00:00Hello! Hi!

00:02Are you ready to be my friends?

00:04Because, of course,

00:06I was on the screen

00:08and they were very good.

00:10So I thought, are they ready?

00:12But then I got super excited.

00:14Because I knew that this was something

00:16that I can do,

00:18and that I also wanted to do.

00:20I knew that I was ready.

00:22And I'm really happy to be here.

00:24This was such an honor, and of course,

00:26it's such a huge milestone for me.

00:38How do you do your preparation for this project?

00:40Well,

00:42I had to

00:44prepare physically and mentally.

00:46I really wanted to do my preparation.

00:50But unfortunately, I got hospitalized

00:52a month before the shoot

00:54so I didn't have to work out at all.

00:56Because I was too weak,

00:58so I just stayed disciplined

01:00with my meal plans.

01:02I didn't want to do the same thing.

01:04Because I also didn't want to push this idea

01:06that you had to look a certain way

01:08or a specific body shape

01:10to become a calendar girl

01:12to become a calendar girl.

01:14Also, I love my body

01:16because I really love my body.

01:18So, I didn't want to help.

01:20And I wanted to be more body-positive.

01:22I didn't really need to be a body-positive.

01:24So, I really needed to be a body-positive.

01:26So, I wanted to be more body-positive.

01:28So, I wanted to be more body-positive.

01:30So, I wanted to be more body-positive.

01:32And also,

01:34I studied the concept with my team.

01:36Because I really wanted to be more body-positive.

01:38Because I really wanted to be more body-positive.

01:40So, I really wanted to be more body-positive.

01:42And how do you have the way to own the title this year?

01:48For me, the 10-Y calendar is about being real and confident.

01:55You need to embrace who you are.

01:58You need to embrace your flaws.

02:00So, I may have earned the title again this year.

02:03Because I learned how to own every version of myself.

02:07The playful side, the soft side, the strong and fierce.

02:12So, yeah, really proud about that.

02:14It's important that you are empowering definitely.

02:19But sometimes, I kind of feel weird sometimes.

02:23Kasi parang, kasi na nakita kung baget sa kue.

02:26Tapos ganyan may kita nila, ganito na yung get-out ko.

02:29But, yun nga.

02:30So, in a way, it feels empowering for me.

02:33Kasi talagang, I like to shock people.

02:36I like to keep them guessing kung anong next kong gagawin.

02:39Um, so, yeah.

02:41It feels amazing.

02:42It feels good.

02:43Na nakita kala akong bagets.

02:45At yun, nakita nyo na ako as a woman.

02:47And now, I am more intentional with what I do.

02:50I am more confident with what I want to do with my career.

02:55Kasi in control na ako at my career right now.

02:57So, hindi na siya about doing anything.

02:59It's more about enjoying where I am.

03:03And just celebrate a girlfriend.

03:06And now, take care.

03:08Actually, madami ba?

03:09Madami ba ba maganda na hindi nalain na akala?

03:12Madami ba ba ba mangyayari?

03:14Siguro masak ko talaga more mature roles.

03:17And more creative projects.

03:19Maraming exciting collaborations.

03:22And yun, like, mas gusto ko lang mag-evolve.

03:25Not just as an actress.

03:27Pero as a woman din.

03:29So, ayun.

03:30Excited na ako na makita ng lahat na flower ko.
