01:53Thank you, Ramil.
01:59Nice to see you again.

02:02Good.

02:04I'm good.
02:05Ikaw?
02:06Really good.
02:07Okay na?
02:08Nagkapahinga na?
02:09How was your home coming kahapon?
02:10Ang saya dito.
02:11Ang daming tao.
02:12Ang daming tao.
02:13Hindi.
02:14Umulan nung gabi na.
02:15So, tapos na.
02:16Okay.
02:17Pinaparada muna ako.
02:18Ang daming tao.
02:19Tuesday, akala ko walang magiging masyadong tao kasi may pasok.
02:21Right.
02:22Pero, ang daming tao.
02:23So, nakakatawa.
02:24Mahal ka ng tao.
02:25Mahal ka ng ating mga kababayan.
02:27Yes!
02:28Mahal na mahal ka ng ating mga kababayan.
02:31Pero, okay, let's go to our conversation.
02:33As a young girl pangarap mo, ang Ms. Universe.
02:36Sabi mo, ang final destination mo ay ang Ms. Universe.
02:39Nangyari po ito ngayong 2025 na sinasabi ng marami ay
02:45the most scandal-ridden Ms. Universe.
02:49Pinakama-eskandalo, ika nga.
02:52So, ngayon, in retrospect, Atisa,
02:56being part of the 2025 Ms. Universe beauty pageant,
02:59were you, are you disappointed?
03:02No.
03:03Not at all.
03:04Why?
03:05I was living my dream.
03:07And I was focused on getting the goal of Ms. Universe 2025.
03:11And frankly, everything else around me, I didn't really care that much for whatever was happening around me.
03:19In the sense that ang goal ko maging Ms. Universe 2025.
03:23And there will always be drama wherever you are in life.
03:27So sa akin, focus lang ako.
03:29Whatever happening around me.
03:31Yeah, it's tough.
03:32But I believe you.
03:34In an interview, I heard somebody say that amidst the noise and chaos,
03:41pwede siya mag-isip.
03:43Pwede siya, you know, there are people like that.
03:45So, habang nagkakagulo, you knew what you wanted.
03:48Yun ang sinasabi mo.
03:49Yes.
03:50That's good.
03:51I wanted to talk to you about the Ms. Universe experience
03:53because number one, you did so well in the brilliance.
03:56Congratulations.
03:57Totoo.
03:58Bigla talagang nag-bloom.
04:00You were walking so well.
04:03You looked so good.
04:05It was perfect.
04:06Yung, sabi nga, may nagtanong sa akin kanina dito.
04:08Yung mga isinusot mo mong damit, like the National Cost Show of Maktumang, no?
04:11Maktumang, yes.
04:12And the other gowns, congratulations to the very talented designers we have in this country.
04:17Lahat yan, binibili mo, isinusoli, hinihiram.
04:20What is it?
04:21Ako, blessed ako that I'm surrounded with generous people.
04:24So, my designers, they make sure that I don't spend anything.
04:27Wow.
04:28Talagang tulong nila yun sa akin.
04:30Na sila yung magdedesign, sila yung bahala sa everything.
04:34And ako, ang kapalit ko is suotin yung creation nila.
04:37And I hope I did justice to all of their creations.
04:40You did.
04:41You did.
04:42Even the final gown?
04:43Ang ganda.
04:44Tito Val, yes.
04:45Ang ganda, ganda.
04:46Oo.
04:47And you did your makeup?
04:49I did.
04:50Kaling naman.
04:51I was trained by the best.
04:53I know.
04:54And the best is?
04:55I was trained by Albert Cunyawan and Mickey C.
04:57Ay, wow.
04:58Congratulations, Mickey and Albert.
04:59Two of the best.
05:00Two of the best in this country.
05:02And that's not a slogan.
05:04They are really two of the best makeup artists.
05:07Marami pa sana tayong pag-uusapan.
05:09But I wanna go straight to the issues.
05:11Ay.
05:12Okay.
05:13Grabe naman.
05:14Let's talk about.
05:15But congratulations.
05:16You did very well.
05:17Thank you, Tito.
05:18I wanted you to win.
05:19You were my winner.
05:20Of course.
05:21We talked about it.
05:22But ganun ang contest.
05:23Ganun ang contest.
05:24Yeah, it happens.
05:25Si Fatima Bosch versus Nawat.
05:28Napanood namin yun, Atisa.
05:30Remember that meeting?
05:31Nagsalita si Nawat.
05:32Yes.
05:33And he was talking about warning the girls na hindi sumusunod sa mga instructions.
05:37Yes.
