00:05:46Hello, Vicky.
00:05:47It's a pleasure to have you here in the show.
00:05:49Hello.
00:05:50Good afternoon, DJ.
00:05:51Thank you so much for having me.
00:05:53It's so good to be here.
00:05:54Finally here.
00:05:55Finally here.
00:05:56And maybe you'd like to greet your millions of followers.
00:05:59Wow.
00:06:00Millions.
00:06:02Hello.
00:06:32you have somebody
00:06:33who has a slash?
00:06:36Yes, I have a slash.
00:06:37I have a good one.
00:06:38Yeah.
00:06:39So in your journey,
00:06:41what to you is
00:06:42an empowered woman?
00:06:44Wow.
00:06:47I think when I was younger,
00:06:49Mangud,
00:06:50I always had the idea
00:06:52that me as a woman
00:06:54or as a little girl
00:06:56back then,
00:06:57I could only do one thing.
00:06:59Yes.
00:07:00Because, you know,
00:07:00I was,
00:07:02I grew up in a
00:07:03traditional Filipino household.
00:07:05So I was told
00:07:07to be a nurse.
00:07:08I was encouraged
00:07:10to be a nurse.
00:07:11Don't get me wrong.
00:07:13I was encouraged
00:07:14to be a nurse
00:07:15and to follow
00:07:16the footsteps of my mom.
00:07:17So I did that.
00:07:19I abided.
00:07:19And thankfully,
00:07:20I went to college
00:07:22and there were
00:07:23some expectations.
00:07:26Some people expected me
00:07:27to go abroad
00:07:28like my classmates.
00:07:30Which is typical.
00:07:31Yes.
00:07:31Which is a typical path
00:07:32that Filipinos take.
00:07:34Or some people
00:07:35even misunderstand
00:07:36when people take
00:07:37the medical domain.
00:07:41It's most likely
00:07:42this person
00:07:42is going abroad.
00:07:43Yeah.
00:07:44Yeah.
00:07:44And,
00:07:45but I went
00:07:46a different path.
00:07:47And it was not
00:07:49taken well
00:07:49at first.
00:07:51But I told myself,
00:07:53just go where
00:07:54your heart
00:07:55wants to be.
00:07:56And I think that
00:07:57that's what it means
00:07:58to be an empowered woman.
00:08:00To follow your heart
00:08:01and to do pursuits
00:08:03that bring joy
00:08:04and light
00:08:05into your life.
00:08:06And that took me
00:08:08a while
00:08:08to accept it.
00:08:09Because
00:08:09the part is
00:08:10that I'm insecure
00:08:12because I'm the
00:08:13people in Europe
00:08:14and the States.
00:08:15And here I am.
00:08:16A professional event host
00:08:18and then an actor
00:08:19the next.
00:08:19And then,
00:08:20what,
00:08:21a dancer the next?
00:08:22I do so many things.
00:08:24And I think
00:08:24that's what it means
00:08:25to be an empowered woman
00:08:26pursuing
00:08:27what brings joy
00:08:28to your life
00:08:29and being happy
00:08:30and accepting
00:08:31about it.
00:08:32And speaking of
00:08:35being multifaceted.
00:08:37So,
00:08:37you're a nurse,
00:08:38you're a singer,
00:08:39a host,
00:08:39an actor,
00:08:40a beauty queen.
00:08:42Which among
00:08:43these,
00:08:45shape you
00:08:46the most
00:08:47as a person?
00:08:48Wow,
00:08:48that's a very
00:08:49good question,
00:08:50DJ.
00:08:51I would say
00:08:55in terms of
00:08:56transforming
00:08:57who I am
00:08:58as a human
00:08:59holistically
00:09:00is me being
00:09:01a professional
00:09:02event host.
00:09:04Yeah,
00:09:04because
00:09:07my work
00:09:08as an event host,
00:09:09it would entail
00:09:09me to manage
00:09:10my time.
00:09:11And sometimes
00:09:12in a day,
00:09:13I would
00:09:14go to
00:09:15two events.
00:09:16So,
00:09:17I really have to
00:09:18manage my time
00:09:19really well.
00:09:19So,
00:09:19I have to wake up
00:09:20at this time
00:09:21and by this time
00:09:22I have to be there
00:09:22at the event
00:09:23and by this time
00:09:24I have to be
00:09:24on the next one.
00:09:25And I think
00:09:26doing that
00:09:27most of the time
00:09:29as an event host
00:09:31it has shaped me
00:09:32as a person
00:09:34who is flexible
00:09:35and who is
00:09:36self-disciplined.
00:09:38And by the way,
00:09:39correct me if I'm wrong,
00:09:40but you're also
00:09:41an introvert,
00:09:42no?
00:09:43Yes.
00:09:43How do you manage
00:09:44your energy?
00:09:45Especially that you
00:09:47manage also
00:09:48events,
00:09:49no?
00:09:49Oh,
00:09:49not just one
00:09:50but sometimes
00:09:51two in a day.
00:09:53Oh my gosh,
00:09:54I'm going to be
00:09:54a lot of people
00:09:59think that
00:10:00I'm an extrovert
00:10:01but honestly
00:10:03I'm a highly
00:10:04functional introvert
00:10:05I'd say.
00:10:07And
00:10:07there are times
00:10:08that
00:10:09I can over-stimulate
00:10:11when I'm
00:10:12in an event
00:10:14and I know
00:10:14that I do
00:10:15have to go
00:10:15to another event
00:10:16after this.
00:10:17So,
00:10:18what I do
00:10:18is
00:10:19after this event
00:10:21I ground myself.
00:10:22So,
00:10:23there's a time
00:10:23that I go
00:10:24to the comfort room
00:10:25I sit down
00:10:26in the cubicle
00:10:27and then I do
00:10:28breath work.
