked the world fastest chicken adobo.
01:52I feel absolutely terrific.
01:54That's normal for us to wake up at 3.30 a.m.
01:58That's normal for us.
02:00I'm not complaining. I feel fantastic.
02:02Congratulations.
02:04How was your experience in competing with Mr. International Pageant in Thailand?
02:08Oh, you can speak Tagalog.
02:10You can speak in English.
02:12I can speak in English.
02:14No speak, but I can understand Tagalog very well.
02:16Okay, good.
02:18I would talk in English.
02:20How about this?
02:22It was the best and the worst experience I had.
02:24Worse because I got super sick while competing.
02:28I was fainting.
02:30I almost fainted.
02:32Is it a lack of food? Is it a diet?
02:34It was everything.
02:36But at the end of the day, it was worth it because
02:40I saw my parents and I saw my friends and family who supported me.
02:44I don't see my parents a lot.
02:46So having them cheering for me and the audience.
02:48Proud na proud.
02:50Did you have a large Filipino crowd during the pageant night?
02:52I had the biggest.
02:56Of course.
02:58The other supporters of the Philippines.
03:00It's amazing.
03:02Anyway, Lynn.
03:04We heard that you prepared something for us today.
03:08Yeah, I prepared, of course.
03:10I prepared the best.
03:12We love two words.
03:13And that is chicken.
03:14And that is adobo.
03:15Chicken adobo?
03:16That's our breakfast, huh?
03:18I didn't really prepare it.
03:19We have a beautiful team here who prepared it.
03:21But!
03:22I will say this.
03:23We do love eating chicken adobo.
03:25Yes!
03:26And we're still in April.
03:27So what are we waiting for?
03:28Let's go to our U.S. Cacina and we'll make it.
03:31What are we eating for?
03:33We're gonna have to taste test it.
03:35Go to the kitchen and do the cooking.
03:38I will take my fleck.
03:39I will take my fleck.
03:40Raise the fleck.
03:41Raise the fleck.
03:42That's it.
03:43That's it.
03:44That's it.
03:45We have a fleck in the back.
03:46Oh, it's good.
03:47Okay.
03:48So, Perk, go to your spot.
03:49Okay.
03:50So, of course, before you cook, please wear the special apron that we have prepared for you today.
03:55Okay.
03:56There's a name.
03:57There's a name.
03:58Oh, it's a sashing moment.
04:00Oh, sashing.
04:01You're so used to it.
04:02All over again.
04:03All over again.
04:04Wow.
04:05Oh, yeah.
04:06Wait, I will do this.
04:08This one?
04:09Yeah, we might.
04:10Oh, yeah.
04:11So, it doesn't get dirty.
04:12Let's just set it aside first.
04:14Come on, ma'am.
04:15Okay.
04:16We're gonna cook today chicken adobo.
04:19Again, the quickest chicken adobo.
04:21Yes.
04:22The quickest.
04:23But the most special, of course.
04:24It's so delicious.
04:25It's so delicious.
04:26It's so delicious.
04:27It's so delicious.
04:28Okay.
04:29So, let's proceed.
04:30What's the first thing that we should do?
04:31What we should do actually is to?
04:33Free.
04:34Help.
04:36God bless us.
04:37Bless this food that's already cooked for us.
04:39Oh, yeah.
04:40It will be amazing.
04:41Okay.
04:42So, let's fry already.
04:43It's marinated already.
04:44So, let's put the marinade in this one.
04:47Okay.
04:48I think it's pretty hot already.
04:49Go ahead.
04:50I mean, we have everything here on set.
04:51That's right.
04:52I think, as you see here, the chicken adobo.
04:53The chicken is pretty cooked.
04:54Yes.
04:55We want to eat it right after, okay?
04:57There are so many avangers.
04:58Oh, there are so many avangers.
04:59And that's the best part.
05:00What's my breakfast?
05:01Wow.
05:02You hear that sizzling?
05:03Yeah.
05:04Isn't it?
05:05So wonderful.
05:06Okay.
05:07So now, put the marinade and add water into the pan.
05:10How much?
05:12Just put some?
05:13Just follow your heart.
05:14Just some sprinkler.
05:15I follow my heart.
05:16I will do more.
05:18Yeah.
05:19I like sabaw.
05:20Yeah.
05:21I like sabaw.
05:22Okay, good.
05:23That's pretty good.
05:24Especially in the morning.
05:25There are so many sabaw.
05:26We need to hydrate in the morning.
05:27That's very important.
05:28That's true.
05:29Now, we can add.
05:30Okay.
05:31I think this is the marinade, right?
05:32This is the marinade.
05:33Just put it in as well.
05:34The whole thing.
05:35The whole thing.
05:36This is the easiest cooking experience I've ever had in my entire life.
05:42Also, the leaves.
05:43We like the leaves, okay?
