00:06ang responsibilidad bilang representative ng Lusod na Maynila
00:09sa darating ng Ms. Universe Philippines 2026.
00:12Nito lamang nakaraang biyernes,
00:14official na pinakalala sa media at sinagawa
00:15ang intimate sashing and crowning ceremony
00:18kay Justin bilang Ms. Universe Philippines Manila 2026.
00:22Ayon kay Justin,
00:24ang first pageant na kanyang sinalihan ay Ms. Manila
00:26dahil diyan ay masahit honored siya
00:28na ipagpatuloy ang kanyang pageant journey
00:30bilang representative ng Lusod kung saan siya nagsimula.
00:3512 years ago, Manila was the city that gave me a chance
00:40in the pageant stage.
00:42It's where I discovered my voice, my strength,
00:45and the woman I could become.
00:47So as I step into the pageant stage in Ms. Universe Philippines,
00:52I want to elevate my purpose
00:54and be more confident in who I am
00:57and I think that's why I took such a long break
00:59because I wanted to know that when I join again
01:02that I'm confident and rooted in my purpose.
01:04E binagpapatuloy pa rin ni Justin na matagal na niyang adbukasya
01:08para sa overseas Filipino workers o OFWs.
01:12Pero sa ngayon, pinagtutuunan niya rin ang pansin
01:15ng kanyang isa pang advocacy na magkaroon
01:17accessible and equitable healthcare services
01:19sa bawat Pilipino.
01:21Si Justin ay hindi na newbie sa mundo ng pageantry.
01:25Maliban sa Ms. Manila noong 2014,
01:27lumaban din siya sa Binibini Pilipinas noong 2021.
01:30First runner-up naman siya sa Ms. Tourism World 2022.
01:34Kinurunahan rin siya bilang Ms. World Philippines Tourism 2022
01:39at siya rin ang female division winner
01:41sa fitness competition ng isang tuna brand.
01:44Sa ilang taong experience sa pageantry
01:46ng 31-year-old na licensed medical esthetician,
01:50professional model at entrepreneur,
01:52ito ang kanyang naging sagot
01:53nang siya itanungin
01:54kung bakit nga siya ang susunod na koronahan
01:56o dapat koronahan
01:57bilang Ms. Universe Philippines.
02:01I am a woman of determination
02:04and a modern Filipina
02:05who builds, who serves,
02:08and who has a strong purpose
02:09that's rooted in service.
02:11And the Ms. Universe organization
02:12is looking for core values
02:14like empowerment, leadership, and impact.
02:17And in the time that I was away from pageantry,
02:20I have grown into that woman
02:21to learn all those attributes
02:23and make sure that I take this responsibility seriously
02:26to make sure that I encourage others
02:28to pursue their dreams as a leader
02:30to be impactful in their purpose.
02:32And now that I've found my purpose and my voice,
02:35I want to show the universe
02:36that once a Filipina stands in her purpose,
02:39the universe cannot ignore.