05:38Do not follow your national directors.
05:40What was that?
05:41You were there.
05:42We were there.
05:43But I feel like before that even happened, there were already issues behind it.
05:50Mmm.
05:51Kasi it felt like a continuation of something else, eh.
05:55Issues between Miss Mexico and Nawat?
05:57That.
05:58That we are not aware of.
05:59Okay.
06:00Okay.
06:01Alright.
06:02Because we're only witness to whatever you guys saw also during the live.
06:06Because that was supposed to be our sashing ceremony.
06:09It was, yes.
06:10Yeah.
06:11So, how was it?
06:12I mean, it was a very tense moment.
06:14It was.
06:15The walk out.
06:16Yes.
06:17Diba?
06:18Ano yun?
06:19And then Nawat said, hindi naman daw niya sinabing dumb head.
06:24You know, he said, damaged.
06:26As if naman damaged.
06:28Didn't, didn't sting.
06:30Diba?
06:31Ano yun?
06:32What did he say?
06:33We are not.
06:34You know, tito boy, there's 122 girls.
06:37Okay.
06:38So, lahat kami, malayo.
06:39Alphabetical yan, eh.
06:40So, P ako.
06:41So, medyo nasa huli pa ako.
06:43So, sometimes nga, may mga sinasabi sila, hindi kami aware what is happening in front na.
06:48Hindi nyo naririnig masyado.
06:49Oo.
06:50And then of course, there's the, we all pronounce words differently.
06:54So, minsan hindi mo rin alam kung anong sinasabi nila.
06:57We have our own accents like Filipinos and Thais and everyone else.
07:00May kanya-kanya accents.
07:01So, hindi rin namin alam minsan.
07:03Okay.
07:04Pero malapit ka kay Miss Mexico.
07:05Kasi P and N.
07:06Yes.
07:07Remember?
07:08And then?
07:09Oo, nalito ko lang siya.
07:10Oo, tapos tumayo siya.
07:11Tumayo siya.
07:12What was she saying?
07:13She was mad.
07:14Galit.
07:15She was mad at her emotions when she was speaking.
07:17And I think it's understandable.
07:18It's not nice to be called out in front of a lot of people.
07:22I agree with that.
07:23Yes.
07:24So, I really think that whatever the issue was, it could have been resolved privately.
07:28That's my stance on it.
07:30Kasi they're both adults.
07:32Yeah.
07:33And you don't do that in front of other girls.
07:35This is a contest.
07:36Diba?
07:37Parang napag-initan ba?
07:39That.
07:40In your estimation?
07:41Because we are expected to follow rules and guidelines.
07:48And, you know, Thailand team was doing everything they could to promote Miss Universe.
07:54And, of course, as candidates, our job also is to help them promote.
07:58Ano yung hini-hini niya?
07:59For you girls to post what?
08:01Yes.
08:02Promote sponsors everywhere we go.
08:04You know, because pageant wouldn't happen without the sponsors.
08:07And that was fair to you?
08:09To me, it's fair, of course.
08:10Yes.
08:11That's the job.
08:12Miss Mexico thought otherwise.
08:13Ay, that I'm not sure of.
08:14I can't speak what she thought.
08:15Oo.
08:16Kasi meron pang mention sinawat tungkol sa, you know, your national director.
08:19Oo, maa.
08:20Yung hindi namin alam, tito.
08:21But what was uncalled for was the security thing.
08:24Ay, yes.
08:25Diba?
08:26Parang...
08:27Doon na parang ay.
08:28Relax mo tayong lahat.
08:29Oo.
08:30I mean, there was no...
08:31There was no...
08:32I mean, no physical harm was.
08:35Oo.
08:36I really think that anything could be solved with proper dialogue.
08:39Tama.
08:40Yun lang.
08:41One, I think you made a very good point.
08:42Sana, napag-usapan na lang na sila na lamang.
08:44Yes.
08:45Pangalawa, to have done that in front of the other girls.
08:47Yes.
08:48There was no danger of physical harm.
08:49Mm-mm.
08:50For Nawat to actually say, security.
08:51Mm-mm.
08:52Diba?
08:53But yun niya eh.
08:54Everyone's emotions were already...
08:56Yeah.
08:57To us a man, as an audience, that was a bit too much.
08:59Oo.
09:00Because I don't know what you guys...
09:01What you saw in the life.
09:02Ah, kami yun.
09:03Yung kita namin yun.
09:04Uhm...
09:05Magulo ba talaga si Nawat?
09:06I mean, ganun ba talaga siya?
09:08Is he fun?
09:09Is he nice?
09:10What is he like?