05:44Mother Nature.
05:45We need it.
05:46Yes.
05:47Bay leaves.
05:48Because you are from Baguio.
05:49Or your family is from Baguio City.
05:51Yes.
05:52Yes.
05:53My mother is a very proud igurut.
05:54She always told me, Kirk, you're not Filipino.
05:57You are an igurut.
05:58Yeah.
05:59She made me wear the FBI shirt.
06:01Uh-huh.
06:02Full-blooded igurut.
06:03Oh, wow.
06:04Oh, wow.
06:05That makes sense.
06:06Okay.
06:07Salt and pepper.
06:08So, salt.
06:09Not all of it.
06:10Not all of it.
06:11We know the salt bay.
06:12Yes.
06:13I do.
06:14And here, just put a little bit.
06:15Just a half.
06:16Like half of it.
06:17If there's salt, there needs to be pepper.
06:18Yes.
06:19That's right.
06:20One.
06:21Two.
06:22Two.
06:23I love you.
06:24Three.
06:25Yeah, okay.
06:26So, Kirk, while we are waiting, we'll get to know you more first.
06:30Yes.
06:31Okay, congratulations for winning.
06:32So, you're the second Filipino title winner of Mr. International.
06:35Correct.
06:3611 years after your first won in the pageant.
06:39So, what do you think made you stand out?
06:42Oh, my gosh.
06:43I feel like there's so many ways how you can stand out as a person, especially in pageantry.
06:48But I think one thing that people have been telling me over and over is that I think my heart was in the right place.
06:55And I think if you carry yourself with that dignity on stage, people will see that.
07:00That's true.
07:01Dignity is important.
07:02It really needs to be a big one.
07:04Yeah.
07:05And of course, you're also one of the top five finalists for National Costume.
07:10Can you walk us through the story of your costume?
07:12Yeah.
07:13So, oh my gosh.
07:14The National Costume.
07:15I love you, Patrick.
07:16He's my designer.
07:17Oh.
07:18So, my idea was I wanted to represent the Philippines and it's all royalty.
07:25Right?
07:26That's the costume.
07:27That's beautiful.
07:28Yeah.
07:29See, this is where I almost fainted.
07:31Look at this.
07:32I'm going down now the stairs.
07:33I had high fever.
07:34I was shaking backstage.
07:36Wow.
07:37I really did not feel well.
07:38This was the worst day I had.
07:40See, see?
07:41Back.
07:42Oh, there it is.
07:43You see this?
07:44And I was like, wow, kiss, kiss.
07:45But you faked it very, very well.
07:47You have to do it.
07:48Yeah, we don't see it.
07:50But yeah, it's the pearl of the Orient Sea.
07:53Because that's what we say for the Philippines, right?
07:55How heavy is that outfit?
07:56Not that heavy because we have to travel with it.
07:59And you know, traveling with a costume such as needs to be versatile, light and compact.
08:05Wow.
08:06You wore it very, very well.
08:07Yeah, because you know in pageantry, a lot of guys, they represent their country through
08:12a warrior spirit.
08:13And I was like, I don't want to compete as a warrior.
08:15I want to be, you know, feel royal, be a king.
08:18So that's what I did.
08:19Okay, so your opening walk was also trending where it seemed like you were dancing.
08:24So according to some netizens, you are the male version of our Miss Universe Catriona
08:30Oh, there you go.
08:31Oh, wow.
08:32Yeah, you do like it.
08:33You are dancing.
08:34So what is your reaction to the netizens' reaction to your walk?
08:38Walk slash dance.
08:40My reaction to that is...
08:42Yeah, to the people saying, you are dancing.
08:44Yeah, walking.
08:45Yeah, walking.
08:46Which is great.
08:47Do I look like a person who cannot dance?
08:49Yeah, it's very natural actually.
08:50Yeah, it is.
08:51Because this wasn't rehearsed.
08:53Ah, that was the feeling of the moment.
08:55Yeah, because it's important.
08:56We have a rehearsal.
08:57It's not that we don't rehearse, right?
08:58But the music...
08:59Your plan.
09:00Your big plan.
09:01Yeah, because the music and the cueing, you have to connect in that moment with the music.
09:04So whatever feels right in that moment, you have to connect also with the audience.
09:07That's what's in your heart.
09:08You have pain, but you've given everything.
09:10Yes, that's true.
09:11So when you hear it, you say, oh, the music is making my body move.
09:16Let's just move it.
09:17Exactly.
09:18Because it's Pearl of the Orient.
09:19You have to play around with the beat.
09:22Because if you have like one structure and then the beat doesn't really hit, you will look like a fool.
09:27You need to be flexible in the moment.
09:29And of course, aside from runway walks, the most awaited part, the Q&A portion.
09:35How do you prepare for this?
09:36It's already done.
09:37Do you actually prepare for it?
09:39Yes and no.