00:10:31I do that.
00:10:32I really take my time.
00:10:34Okay,
00:10:34Vic,
00:10:35you still have
00:10:36one event to go.
00:10:37Let's do this.
00:10:38And then I step out
00:10:39of the cubicle
00:10:39and then do my work.
00:10:41No,
00:10:42the reason why
00:10:42it's very helpful
00:10:43for our viewers
00:10:44because I'm also
00:10:45an introvert
00:10:45and yesterday
00:10:47we guested
00:10:48the president
00:10:48of Cebu Chamber of Commerce
00:10:49and he's also
00:10:50an introvert.
00:10:51So,
00:10:52I'd like also
00:10:52our viewers
00:10:53to,
00:10:54I think that was
00:10:55also what you said
00:10:56earlier,
00:10:57to put themselves
00:10:58in a box
00:10:59just because
00:11:00they're introverts
00:11:01because there are
00:11:01so many things
00:11:02that we also
00:11:03can do
00:11:04just like
00:11:05every person
00:11:06on earth.
00:11:08Yes,
00:11:08because you're
00:11:09going to be
00:11:09a stereotype
00:11:10being an introvert.
00:11:11They're always
00:11:12surprised.
00:11:12For example,
00:11:13for you on events,
00:11:13you're going to be
00:11:14Yes,
00:11:15you're going to be
00:11:16like,
00:11:17you're going to be
00:11:17introvert.
00:11:18You're going to be
00:11:47a lifestyle
00:11:49the authentic
00:11:52compassion
00:11:53that they bring
00:11:54into the job.
00:11:57So,
00:11:58what are your thoughts
00:11:59also about this
00:12:01and the purpose
00:12:02of asking that question
00:12:03so that we can
00:12:04move away
00:12:05from the
00:12:05transactional stuff
00:12:06that they are
00:12:07just doing it
00:12:08because there are
00:12:09opportunities abroad
00:12:10but there's really
00:12:11an inherent
00:12:13desire
00:12:14desire
00:12:14to care.
00:12:16So,
00:12:17what are my thoughts
00:12:17about that?
00:12:18Yes.
00:12:19I think
00:12:20it's not good
00:12:20to deny
00:12:21that
00:12:23we do hope
00:12:24for better
00:12:24opportunities
00:12:24for ourselves
00:12:25and
00:12:26as much
00:12:27as that
00:12:27is important
00:12:28it is just
00:12:29as important
00:12:29that we also
00:12:30never forget
00:12:31how do I say
00:12:32this
00:12:32the
00:12:32humanness
00:12:34of
00:12:36showing care
00:12:37to others
00:12:38whether you're
00:12:38a nurse
00:12:39or not.
00:12:40Now,
00:12:40in the context
00:12:40of being a nurse
00:12:41I think it's crucial
00:12:43because
00:12:44we do know
00:12:45that it is
00:12:46our responsibility
00:12:47to take care
00:12:48of the patient
00:12:49and I think
00:12:50it's important
00:12:51especially for
00:12:51student nurses
00:12:52who are watching
00:12:53hopefully
00:12:54never forget
00:12:55that as you
00:12:56deliver your job
00:12:57you would
00:12:58be reminded
00:12:59that
00:13:01the people
00:13:02that you
00:13:03encounter
00:13:03are so
00:13:04humans
00:13:05like you
00:13:06and
00:13:08the world
00:13:09is too harsh
00:13:10already
00:13:10and the
00:13:11little kindness
00:13:12goes a long
00:13:12way
00:13:13so
00:13:14I think
00:13:15you can
00:13:22have all
00:13:23the knowledge
00:13:24and the skills
00:13:25or you can
00:13:25work hard
00:13:26to have all
00:13:26credentials
00:13:27to work
00:13:27abroad
00:13:28but
00:13:29that's all
00:13:30transactional
00:13:31this is all
00:13:32data
00:13:33this is all
00:13:33technical
00:13:34information
00:13:35but what
00:13:36matters
00:13:36for you
00:13:37to go
00:13:37far
00:13:38and for you
00:13:38to last
00:13:39long
00:13:39in the
00:13:39career
00:13:40is to
00:13:40have
00:13:41empathy
00:13:41kindness
00:13:42and
00:13:43consideration
00:13:43no matter
00:13:44where you
00:13:44are
00:13:45in your
00:13:45field
00:13:46and
00:13:47this

00:17:37so
00:17:37fast
00:17:38let's
00:17:39start
00:17:39with
00:17:39Ann
00:17:40because
00:17:40you're
00:17:40from
00:17:41Mandawi
00:17:41and
00:17:42there
00:17:42are
00:17:42a lot
00:17:42of
00:17:42Cortez
00:17:43in
00:17:43Mandawi
00:17:46let's
00:17:47start
00:17:47with
00:17:47Ann
00:17:48Cortez
00:18:18Who is a public figure
00:18:19And that's kind of a risky thing to do
00:18:22If you think about it
00:18:23But here she is
00:18:25She has spoken not only for herself
00:18:27But for the next generation of women
00:18:29Who will come after her
00:18:30So it's beautiful
00:18:31What are your thoughts also?
00:18:33Because I think objectifying a person
00:18:35Also works either way
00:18:38It happens to a woman like Anne Curtis
00:18:40It also happens to men
00:18:42I see that a lot also in social media
00:18:45What do you think should we do differently
00:18:49In terms of the mindset
00:18:50So that we would not
00:18:53Carry it on?