09:11Of all my one-on-one interactions with him, he's a kind person.
09:16Hindi siya maligalig?
09:17Hindi.
09:18Oh, okay.
09:19He's very proper.
09:20Uh-oh.
09:21Kasi ang dating niya sa amin, sa telebisyon, parang maligalig.
09:23Uh-oh.
09:24Yun nga.
09:25Well, you know naman how...
09:26I saw that thing on stage when he approached you.
09:29Ah!
09:30I saw that.
09:31What was that?
09:32What was that banter about?
09:33Um...
09:34He just...
09:35Wala.
09:36Nagkamusta lang siya sa akin.
09:37He said something, tapos natawa ko, and then niloko ko siya.
09:40No, I congratulated him.
09:41Sabi ko sa kanya...
09:42This was after the pageant?
09:43This was after the pageant.
09:44Congratulations.
09:45One of the best stages I've ever been, and productions I've ever been part of.
09:49Okay.
09:50And, of course, it's all because of him.
09:53So, nag-congrats ako sa kanya.
09:55Sabi ko, maybe in the future we could work together.
09:57Nagloko siya.
09:58Sabi niya, Miss Grant?
09:59Sabi ko, ay, hindi po.
10:01Ah, talaga.
10:02Yun yun.
10:03Oo.
10:04Kasi ang impression na nakukuha ng maraming tao.
10:07Pakialamero, maligalig, magulo.
10:09So, that's a different, you know, perspective.
10:12Uh-oh.
10:13Okay.
10:14Pageant night.
10:15Ang daming kontrobersiya.
10:16Luto.
10:17Dayaan.
10:18Baligtad ang ranking.
10:19Dapat ang nanalo, dapat dun sa, di ba si, what's the name?
10:24Cotevois.
10:25How do you pronounce that?
10:26Cotevois.
10:27Cotevois.
10:28Cotevois.
10:29I think.
10:30Cotevois.
10:31And then, Philippines, et cetera, et cetera.
10:32So, marami ang nangyari.
10:33So, marami ang nangyari.
10:34Your take.
10:35It happened na.
10:36It happened na.
10:37Whatever.
10:38You know.
10:39There will always be things in life na hindi natin magugustuhan yung risulta.
10:42And that goes for anything.
10:43Even this competition.
10:44And to me, tapos na siya.
10:45Wala na tayong magagawa about it.
10:46Let's just move on with our lives.
10:48But this one is different.
10:49Kasi, sa tinagal-tagal, alam mo naman, bahagi ng tama ka dun sa isang sumakasagot mo, humihinto ang ating buhay if it's Miss Universe.
10:58Humihinto pag nakikipag-boxing may match si Manny Pacquiao.
11:02I mean, you're right there.
11:03This is important to us.
11:04Hindi natin alam kung paano nagre-react na ibang tao sa buong mundo.
11:08But to us, this is part of, you know, of our life.
11:12Importante sa atin ito.
11:13Kaya nung lumabas si Omar Harfouche at sinabing, accused of Miss Universe organization of carrying out a secret voting of the top 30.
11:22Natalie Glebova, wala daw auditing firm.
11:25Yung mga envelopes were not sealed.
11:27Siyempre nagdududa kami.
11:29Diba?
11:30Your take?
11:32Well, I, as an accountant, I really think that auditing, yeah.
11:36Auditing is an important part of, like, proper competitions and proper measures of something.
11:42But, again, what is there for me to do, diba?
11:45No, but at least I take a few steps back.
11:48Okay.
11:49And then, even in retrospect, let's connect the dots.
11:53When you look at it, now that it's done, it's over,
11:57ah, kahit katiting, wala kang paniniwala that it was rigged a bit.
12:02After everything that had been said, relasyon di umano ng tatay ni Miss Mexico at saka ni Raul Rocha, the owner of Miss Universe, at lahat ang mga kaganapan.
12:12In your assessment?
12:15In my assessment, I've been in pageants for 18 years.
12:19And I know that not all news are factual when it comes to pageants.
12:25It's hard to know kung ano yung chismes at ano yung totoo.
12:28So, for me, I always make sure that I don't judge based on what I hear.
12:32Especially if there's no evidence to it.
12:34Okay.
12:35So, your position is that, ah, you know, it is a contest.
12:38It happened.
12:39It's territorial.
12:40If I presented facts, then I might change my opinion.
12:44But with no facts, things...
12:46Okay.
12:47Now, I totally understand that.
12:48It is what it is.
12:49What were you hearing from the other girls?
12:52After?
12:53Because there was a booing that happened right after the contest.
12:55You know what?
