00:00The pageant night, ang daming kontrobersiya, luto, dayaan, baligtad ang ranking.
00:11Dapat ang nanalo, dapat dun sa, di ba si, what's your name?
00:16How do you pronounce that?
00:18Cotevois?
00:19Cotevois.
00:20I think.
00:20Cotevois and then Philippines and then etc. etc.
00:24So marami ang nangyari.
00:25Your take.
00:27It happened na.
00:28It happened na.
00:29However, you know, there will always be things in life na hindi natin magugustuhan yung risulta.
00:34And that goes for anything, even this competition.
00:37And to me, tapos na siya, wala na tayong magagawa about it.
00:41Let's just move on with our lives.
00:42But this one was different.
00:43Kasi sa tinagal-tagal, alam mo naman, bahagi ng tama ka dun sa isang sumakasagot mo, humihinto ang ating buhay if it's Miss Universe.
00:50Humihinto pag nagkikipag-boxing, may match si Manny Pacquiao.
00:54I mean, you're right there.
00:55This is important to us.
00:56Hindi natin alam kung paano nagre-react na ibang tao sa buong mundo.
00:59But to us, this is part of, you know, of our life.
01:04Importante sa atin ito.
01:05Kaya nung lumabas si Omar Harfouche at sinabing, accused of Miss Universe organization of carrying out a secret voting of the top 30.
01:14Natalie Glebova, wala daw auditing firm.
01:17Yung mga envelopes were not sealed.
01:19Siyempre nagdududa kami.
01:20Di ba?
01:20Siyempre.
01:21Your take.
01:23Well, I, as an accountant, I really think that auditing.
01:27Right.
01:27Yeah.
01:28Auditing is an important part of, like, proper competitions and proper measures of something.
01:33But, again, what is there for me to do, di ba?
01:37No, but at least I take a few steps back.
01:40Okay.
01:40And then, even in retrospect, let's connect the dots.
01:45When you look at it, now that it's done, it's over, kahit katiting, wala kang paniniwala that it was rigged a bit.
01:54After 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 ng mga kaganapan.
02:04In your assessment.
02:06In my assessment, I've been in pageants for 18 years.
02:11And I know that not all news are factual when it comes to pageants.
02:17It's hard to know kung ano yung chismes at ano yung totoo.
02:20So, for me, I always make sure that I don't judge based on what I hear, especially if there's no evidence to it.
02:26Okay.
02:26So, your position is that, you know, it's a contest.
02:30It happened.
02:30If I presented facts, then I might change my opinion.
02:35But with no facts, it is what it is.
02:38Okay.
02:39Now, I totally understand that.
02:40What were you hearing from the other girls?
02:44After?
02:44Because there was a booing that happened right after the contest.
02:47You know what? We don't hear anything on stage.
02:50I was told by my friends and family that...
02:53Ah, I didn't know that.
02:54Ah, you didn't know that.
02:54We were backstage, of course.
02:56But you heard about it.
02:57I heard about it.
02:58Not that we're happy that it happened because, you know...
03:02Yeah, it's never nice to tear anyone down.
03:04But somehow, it was an indication of how people were reacting in the venue to her victory.
03:13It was sad.
03:13I mean, you know...
03:14Yeah, no one would want to win that way, naman, di ba?
03:17Okay.
03:18Si Louie Adejang, ating kaibigan, was one of the judges, you know?
03:21Yes.
03:21And in one of his interviews, I was...
03:23Louie, if you're watching, I was actually trying to call you.
03:25Tinatawagan ko, hindi ako maka-contact kay Louie.
03:28Parang ang comment niya was, when Mexico was announced, nagkatinginan daw sila, I would suppose it was another judge.
03:35And for us, you know...
03:37And then, basta sa kanya, it was Thailand and Pilipinas.
03:42Pero, in fairness to Louie, he said he didn't know how the other judges voted.
03:47That's true.
03:47Oo.
03:48Hindi lang siya yung judge.
03:49Pero ito talaga ang pinakakontrobersyala at isa.
03:53Hindi ka rin ba nagtanong kung nasaan si Ann?
03:56Ah!
03:56Because she was very visible in the Miss Universe.
03:58That's true, no?
04:00Oo.
04:00Yeah, I have not seen her the entire time, no?