00:18:54Yes
00:18:55I think it's very essential
00:19:00That we practice calling out
00:19:01The people around us
00:19:03As much as possible
00:19:04Ako personally, maglisod pa ko sa una
00:19:07Calling out people
00:19:08And I did try that
00:19:11Sa una ka nang
00:19:13I called out someone
00:19:16When they said something
00:19:18A lewd remark to me
00:19:19That was addressed to me
00:19:20And then I did it the next time
00:19:22I think just this year
00:19:23Pag February
00:19:25He was making a remark
00:19:26About someone on a wheelchair
00:19:29And I think that was very uncalled for
00:19:31Considering the setting
00:19:32We were in a pageant
00:19:34And I was the event host
00:19:36And all of the people knew
00:19:37I was a beauty queen
00:19:38And I was there right beside him
00:19:39When he said that remark
00:19:40So I called him out
00:19:40No, you shouldn't say that
00:19:42Regardless if it was a pageant or not
00:19:44You shouldn't say those kinds of things
00:19:45To people
00:19:46And so yeah
00:19:48I think that's
00:19:49A very simple thing
00:19:51That we can do
00:19:52Call out your friends nicely
00:19:53Hey, ka nang imunggiingon
00:19:55Kay dili na siya
00:19:56Maayo
00:19:57You shouldn't do that
00:19:58You shouldn't say that
00:19:59Para dili na siya
00:20:00Madala sa upad
00:20:01What about for men
00:20:04Unfortunately
00:20:04Who would blame it
00:20:07On how a woman
00:20:08Carries herself
00:20:10Or how a woman
00:20:11Presents herself
00:20:13What would be your thoughts
00:20:14About that also?
00:20:16Honestly
00:20:17No, matrigger ko
00:20:18Matrigger bitaw ko
00:20:19Inga na
00:20:19Like why would you question
00:20:21A woman
00:20:21Who just wants to dress up
00:20:23For themselves
00:20:24In the first place
00:20:25And the fact that
00:20:27These men
00:20:28Have these kinds of thoughts
00:20:29Just shows who they are
00:20:31As a person
00:20:31And who they are
00:20:32As a man
00:20:35If I'm not mistaken
00:20:46Wala sa lili ka nang
00:20:48Bad thoughts
00:20:49About the women
00:20:50And their tribe
00:20:51Because
00:20:52They all are
00:20:53They see each other
00:20:54As one
00:20:55So wala gali na nga
00:20:56Mga inga nga thoughts
00:20:57So if they can do that
00:20:58Then that means
00:21:00Some men
00:21:01Can definitely change
00:21:03Their mindsets as well
00:21:04On how they see
00:21:04Other women
00:21:05Regardless of what they wear
00:21:07Or how they present themselves
00:21:08And
00:21:09What I note this
00:21:10Man said good
00:21:12Some men
00:21:13Base their
00:21:15Display of respect
00:21:16Depending on how
00:21:18The woman looks like
00:21:19And that should not
00:21:20Be the case
00:21:21Respect is given
00:21:23To everyone
00:21:24So yes
00:21:25Regardless
00:21:26Regardless
00:21:27Regardless
00:21:27Of how they look like
00:21:28And their background
00:21:29And now let's move to
00:21:31A highly respected
00:21:32Leader
00:21:34And a woman
00:21:34And I think you already
00:21:35Saw her photo earlier
00:21:37Yes
00:21:38The first
00:21:39Woman
00:21:40President
00:21:40Of the Philippines
00:21:42Corazon Aquino
00:21:44One word
00:21:45Again
00:21:45Revolutionary
00:21:47Yeah
00:21:48She has caused
00:21:49A great movement
00:21:50And it has caused
00:21:51A great change
00:21:52In her country
00:21:53So I'm going to
00:21:55And what she did
00:21:57Has remained
00:21:57Relevant
00:21:58In history
00:21:59And has remained
00:22:00Relevant until today
00:22:01And I think
00:22:03It's pretty much
00:22:03The same
00:22:04With what I've said
00:22:05Earlier
00:22:05Nga
00:22:07What she did
00:22:08Has become
00:22:09A legacy
00:22:09That the future
00:22:11Generation
00:22:11Can still apply
00:22:13Today
00:22:14Regardless of
00:22:14Whoever sits
00:22:15In office
00:22:16Makita man na to
00:22:18Nga
00:22:18Okay if this woman
00:22:19Can do it
00:22:21I can do it
00:22:22I can do
00:22:22Or I can spark
00:22:23A good change
00:22:24For my country
00:22:25And for my fellow men
00:22:26Even in my small way
00:22:28I don't need to be
00:22:28A president
00:22:29So I think that's
00:22:30A very powerful
00:22:31Thing already
00:22:32And in one way
00:22:34Or the other
00:22:35She also broke
00:22:36The glass ceiling
00:22:38Because
00:22:38Yeah
00:22:39Because she's
00:22:39The first woman
00:22:40President
00:22:41And she was able
00:22:41To establish
00:22:42That a woman
00:22:44Can also
00:22:44Does a good job
00:22:46At not leading
00:22:46A country
00:22:47Though
00:22:48I forgot
00:22:48Who she is
00:22:49But
00:22:50I didn't know
00:22:51I can
00:22:51Ang Kwan
00:22:52But somebody said
00:22:53And she's
00:22:54A leader
00:22:54Also from the US
00:22:55A woman leader
00:22:56From the US
00:22:57That it's unfortunate
00:22:58That sometimes
00:22:59The very people
00:23:00Who also
00:23:01Create the ceiling
00:23:02Are also
00:23:04Women
00:23:04Themselves
00:23:05Do you agree
00:23:06With that?