09:40Yes and no.
09:41Because you don't know which question will come.
09:43And it has to be natural.
09:44It has to be natural.
09:45Speaking of the United Nations.
09:47But there's ways how you can prepare for it.
09:49Of course, you learn.
09:50You practice.
09:51You do your Q&A training, which is very important.
09:53But it's more so that you need to be more aware of what's happening around the world.
09:57That is very true.
09:58You need the back.
09:59It's here.
10:00It's here.
10:01Yes.
10:02Here's the thing.
10:03If you're on a stage, it's a performance.
10:05So it's not just about talking, you know, have a content be cohesive.
10:09But also bring it apart.
10:11But not gonna lie.
10:12I was probably never ever this nervous ever in my entire life.
10:16At that time, I was still recovering from my sickness.
10:19Right?
10:20I had a dry throat.
10:21Throat?
10:22Yeah.
10:23And I was like trying to swallow.
10:24Give me a little bit of saliva.
10:25Please.
10:26A little bit.
10:27And the thing is, you know, there's a timer.
10:28So, okay.
10:29This is, you have to understand something, right?
10:31When you're on stage, left and right, there's this big screen.
10:34And there's this timer that goes down.
10:36And when it hits zero, it gets red.
10:39So you're just there looking at the camera and you don't see anything but light.
10:42But you see the light gets from blue to orange to red.
10:46And you have to be quick.
10:48That's right now.
10:49You have to get your thoughts across.
10:50Like now, we have to cook quickly the chicken adobe.
10:53And of course, everyone is curious, right?
10:55What is your...
10:56What is your relationship status?
10:58So for those who are, you know, dreaming of having you as, you know,
11:02they're more than friends, more than friends.
11:05So as a special someone, is there a special someone?
11:07My heart is very happy right now.
11:10And I love my heart.
11:12It's in a good spot.
11:13I feel like I'm focused.
11:15And sooner or later, maybe there will come something out.
11:19Maybe not.
11:20We will see.
11:21I let life God decide that.
11:23Yeah.
11:24It's time for you.
11:25It's time for you.
11:26That's it.
11:27Yes.
11:28And Kirk, of course, after winning Mr. International,
11:30what should we and your fans look forward to?
11:33I'm looking forward to sleep.
11:36That's number one.
11:37For me, personally, I'm...
11:39It's just...
11:40My life doesn't make sense.
11:41I don't even know where I'm next week.
11:43Ah, okay.
11:44Maybe I will be in Spain.
11:45Monday at a time.
11:46Yeah.
11:47But there are a lot of projects.
11:48And if you just want to follow me, just follow me on my Instagram.
11:51Ah, social media.
11:52And I think I will keep you up to date there.
11:55Okay.
11:56That's great.
11:57It looks like you've totally recovered from whatever you were feeling during the pageant.
12:00No.
12:01No?
12:02No?
12:03No?
12:04No?
12:05No?
12:06No.
12:07That chicken adobo comes with extra Kirk jeans, I tell you that.
12:09Yeah.
12:10Okay.
12:11It looks like the chicken adobo of Kirk.
12:12It's ready to serve in the barcada.
12:15Is it done?
12:16It's done.
12:17Okay.
12:18Okay.
12:19I told you, weakest chicken adobo in the entire world.
12:21The pearl of the Orient version.
12:22Okay.
12:23What I want you to do is to serve that to the friends.
12:25To our friends.
12:26We need...
12:27No, no.
12:28It's okay.
12:29You can serve that one instead.
12:30Look, we are so prepared that I don't even need to put the dish on the plate.
12:33Yeah, we are.
12:34No, but we are going to eat that.
12:35Of course.
12:36Don't worry.
12:37Will I bring this...
12:38I'm just going to lower this before we can serve the studio.
12:41The pearl of the Orient.
12:42Guys, look what I have cooked in less than three minutes.
12:46No, that's just a bit longer.
12:48Five.
12:49Five days is a bit longer.
12:51Yeah, it's five.
12:52Thank you, sir.
12:53Mm-hmm.
12:54Chicken adobo.
12:55Five.
12:56If you're so handsome, your life is so beautiful.
12:58Mm-hmm.
12:59Thank you so much, Kirk, again, for cooking for us this morning, for joining us this morning.
13:05Thank you so much.
13:06Thank you so much.
13:07Congratulations.
13:10Susanne, what do you think of Kirk's adobo?
13:12I think adobo is okay.
13:14No, you should taste it.
13:15Yeah, later.
13:16No, no, no, no.
13:17Let's taste the adobo.
13:18This is the adobo.
13:19Yes.
13:20Rate my cooking skills.
13:21Yeah.
13:22I think this is good.
13:23Freshly cooked adobo.
13:24Yeah.
13:25I think it's great.
13:26Yeah.
13:27You have to remove the pepper.
13:28Very nice.
