01:06Merry Christmas!

01:08Grand afternoon!

01:10Nice to see you again!

01:12I love that! Grand afternoon!

01:14Nice way to say that!

01:16We haven't seen it yet, Emma.

01:18Yes, six years!

01:20Six years!

01:22We are 2022!

01:24Congratulations!

01:26Thank you!

01:27And happy birthday!

01:28Thank you!

01:30How are you doing your day?

01:32December 8th?

01:34I'm in the aeroplano.

01:36Mostly in the airport.

01:38Yes, in the Philippines.

01:40I need to do some work with Miss Grand Philippines.

01:44Thank you so much!

01:46We are celebrating together with my family in Thailand.

01:48Ganda!

01:49Sawadee ka!

01:50Kapon ka!

01:51Diba?

01:52Parang Thai na talaga si Emma.

01:54Inampon na po.

01:56December 8th is a very important holiday for us because it's the Immaculate Conception.

02:02What's your name?

02:03Emma Mary?

02:04I'm connected with Immaculate Conception.

02:06That's right.

02:07That's right.

02:08As we said to our directors and friends here,

02:12CJ is really beautiful.

02:14Super!

02:15My baby girl!

02:16Right!

02:18We are CJ was 2022 when I did the lecture for Binibining Pilipinas.

02:24Congratulations!

02:25What a journey it has been!

02:27Diba?

02:28Pareho kayo ng kwento.

02:30Local pageants.

02:32Ang daming pinagdaanan.

02:33Diba?

02:34Now that you're both Miss Grand,

02:35Ano yung naisabihin ang inyong puso?

02:39Finally.

02:40Salamat po.

02:42Finally.

02:43Finally.

02:44Yes.

02:45Parang, is this the ultimate para sa inyo?

02:50For me, yes Tito because I am already, oh.

02:55Pwede ba magpagsabi na ito?

02:57Pwede naman, pwede naman.

02:59I'm already 31.

03:01And, akala ko, I closed my door.

03:04I closed the chapter of pageantry already after the 2019 aiming for back-to-back for Intercon.

03:11Pero after that, sabi siguro ni Lord, sige ready ka na, isabak na kita ulit, baka ito na talaga, ito na yung para sa'yo.

03:18At ito ba?

03:19I took that risk po dito boy, because I have a work din po as a TV host and news anchor.

03:24Right.

03:25So I took that risk, I trained again, and joined competition.

03:28Ang hirap po lumaban with other girls ngayon ha.

03:31Kasi parang, our experience before sa pageantry, ibang-iba na po ngayon.

03:36So you need to adopt also.

03:37Right.

03:38Especially with the social media postings and all.

03:41So, kaya sabi ko, thank you Lord for this opportunity na hindi mo tinanggal yung pangarap dito sa puso ko at tinulungan mo ko to achieve that.

03:51Yeah, and sustain the fire.

03:53Ikaw, CJ.

03:54Sa akin naman po, finally, kasi during Binibini noong 2022, I was actually, I think people know, I was aiming for the grand crown na.

04:03So, parang after how many years na bigla nagkaroon siya ng solo pageant, sabi ko, parang it's another chance for us to maybe redeem ourselves.

04:13Let's try again.

04:14Baka ito na yung time.

04:15Right.

04:16And sabi nga nila, baka destiny din talaga.

04:18It wasn't my time during 2022, but at least there's a Filipina we celebrated during 2022, my sister Roberta also.

04:24So, I'm so happy for her.

04:26And sabi ko, finally, Lord, thank you so much for being with me sa lahat ng mong pageant journey ko din.

04:32And that night, I was crowned to represent the Philippines.

04:35But also, I think it was the most challenging for me kasi I was given only three days to prepare before I went to Thailand to compete.

04:44And I'm so grateful. I am really, really grateful. And happy na after nung rain ko, it goes directly to another Filipina.

04:54The crown goes directly to her. Yes.

04:56Yes!

04:57Pero, ito. One of the most distinct things about Ms. Grant ay yung, yun nga, yung pagsisigaw.