00:23:08Ooh
00:23:10That's
00:23:10An interesting
00:23:11Correct me
00:23:12If I'm wrong
00:23:12And I'm not sure
00:23:13But it was Hillary Clinton
00:23:14Who said that
00:23:15Okay
00:23:16So she's an empowered woman
00:23:17Yeah
00:23:17Yeah
00:23:17She is
00:23:18Very well known
00:23:20That's a very interesting
00:23:22Thought
00:23:22I think that's
00:23:24The kind of thing
00:23:24That isn't spoken
00:23:26About much here
00:23:27In the Philippines
00:23:29I'd say
00:23:29This is just
00:23:30Based on my
00:23:30Observation
00:23:33I only get to
00:23:34Observe
00:23:35That in real life
00:23:37Especially when
00:23:38I'm in pageants
00:23:41It's a common
00:23:43Knowledge
00:23:43It's common knowledge
00:23:44Pageants
00:23:45It's a competition
00:23:46Naturally
00:23:48But
00:23:49More than anything
00:23:51Pageants are meant
00:23:52To empower women
00:23:53And the women
00:23:54Involved in that pageant
00:23:55Should also uplift
00:23:56Or empower
00:23:57Those around them
00:23:58But unfortunately
00:23:59I do sometimes see
00:24:01What Hillary Clinton
00:24:04Mentioned
00:24:04That there is
00:24:05A ceiling
00:24:06Created by
00:24:07Women
00:24:08Fellow women
00:24:09Yes
00:24:10So maybe
00:24:11That's why
00:24:12In retrospect
00:24:13I remembered
00:24:14I was naturally
00:24:16Inclined
00:24:16To
00:24:17Always mention
00:24:18Empathy
00:24:18When I do
00:24:20Ambush interviews
00:24:20When I joined
00:24:22Miss Universe Philippines
00:24:23In 2024
00:24:24I was naturally
00:24:25Inclined to remind
00:24:26The co-candidates
00:24:29I was with
00:24:29And then
00:24:30They would always
00:24:31Tell me
00:24:31Vic
00:24:32They would always
00:24:34Express that
00:24:35And
00:24:35It's heartwarming
00:24:37To know
00:24:37That
00:24:37In my own
00:24:38Little way
00:24:39I get to
00:24:40Instill that
00:24:41Into their hearts
00:24:41And minds
00:24:42Even though
00:24:43They're in a
00:24:44National pageant
00:24:44They're in
00:24:45Something that's
00:24:46Bigger than them
00:24:47They should still
00:24:48Remember the beauty
00:24:49Of a pageant
00:24:50And that is
00:24:50To uplift women
00:24:51And to be there
00:24:52For women
00:24:52So yeah
00:24:55I'm speechless
00:24:55Very good point
00:24:57Yeah
00:24:58Now another
00:24:59Another
00:25:00Lady
00:25:01President
00:25:02Of the
00:25:03Philippines
00:25:03Gloria
00:25:05Macapagal
00:25:05Arroyo
00:25:08Si
00:25:09Gloria
00:25:10Macapagal
00:25:11Arroyo
00:25:12She was very
00:25:13Controversial
00:25:14During her time
00:25:15Yes
00:25:15I just can't
00:25:17Imagine now
00:25:17In the context
00:25:18Of her being
00:25:18A woman
00:25:19I just can't
00:25:20Imagine
00:25:20How she
00:25:22Handled all
00:25:22That
00:25:23Being
00:25:24A lone
00:25:25Female
00:25:26President
00:25:26And handling
00:25:27Different issues
00:25:28Left and right
00:25:29I think
00:25:30She also
00:25:30Went through
00:25:32Yeah
00:25:33She did
00:25:36So that's
00:25:37Something
00:25:38If you look
00:25:38Beyond the issues
00:25:39Like seeing her
00:25:40As a woman
00:25:41Since we're
00:25:41Talking about
00:25:42Womanhood here
00:25:43I just can't
00:25:44Grasp around
00:25:45My mind
00:25:46How she was
00:25:46Able to
00:25:47Handle that
00:25:47So
00:25:49Ah sige
00:25:50My follow up
00:25:51Question
00:25:51I hope
00:25:52I will not
00:25:53Be into
00:25:53Trouble
00:25:53But
00:25:54I really
00:25:54Mean well
00:25:59Women
00:26:00Women
00:26:00Tend to be
00:26:01Stereotyped
00:26:02As emotional
00:26:03But I think
00:26:05GMA
00:26:05Is one of
00:26:06Those who
00:26:07Seem to be
00:26:08Who is able
00:26:09To hold
00:26:10Her own
00:26:11Amidst all
00:26:13The noise
00:26:14Around her
00:26:15Can you speak
00:26:16Also about
00:26:17So to push
00:26:18For that
00:26:19There are also
00:26:20Women
00:26:21Who are
00:26:23Maybe emotional
00:26:25But they can
00:26:26Hold their own
00:26:28In a difficult
00:26:30Time
00:26:30I really get
00:26:32You DJ
00:26:33Kay
00:26:33The thing
00:26:34That you
00:26:35Describe
00:26:37Actually
00:26:39That's what
00:26:39I also go
00:26:40Through
00:26:40Because I'm
00:26:41A very
00:26:41Emotional
00:26:41Person
00:26:42And
00:26:44It's really
00:26:45Difficult
00:26:45I would say
00:26:46Based on my
00:26:47Experience
00:26:48Being emotional
00:26:49And being able
00:26:50To stand
00:26:50Firm
00:26:51On my
00:26:52Ground
00:26:54But most
00:26:55Importantly
00:26:55Bitaw
00:26:57While
00:26:58I process
00:26:59Every emotion
00:27:00That I go