12:56We don't hear anything on stage.
12:58I was told by my friends and family that...
13:00But it's the first time.
13:01It's the first time.
13:02It's the first time.
13:03Yes.
13:04Backstage kami lahat, of course.
13:05But you heard about it.
13:06I heard about it.
13:07Oh, I don't know.
13:08Not that we're happy that it happened because, you know...
13:10Yeah, it's never nice to tear anyone down.
13:13But somehow, it was an indication of how people were reacting in the venue to her victory.
13:21It was sad.
13:22I mean, you know?
13:23Yeah.
13:24No one would want to win that way, right?
13:26Okay.
13:27Si Louie Arediang, our friend, was one of the judges.
13:29Yes.
13:30And in one of his interviews...
13:31Louie, if you're watching, I was actually trying to call you.
13:34I called you.
13:35I didn't contact Louie.
13:36His comment was, when Mexico was announced, I would suppose it was another judge.
13:43And for us, you know...
13:45And then...
13:46Basta sa kanya, it was Thailand and Pilipinas.
13:49Yes.
13:50But in fairness to Louie, he said he didn't know how the other judges voted.
13:55That's true.
13:56Yes.
13:57He's not the judge.
13:58But this is the most controversial.
13:59At least...
14:00Do you have to ask Anne if she's where she is?
14:03Ah!
14:04Because she was very visible in the Miss Universe and suddenly she was...
14:07That's true, no?
14:08Yeah.
14:09I have not seen her.
14:10You didn't?
14:11The entire time.
14:12No.
14:13Okay.
14:14Okay.
14:15Atisa, why did you ask the Miss Universe Asia title?
14:21It was never offered to me in the first place.
14:23It was not.
14:24No.
14:25And if it was offered to you, you would have accepted that?
14:27You know, Tito.
14:28Whatever.
14:29What's happening there...
14:30Even before...
14:31I'm still asking.
14:32Even before it offered to me, I said to Mama J, Ma...
14:35Mama J is Jonas.
14:37Mama J, when they offered, don't let us accept it.
14:40That's what I said to her.
14:41But I just assumed that they didn't offer it.
14:44Okay.
14:45So, I don't know where the rumors started that it was officially offered to me.
14:48But I don't know anymore what the talks were between Mama J and the organization.
14:53But on my behalf, it was never offered to me.
14:56Like...
14:57Okay.
14:58Cotevoire resigned.
14:59Your thoughts.
15:00Your reaction.
15:01I don't know the truth.
15:02She did.
15:03Am I right?
15:04She did, no?
15:05And then, girls unfriending each other.
15:08Ay, ang daming nangyayari.
15:10Hindi, Tito.
15:11Ang dami.
15:12Alam mo ako kasi, I stay in my lane eh.
15:14Parang okay, I have goals, I have things that I wanna do.
15:18I stay in my lane.
15:19Hindi ko alam yung nangyayari na may mga unfollowing.
15:22Pero you know, I remember the story of Janine Tugonon many years ago.
15:25Pagdating daw nila sa Las Vegas, sabi ng mama niya, nung nakita si Olivia Culpo, anak yan ang makakalaban mo.
15:31Ikaw nung dumating ka sa Miss Universe, sino talaga yung tinignan mo?
15:35Na parang, this is one of the strongest competitions.
15:38I would usually see Venezuela.
15:40Oo.
15:41Kasi I feeling ko, meron din akong konting, kasi nung Miss International, Venezuela was the winner.
15:48So, feeling ko, in the back of my head, meron akong natitirang feelings na okay baka si Venezuela na naman this time tapos first runner-up na naman ako.
15:57So, siya yung napapansin ko lagi talaga.
15:59And it helps that, napakaganda ni Venezuela.
16:02Parang siyang manika.
16:03Hindi, parang siyang naka-filter lagi.
16:05Totoo.
16:06As in, totoo yun.
16:07Ang ganda niya talaga.
16:08Were you happy with your Q&A performance?
16:10Because we were.
16:11I was.
16:12You were?
16:13I was, yes.
16:14Mabuhay, mabuhay si Atisa Manana.
16:16Congratulations.
16:17You made all of us proud.
16:22But the question is, what is next?
16:24Ito direts ang tanong.
16:25Politika ba ang pangalawa o ang susunod na chapter ng iyong buhay ang kasagutan?
16:31Sa pagbabalik po ng Fast Talk with Boy Abin.
16:39We're back to the show.
16:40Kasama po natin si Atisa.
16:42Atisa, let's do Fast Talk.
16:44Universe Multiverse.
16:47Universe Multiverse.