05:05Ano yan? Tinuturo sa inyo?

05:07Hindi po.

05:08Kasi sa Thailand, di ba, may mga local video contest.

05:10Yes.

05:11So, talaga ang intro nila ay pumunta muna sa Kiapo, balik sa Baklaran, tapos mo, di ba?

05:17That's the way, there's a contest.

05:19Ay, ganun po. Miss Grandion.

05:21Miss Grandion.

05:22Yes, yes po.

05:23Palal na pag nagbanggit sila ng R, parang ang haba nung R. Parang nakakatuwa po.

05:28Actually, it's all about entertainment talaga.

05:30Entertainment talaga.

05:31I get that. Sample nga, CJ. How did you introduce yourself during your time?

05:37Christine Juliano Piazza, Miss Grand Philippines!

05:42Gano'n, di ba? Ika na pano siya.

05:45Sintry kong sumigaw. Ay, papiyot na.

05:48Sample nga, Emma.

05:50Nako, Tito, may hand gesture kasi.

05:52Sige nga.

05:53Go.

05:54Go. Yeah.

05:55I'll give you this thing.

05:56Sige nga. Paano?

05:57Eto siya, Tito.

05:58Ginagaya na rin ng mga bata.

06:01Emma Mary Tiglao, Miss Grand Philippines!

06:07Napanood natin, di ba? Yung kanyang contest, yung batch mo.

06:14Alam mo, wala nga ginawa.

06:15Kundi aralin talaga yung contest.

06:17You knew the contest.

06:18And from the very beginning, sabi ko, ay, alam niya ang laban, di ba?

06:22It's because of my team din po.

06:23Especially Mommy G.

06:24Okay.

06:25Let's talk about the controversies, di ba?

06:28Yung ngayon pa daw, CJ.

06:29Yes po.

06:30Miss India.

06:31Let's talk about Miss India.

06:32Mabilisan ito.

06:33Nag-resigned sa Miss India.

06:34That was big news.

06:35Yes.

06:36Dahil ang allegations niya ay body shaming, harassment, broken promises, mistreatment, etc.

06:44Di ba?

06:45She had a press conference.

06:46Yes.

06:47The very day you learned that you were taking over.

06:49Yes.

06:50Kasi you were first runner-up.

06:51Yes po.

06:52Ano yung pakiramdam?

06:53Honestly, sabi ko sa team ko, ako, I'm open to accept.

07:00Kasi that's my responsibility as the first runner-up.

07:03As first runner-up.

07:04That's what we signed up for.

07:05Oh.

07:06And as a queen, you have to stand up also for the organization and for the rest of the queens

07:10who represented their country.

07:11So sabi ko, I'm ready to accept the responsibility.

07:13And then people are asking, hindi ka ba natatakot?

07:15Kasi nga, because of the allegations.

07:17And I'm like, no, kasi hindi yun yung treatment na na-feel ko din.

07:22Maybe it's her personal experience.

07:24Experience.

07:25Experience.

07:26And I don't have anything to say on that part.

07:29Kasi wala din naman ako nung time na maybe nung naiwan na siya doon

07:33or kung may mga pinag-uusapan sila, which is hindi na ako part nung istorya to talk about that.

07:38Okay.

07:39In hindsight, nung ikay naging Ms. Grant 2024, meron ka bang naranasan?

07:43Wala po.

07:44Wala po.

07:45Wala po.

07:46Kasi naalala ko sa Ms. India, that press conference.

07:48Sabi niya, I have nothing against CJ.

07:50Yes.

07:51You know, she has my support.

07:52Yes.

07:53But don't allow yourself to be targeted.

07:54Yes.

07:55Oo, naalala natin niya.

07:56Yes po.

07:57I saw the press conference.

07:58Actually, it was the time I was being crowned.

08:01Tama.

08:02At the same time.

08:03So nalaman ko na lang siya after I was crowned that there was already a press conference

08:07and people were tagging me already.

08:09But I'm with my family.