00:27:00Through
00:27:00During difficult
00:27:01Times
00:27:03The fact
00:27:04That I'm
00:27:04There
00:27:04Standing
00:27:05For myself
00:27:06And fighting
00:27:07For what
00:27:07I think
00:27:08Is right
00:27:09For myself
00:27:10Is what
00:27:12Matters
00:27:12The fact
00:27:12That I
00:27:13Showed up
00:27:13Even though
00:27:14I'm scared
00:27:14And
00:27:15I had a
00:27:20Colleague
00:27:21Who
00:27:21Said
00:27:22Ludvig
00:27:23Mark
00:27:23That was
00:27:23Addressed
00:27:24To me
00:27:24And
00:27:25At first
00:27:26Of course
00:27:28Emotions
00:27:28Took over
00:27:29I
00:27:29Did it
00:27:30I did it
00:27:37Scared
00:27:37I did it
00:27:38With
00:27:38Trembling
00:27:38Hands
00:27:39So
00:27:40I think
00:27:43The balance
00:27:44Of my
00:27:45Emotions
00:27:45And the
00:27:46Logical
00:27:46Side
00:27:47Which is
00:27:47To show
00:27:47Up
00:27:48And stand
00:27:49For
00:27:49Myself
00:27:51You just
00:27:52Simply
00:27:53Find it
00:27:53You just
00:27:54Simply
00:27:55Find it
00:27:55The moment
00:27:56When the
00:27:57Moment
00:27:57Calls for
00:27:58It
00:27:59I just
00:27:59Can't
00:28:00I can't
00:28:01I can't
00:28:03It can't
00:28:03It can't
00:28:03It can't
00:28:04It can't
00:28:04It can't
00:28:04It can't
00:28:04It can't
00:28:04It can't
00:28:05It can't
00:28:05It can't
00:28:09It's a matter
00:28:10Really
00:28:11Of balance
00:28:13I'm gonna
00:28:13Process
00:28:14What I
00:28:14Feel
00:28:14Now
00:28:14But I
00:28:15Just
00:28:15Can't
00:28:16Sulk
00:28:16Over
00:28:16This
00:28:17And stay
00:28:17Here
00:28:17And do
00:28:18Nothing
00:28:18I have
00:28:18To do
00:28:19Things
00:28:19For
00:28:19Myself
00:28:20And
00:28:20That's
00:28:20Where
00:28:20The
00:28:20Action
00:28:21Starts
00:28:21What
00:28:22About
00:28:22Sometimes
00:28:23These
00:28:24Are
00:28:24Said
00:28:26In
00:28:27When
00:28:28They
00:28:29Would
00:28:29Say
00:28:29Hormonal
00:28:31Imbalance
00:28:31Which
00:28:37Men
00:28:38Are
00:28:38Not
00:28:39Associated
00:28:40With
00:28:41I
00:28:43Would
00:28:44Hear
00:28:44That
00:28:44A lot
00:28:49Hormones
00:28:50I
00:28:51Think
00:28:53It's
00:28:53Important
00:28:54Mindful
00:28:55When
00:28:56We
00:28:56Point
00:28:57That
00:28:57Out
00:28:58Especially
00:28:58When
00:28:59A woman
00:28:59Is
00:28:59Emotional
00:29:03Emotions
00:29:04Are
00:29:04Raw
00:29:05Feelings
00:29:06It's
00:29:07Something
00:29:07That
00:29:07Is
00:29:07Felt
00:29:07Within
00:29:08Inside
00:29:08A
00:29:09Human
00:29:09Whether
00:29:09It's
00:29:10A
00:29:10Man
00:29:10Or
00:29:10A
00:29:10Woman
00:29:10So
00:29:11When
00:29:11A
00:29:11Woman
00:29:12Feels
00:29:12Okay
00:29:13I
00:29:13Feel
00:29:13This
00:29:14Way
00:29:14Yes
00:29:15The
00:29:16Hormones
00:29:16Can
00:29:16Affect
00:29:17It
00:29:17But
00:29:17It
00:29:17Does
00:29:18Not
00:29:18Affect
00:29:18The
00:29:18Totality
00:29:19Of
00:29:20That
00:29:20Emotion
00:29:21And
00:29:21The
00:29:21Cause
00:29:21Of
00:29:22That
00:29:22Emotion
00:29:22The
00:29:25Moment
00:29:26You
00:29:26Think
00:29:26It's
00:29:27It's
00:29:29That
00:29:33Triggered
00:29:33Me
00:29:33Or
00:29:34It
00:29:34Could
00:29:34Be
00:29:34A
00:29:34Childhood
00:29:35Wound
00:29:35That
00:29:35Has
00:29:36Been
00:29:36Unaddressed
00:29:36You

00:41:08Much
00:41:08The
00:41:08Same
00:41:08Thing
00:41:09Not
00:41:09The
00:41:09Same
00:41:17Because
00:41:21In
00:41:22The
00:41:22Context
00:41:23Of
00:41:23A
00:41:23Relationship

00:41:25Dynamic
00:41:25Of
00:41:25A
00:41:26Relationship
00:41:27It
00:41:28Really
00:41:28Boils
00:41:28Down
00:41:29To
00:41:30Awareness
00:41:31Of
00:41:31Each
00:41:31Other's
00:41:32Roles
00:41:32To
00:41:33The
00:41:33Society
00:41:33In
00:41:34The
00:41:34Context
00:41:35Of

00:41:44Has
00:41:44To
00:41:44Be
00:41:45At
00:41:45The

00:41:51Level
00:41:51Of
00:41:51Maturity
00:41:51I
00:41:52Think
00:41:52It
00:41:53Would
00:41:53Be
00:41:53Easier
00:41:53To
00:41:53Handle
00:41:54These
00:41:54Kinds
00:41:54Of
00:41:54Dynamics
00:41:55Or
00:41:55Paradigm
00:41:56And
00:41:56I
00:41:56Like
00:41:57Actually
00:41:57What
00:41:57You
00:41:57Pointed
00:41:58Earlier
00:41:58What
00:41:59We
00:41:59Just
00:41:59See
00:41:59Is
00:42:00The
00:42:00Surface
00:42:00The
00:42:01Important
00:42:01Thing
00:42:02Is
00:42:02The
00:42:02Conversation
00:42:03That
00:42:03Happened
00:42:04Between
00:42:04The
00:42:04Two
00:42:04That
00:42:05Got
00:42:05Them
00:42:06There
00:42:06Exactly
00:42:07The
00:42:08Next
00:42:08One
00:42:09Can
00:42:39Correct. That's my follow-up question.
