00:00I think this time around it just means so much more I think so much more went
00:15into this round I knew it was at stake I knew my competitors who I was going up
00:19against her all I wanted to do is hit a clean vault and then we hit the clean
00:23vault and it took us forever to get the results I was kind of chasing around the
00:27arena trying to figure out what our final scores was because we weren't really sure
00:31so I'm a bit emotional still it's just finally setting settling in because it
00:36really didn't hit me until we got a phone to the podium to where they
00:39officially announced it but I'm just so overjoyed and just so thankful for all
00:43the support and I'm just I'm just so happy during the long way I really I was I
00:54satisfied however the competition you know however the scores fell but I was a
00:59bit nervous because the score they accidentally flashed a wrong score like
01:03just for a second on the screen and so you know I looked at my coach and we were
01:07talking to the judges and we weren't really sure like how they got that score
01:10because the scores that we originally saw were different so then you know we're
01:14still just trying to calculating so much math we're thankful for our Philippine
01:18judges and we're thankful for you know all the staff that we're making sure that
01:21okay this is the final score and this is you know the correct order and it was a
01:26bit confusing and very stressful but ultimately at the end I'm very thankful
01:30for that outcome tomorrow I will be heading into the balance beam final and I'm
01:36really excited for the beam because I think my difficulty is up there to really
01:40compete with the rest of Southeast Asia here and I think I'm really excited
01:43going in there it's our last event and I'm just really to especially after
01:48today having this really just gives the extra motivation going into tomorrow's
01:52finals just after today's today's results winning the gold medal extra
01:57motivation going into tomorrow's beam final next hopefully some downtime I think
02:03following world championships and then obviously going all gas no brakes going
02:08into the Southeast Asian games I'm looking forward to some downtime a bit and
02:11then looking ahead potentially Asian championships and then following the
02:15world championships for 2026 as well but again just how we take every
02:19competition we just take it one competition at a time so nothing set in
02:22its own but definitely looking ahead to next year so this is actually the first
02:26competition that women's gymnastics has been in the sea games since I last
02:30competed at Vietnam so the last time that it was female gymnastics you know I
02:35knew that I had one gold and so going into this I knew what I was capable of
02:39doing but I also knew that there was plenty of competition going out I mean the
02:43scores were so tight it was I think a half a tenth going in from first and
02:47second like it was so close and so I knew that going into this competition but I
02:52also knew that just you know doing my normal just doing what I do every single
02:55day and ultimately ended up okay I think today is the most special one because
03:01there's just been so much change that has happened especially me being in the
03:10Philippines from August up until now my grandmother had passed away I moved to a
03:15different country figuring out so many news having some also personal issues that
03:21go on to behind the scenes and so knowing what happens behind the scenes knowing that
03:27I still persevered through all of the hardships like I sat there before my
03:33vault and I was just praying the whole time I said Jesus be with me on this
03:36fault because you know I I'm nothing without Jesus and so I knew that he was
03:40with me the entire time through and I just I give all the glory to God
04:06you