08:11I'm with my team.

08:12I'm with my family supporting me.

08:14The whole Philippines is backing me up also.

08:16And the whole Ms. Grant International is actually like really a family.

08:21So walang nangyaring yung mga allegations halibawa ng Ms. India.

08:25Okay.

08:26So I understand that.

08:27Nako, tayo naman, Emma.

08:28Ang dami natin pag-uusapan.

08:29Nako.

08:30Pero, you know, the common person in your life, in your lives, is Nawat.

08:35Diba?

08:36Mr. Nawat.

08:37I haven't met the great Mr. Nawat.

08:39No.

08:40But he's very, very controversial.

08:42Halimbawa, yung that very public confrontation he had, yung away nila ni Ms. Mexico.

08:47When that was happening, what were you feeling, Emma?

08:51Siguro po, what was I felt, nung nangyari po yun, nagtitiktok live ako, and I was supposed to watch the sashing ceremony.

09:01Dato sa sashing ceremony.

09:02Sashing ceremony.

09:03And nung nagtitiktok live ako, inopen ko yung YouTube.

09:07Pag open ko mismo nung YouTube, yun na yung scene.

09:10Sabi ko tuloy, while I was doing my makeup, sabi ko, hala, anong nangyayari?

09:15Sabi ko sa mga viewers ko.

09:17Tapos doon nila, chinachat na na may nag-walk out and all.

09:21So after that, hindi muna ako bumaba, nagtanong, kasi I know the feeling kung ano yung nangyayari na sa production and all.

09:31Parang bumaba na lang ako nung pinatawag na ako.

09:34Okay.

09:35Maligalig ba talaga siya?

09:37Diretsang tanong.

09:38Sinawat.

09:39When you say maligalig ito.

09:41You know, what we saw, he was fighting, you know, with, and then he was trying to explain about, you know, postings.

09:49That's one.

09:50Number two, you have to go, and then calling security.

09:53Diba?

09:54So that was the only behavior.

09:55I will not claim to know the guy because snippets lamang yun nung mga nakita.

10:00Pangalawa, the apology, that lacrimal apology nung siya'y umiiyak at hindi dumbhead but damaged, etc.

10:09Yes.

10:10So what kind of a person is he?

10:12He's like a father to us.

10:13He's like a father and he's very professional especially when it comes to business and work.

10:17Okay.

10:18So hindi siya yung mag-magulo na…

10:20No.

10:21No po.

10:22Okay.

10:23And he delegates very well.

10:24Organized.

10:25And the organization is really, hands down, pero very organized.

10:28Okay.

10:29So ang leksyon dito talaga, hindi natin pwede…

10:30We can't judge.

10:31Yes.

10:32Ang nakikita natin ay snippets lamang nung mga pangyayari.

10:35Yes po.

10:36What we see on social media, hindi natin pwede agad-agad paniwalaan.

10:39Tama.

10:40Hindi tayo pwede agad mag-commento.

10:41Because there are…

10:42There's always two sides.

10:43Yes.

10:44Tama.

10:45Oo.

10:46Now we get it.

10:47People also talked about, you know, that incident you…

10:49That encounter you had with a Filipino na nanunood.

10:52Ano yun?

10:53What is the story?

10:54Okay po.

10:55The story behind that, kasi medyo na-late po ako a few minutes.

10:59Kaya nakayuko po ako.

11:01Like whenever we watch cine po, di ba?

11:04Sa cinema, nakayuko tayo.

11:05Parang sign of respect na rin sa mga people behind us watching.

11:08Okay.

11:09So nag-start na po ang production number.

11:11Lumabas na yung ilang A's.

11:13And then I saw…

11:14Actually, tin-up ako nung guy po.

11:16Tin-up niya ko.

11:17Sabi niya,

11:18Hey! We're watching!

11:19So nag-gulat po ako.

11:20Kasi kung maayos po sa'yan yung pagkakasabi,

11:24parang magpapasori po talaga ako.