00:42:42Yeah, she joined three times, right?
00:42:43If I'm a fan of you, I'm a fan of Filipinas.
00:42:46And look where it got her right now.
00:42:48There was a time also, correct me if I'm wrong,
00:42:52that she was judged for her body type.
00:42:58What are your thoughts also about people,
00:43:05it's not body shaming, but judging others for how they look.
00:43:11It's just because of how they look.
00:43:17And by the way, I've read when I was younger,
00:43:23there was a survey that was done by a reputable leadership magazine.
00:43:28So what they did was, the respondents were shown photos of random people.
00:43:35And then they were asked, who among them are most likely leaders?
00:43:41And you know the result?
00:43:43Majority of them picked the good-looking ones as leaders.
00:43:47They just assumed because of how they look.
00:43:50Yes.
00:43:51Oh, no, the physical appearance has an impact
00:43:54based on what you've mentioned, social experience.
00:43:56And I think she went through that because she was saying,
00:43:58oh, your body type is not for this.
00:44:03About people judging the physical appearance of others,
00:44:08that's something you can't control.
00:44:10It really took me a while to accept that.
00:44:13As soon as I became a public figure
00:44:17when I joined so many stuff,
00:44:20pageants and everything,
00:44:21it was a hard blow to me.
00:44:23I've read similar comments about how I look,
00:44:27how I'm wearing my face,
00:44:29and how I look.
00:44:31You can't control them.
00:44:34Always remember lang na
00:44:38the way you see yourself
00:44:40is what matters most.
00:44:42And being constantly aware of that
00:44:46is not easy.
00:44:47You have to be conscious and intentional
00:44:50with how you think about yourself
00:44:53and the way you see yourself.
00:44:55Because no matter what they say,
00:44:57no matter what they throw at you,
00:44:58especially on how you look,
00:45:00if you know yourself
00:45:01and the beauty that you hold,
00:45:03that will not matter.
00:45:05I know it sounds very cliche,
00:45:08but that's really true.
00:45:10Very true.
00:45:11Yeah.
00:45:11When you were saying that,
00:45:13I remember also what,
00:45:15I'm not an original artist,
00:45:16I've also read from somebody,
00:45:17and he actually said,
00:45:19that's the reason that our skull is solid.
00:45:23it's because nothing gets in
00:45:28unless we allow it to.
00:45:29Oh, that's beautiful.
00:45:31That's beautiful.
00:45:32That's really nice.
00:45:33That's really nice.
00:45:34That's a good thing to remember.
00:45:35I'm already a man, actually.
00:45:36You're not a man?
00:45:37Oh, yeah.
00:45:38So, you're already a man.
00:45:39I'm already a man.
00:45:39It's a man.
00:45:40That's a fortress.
00:45:42Yes.
00:45:43And you decide which thought
00:45:45or which voice should come in.
00:45:47Yes.
00:45:48And you know what,
00:45:48speaking about physical appearance,
00:45:50it took me a while to accept my girls.
00:45:52And being here in the Philippines,
00:45:54I would always end up
00:46:00putting my hair on a bun.
00:46:02And I'm just going to do it.
00:46:05Because I have accepted
00:46:06the way I look and who I am.
00:46:08Now, this one.
00:46:16Okay.
00:46:17This is Governor
00:46:18Pamela Baricuatro.
00:46:19Pamela Baricuatro.
00:46:23When she started
00:46:24Iahang Term,
00:46:26she was very visible
00:46:27by Iahang Term.
00:46:29Katongbag upagid
00:46:30siya nilingkod.
00:46:31She was very responsive,
00:46:33especially during the calamities
00:46:34and everything.
00:46:36And she is also
00:46:38outspoken
00:46:39of her thoughts.
00:46:41This is based also
00:46:41on my observation
00:46:42with her personal profile
00:46:44on Facebook.
00:46:46So, yeah.
00:46:46That's how I see her.
00:46:47outspoken and firm.
00:46:49What are your,
00:46:50not necessarily her,
00:46:51but for example,
00:46:54women in the audience
00:46:55who are,
00:46:57although not necessarily her,
00:46:59who are actually
00:47:00thrust in
00:47:01a responsibility
00:47:02that they did not
00:47:03originally
00:47:04planned.
00:47:06So, I'm asking
00:47:07this also
00:47:08in the context
00:47:09of,
00:47:10for example,
00:47:11I know somebody
00:47:12she was a
00:47:14plain housewife
00:47:16and then,
00:47:17so that means
00:47:18it was the husband
00:47:19who was providing
00:47:20for the family
00:47:21and then they had
00:47:23four kids
00:47:24na,
00:47:25Doremi na,
00:47:26kanang sunod?
00:47:27Oh, sunod yun.
00:47:28Doremi ba na?
00:47:28One, two, three.
00:47:30Doremi.
00:47:30Masa na nagsunod
00:47:32ang kids.
00:47:32Yeah, nagsunod.
00:47:32And then all of a sudden,
00:47:34the husband
00:47:34passed away.
00:47:36So,
00:47:37she became
00:47:38the breadwinner
00:47:39all of a sudden.
00:47:41Okay.