11:26Kasi ayoko naman din po makabother, makastorbo sa mga tao sa likod.

11:30Kasi it's Miss Universe.

11:31I understand po the excitement and all.

11:33Yung tapa, tapi, malakas.

11:35Pwede mong gawin sa'yo.

11:37Ah!

11:38Wanda!

11:39Basta po yun.

11:42Nakita po yun ng other Filipinos actually.

11:45Okay.

11:46Kinausap din po ako doon.

11:47Pero kunento ko na po yun sa TikTok ko.

11:49And okay na po ako.

11:51Ang gusto ko lang po sana eh,

11:53huwag na natin,

11:54kahit po hindi ako yun,

11:55kahit ibang tao,

11:56ibang nationality,

11:58sana kung may ganun po tayo,

12:00na-excite po tayo in a polite way.

12:02There's always a polite way po.

12:03Kasi yung-muyo ko ka na.

12:05I mean, you know,

12:06napaka-visual ika nga.

12:08Yung pagbigay-galang dahil ikay dumadaan.

12:11Mabilisan lamang.

12:12People are also talking about your presence

12:14and the pre-pageant activities of the Miss Universe.

12:17Yes po.

12:18What is Emma Tiglao doing there?

12:20To support the MGI po.

12:22Okay.

12:23Because MGI did the production for Miss Universe.

12:26And what I think was is the national director for Miss Universe Thailand.

12:31Yes.

12:32Okay.

12:33Ito diretsya.

12:34Kasi napag-usapan namin ito.

12:35Who's this?

12:36Atisa was here.

12:37Napag-usapan natin.

12:38Ang daming speculations.

12:40Kami, ako, naniniwala ako na Atisa should have won first runner-up sa Venezuela.

12:45Alam mo na yung contest.

12:46Kanya-kanya tayo.

12:47And then second runner-up, si Cote d'Ivoire.

12:51Cote d'Ivoire.

12:52Cote d'Ivoire.

12:53And then Thailand.

12:54And then Mexico.

12:55May mga naniniwala naman na baligtad yung announcement, etc.

13:00Ito diretsya.

13:01Naniniwala ba kayo?

13:02Hindi kayo naniniwala na may dayaan talagang nangyari?

13:05Siguro Tito, I will answer that.

13:07That I respect na lang po the organization of the budget.

13:11Okay.

13:12Gano'n na lang po siguro Tito.

13:13I understand.

13:14And the same goes with the decision of the judges.

13:17Since that was the result that was announced.

13:19So we have to respect that that was the person who they think shined during that day.

13:25Okay.

13:26And we have to celebrate one's winnings.

13:28We have to celebrate that.

13:29Yes.

13:30Because Mr. Omar.

13:31What's the family name of Omar?

13:32Carfush.

13:33Carfush.

13:34Yes.

13:35And then also Ms. Glibova.

13:37Natalie.

13:38Who said Natalie.

13:39Right.

13:40Walang auditing firm.

13:41Walang auditing.

13:42And then Omar was saying it was rigged.

13:44And then, ah, ang ating kaibigan Louie Areja was saying na nagkatinginan kami ng isang judge sa akin ang winner ko.

13:49Pero sinasabi ni Louie, I don't know how they voted.

13:52So in other words, maraming dahilan kung bakit nagespeculate ang mga tao na di umano'y posibleng na nagkaroon ng rigging.

13:59But I totally understand your point that, you know, there are six, seven, eight people judging the contest.

14:05Yes.

14:07So, ang hirap din ang buhay, no, ng pageantry.

14:09Super.

14:10Oo, it's not music.

14:11Iba.

14:12Pero ito ang tanong.

14:13May mga nagsasay, although you said that this is the ultimate, and this is the end of your, you know, of your pageantry journey,

14:19pero hindi ako naniniwala.

14:21Now some people are saying, si Jia, saka si Emma,

14:25shouldn't you go for the Miss universe Philippines so that you can represent the country in the Miss universe?

14:33Do you think that Ms. Universe is coming back to Ms. Universe?