00:47:42And so,
00:47:43and then,
00:47:43so what are your thoughts
00:47:43also about
00:47:44kanang in Aniba
00:47:45and how they should
00:47:46process that
00:47:48so that they are able
00:47:48to get hold
00:47:49of the circumstance
00:47:50and seize
00:47:52that moment na yun.
00:47:54And then,
00:47:55sige na,
00:47:55if you don't mind,
00:47:56I asked her
00:47:57how she did that.
00:47:58And then she actually said
00:47:59na,
00:47:59I did not even have
00:48:00the time to mourn
00:48:02because it dawned
00:48:03on her yun.
00:48:04The moment
00:48:05the husband died,
00:48:06she looked at the kids
00:48:06and it's like,
00:48:07oh my goodness,
00:48:09I need to send them
00:48:10to school.
00:48:10Yes.
00:48:11I need to feed them.
00:48:12Yes, yes.
00:48:13I need to raise them.
00:48:14So she mourned
00:48:15later na,
00:48:16when they're finished na.
00:48:18Wow.
00:48:18But at the moment,
00:48:18she just set the emotion aside
00:48:20and let's do this.
00:48:21Yeah, yeah.
00:48:23It's hard for me
00:48:24to really like
00:48:26put my shoes
00:48:27into her situation
00:48:27because I don't have
00:48:29kids first
00:48:29and I have never
00:48:31been married.
00:48:32I haven't been in
00:48:33that kind of dynamic
00:48:34or relationship.
00:48:35But looking at her
00:48:36as a woman
00:48:36and hearing her story,
00:48:38I could really tell
00:48:39it wasn't easy.
00:48:40And
00:48:41the moment that she
00:48:43looked at her children
00:48:44and she said
00:48:45that no,
00:48:46I can't mourn,
00:48:46I think that was already
00:48:47the start of the
00:48:48mourning process.
00:48:50For me lang ha.
00:48:51I think that was
00:48:52the start already.
00:48:54She felt,
00:48:55because
00:48:57mourning or grief
00:48:58is non-linear,
00:48:59Mangud.
00:49:00It can still exist
00:49:01while you're still
00:49:01moving around.
00:49:03Yeah.
00:49:05But
00:49:06I admire her strength
00:49:07so much.
00:49:08It wasn't easy,
00:49:09especially if it's
00:49:10something,
00:49:11especially if you're
00:49:12put in a position
00:49:13that wasn't planned
00:49:14in the first place.
00:49:16So
00:49:16for women,
00:49:19your question was,
00:49:20unsa ako ang
00:49:21thoughts about it?
00:49:23Yeah.
00:49:24Or maybe,
00:49:25now that you were
00:49:26also saying it,
00:49:27I just remembered
00:49:28one of the
00:49:29remarks,
00:49:30di ba namay mga
00:49:31genetics,
00:49:31katong hormones,
00:49:32which unfortunately
00:49:33people would
00:49:34joke about it.
00:49:35But
00:49:35women though
00:49:36have the
00:49:37physical,
00:49:39samana siya,
00:49:39you're the medical
00:49:40person,
00:49:41physical composition
00:49:42that they can
00:49:43actually carry a
00:49:44child for nine
00:49:44months.
00:49:45So that in itself
00:49:46is already
00:49:47how ready they
00:49:48are.
00:49:49Ready they
00:49:49are.
00:49:50With
00:49:50circumstances,
00:49:51as stressful
00:49:53circumstances,
00:49:54built na kayang
00:49:54body of a
00:49:55woman for that.
00:49:57Koan,
00:49:59especially for
00:50:00these kind of
00:50:01women,
00:50:01bitaw,
00:50:04di li mang ito
00:50:05kaingun,
00:50:05mangod,
00:50:05sa unsay,
00:50:06mahitabo
00:50:07in the next
00:50:08few years.
00:50:10So pareha sa iyang
00:50:10situation.
00:50:12And I
00:50:13think that
00:50:14proves that
00:50:15women are
00:50:16really capable
00:50:17of doing
00:50:18anything as
00:50:19long as
00:50:20we set our
00:50:21mind and
00:50:22heart to
00:50:22it.
00:50:23And the
00:50:24story that
00:50:24you told me
00:50:25about her
00:50:25katong imohang
00:50:26kaila,
00:50:27that's proof
00:50:28as well.
00:50:29She was
00:50:30grieving at
00:50:31the same time
00:50:31feeding her
00:50:32kids,
00:50:32bringing them
00:50:33to school.
00:50:33And she
00:50:33didn't have
00:50:33a job.
00:50:34Wow,
00:50:35see?
00:50:35And she
00:50:36was able to
00:50:36manage all
00:50:37of that.
00:50:38And just
00:50:38imagine,
00:50:39a woman
00:50:40who has
00:50:41about three
00:50:42or four
00:50:42children,
00:50:43and while
00:50:43also dealing
00:50:44with her
00:50:44emotions,
00:50:45just imagine
00:50:45also as
00:50:46well,
00:50:46a woman
00:50:47who was
00:50:47also going
00:50:48through her
00:50:48period while
00:50:49on the
00:50:50skating rink.
00:50:51Well,
00:50:52we have all
00:50:52heard of that.
00:50:53Yeah,
00:50:54gymnastics.
00:50:54And she
00:50:54was very
00:50:55open about
00:50:56it.
00:50:56And I
00:50:56think that's
00:50:58the beauty
00:50:59of having
00:51:00a platform
00:51:01like this.
00:51:02We get
00:51:02to articulate
00:51:05experiences
00:51:06like this
00:51:06one that
00:51:07what we
00:51:08go through
00:51:08isn't easy,
00:51:09but we
00:51:09still show
00:51:10up.
00:51:11And that's
00:51:12the beauty
00:51:12of being
00:51:12a woman.
00:51:13And rather
00:51:13than seeing
00:51:15it,
00:51:16unfortunately,
00:51:17as a
00:51:18disadvantage,
00:51:18it's in
00:51:19fact a
00:51:20point to
00:51:21admire.
00:51:21Yes.
00:51:22Oppo.
00:51:23Oppo.
00:51:24Oppo.
00:51:25But at the
00:51:25same time,
00:51:26it's a brand
00:51:26of selfie.
00:51:28But at the
00:51:29same time,
00:51:29DJ,
00:51:30I think it's
00:51:30also important
00:51:31to acknowledge
00:51:32that we put
00:51:33so much high
00:51:34expectations on
00:51:35women.
00:51:36And to
00:51:37women who
00:51:37are going
00:51:38through the
00:51:38similar
00:51:39experience,
00:51:40the same
00:51:40with your
00:51:41friend,
00:51:43they have
00:51:43undergone
00:51:44circumstances
00:51:45that are so
00:51:45stressful and
00:51:46they do it
00:51:46all alone,
00:51:48it's okay
00:51:49to ask for
00:51:49help.
00:51:50Okay?
00:51:53You are
00:51:53not a
00:51:54failure as
00:51:54a person
00:51:55and as a
00:51:55woman.
00:51:55If you feel
00:51:56like you're
00:51:56drowning with
00:51:57so much
00:51:57things to
00:51:58do,
00:51:59you're
00:51:59alone with
00:52:00a lot of
00:52:00responsibilities,
00:52:01it's okay
00:52:02to ask for
00:52:02help.
00:52:03You're not
00:52:03a failure
00:52:03as a
00:52:03woman.
00:52:04And it's
00:52:05important that
00:52:05I say
00:52:06that.
00:52:07Especially if
00:52:10you're a
00:52:10woman,
00:52:10especially
00:52:11stereotypes
00:52:12are still
00:52:12rampant.
00:52:13like,
00:52:14you're
00:52:14like,
00:52:14you're
00:52:15going to
00:52:16to
00:52:16help.
00:52:17No.
00:52:18No.
00:52:19It's okay
00:52:20for you to
00:52:20ask him.
00:52:21I think we'll
00:52:22just skip the
00:52:23rest of the
00:52:24photos.
00:52:37Move
00:52:40up.
00:52:53Hi, I'm
00:52:54emotional.
00:52:55So sorry.
00:52:57Yeah, that's
00:52:58my mom.
00:53:01She's my
00:53:02namesake.
00:53:04Victoria.
00:53:06She was a
00:53:08registered nurse
00:53:09before.
00:53:11She fought
00:53:13the battle
00:53:13of cancer.
00:53:17She fought
00:53:19that battle
00:53:20for quite
00:53:21some time.
00:53:22And
00:53:22unfortunately,
00:53:24she passed
00:53:25away when
00:53:26I was three
00:53:26years old.
00:53:34my aunt
00:53:35shared
00:53:35her personal
00:53:38experiences as
00:53:39a woman.
00:53:39I've known
00:53:40some details
00:53:42about it.
00:53:43And what
00:53:44she went
00:53:44through wasn't
00:53:45an easy one.
00:53:47And that's
00:53:48why I admire
00:53:49her so much.
00:53:50She's also
00:53:51a woman so
00:53:52full of
00:53:53thoughts.
00:53:53She thinks
00:53:53a lot.
00:53:54I even have
00:53:54her journal.
00:53:55Yeah.
00:53:58I would
00:53:58assume she
00:53:59also writes
00:54:00very well
00:54:00like you.
00:54:01Yeah, she
00:54:01does.
00:54:02She thinks
00:54:03a lot.
00:54:04And you
00:54:05know, she's
00:54:05a typical
00:54:05woman.
00:54:07I feel
00:54:08like this.
00:54:09Really?
00:54:11Yeah.
00:54:12And she
00:54:13loves writing
00:54:13quotes and
00:54:14she loves
00:54:15writing and
00:54:16greeting cards,
00:54:17which is
00:54:18exactly what
00:54:18I also love
00:54:19doing.
00:54:20I also love
00:54:20journaling.
00:54:21So she
00:54:24is such
00:54:25an inspiration
00:54:26to me even
00:54:27until now
00:54:27that I
00:54:29know it's
00:54:29so weird
00:54:29that there
00:54:30are times
00:54:30I even
00:54:30talk to
00:54:31her in
00:54:32my mind.
00:54:32Mommy,
00:54:33this is what
00:54:33I'm doing
00:54:34now.
00:54:34I hope
00:54:35you're
00:54:35happy.
00:54:35I hope
00:54:35you're
00:54:36proud.
00:54:36Yeah.
00:54:39But if
00:54:39there's
00:54:40something that
00:54:40I captured
00:54:41with what
00:54:41you said,
00:54:41I'm also
00:54:42glad that
00:54:43she had
00:54:44enough
00:54:45opportunity
00:54:46to get
00:54:47to write
00:54:47her thoughts
00:54:48because even
00:54:49if she was
00:54:50already gone
00:54:51when you were
00:54:51three,
00:54:52but you
00:54:53somehow are
00:54:53able to get
00:54:54to know her
00:54:55in an
00:54:55intimate
00:54:56way.
00:54:57Yes.
00:54:58That's what
00:54:58I really
00:54:59love.
00:54:59And it's
00:55:00so funny
00:55:00because the
00:55:01journal
00:55:02is in
00:55:02your
00:55:03quarto
00:55:04and I
00:55:05didn't
00:55:05want to
00:55:06stop it
00:55:06because it
00:55:06was just
00:55:06in between
00:55:07my books.
00:55:08And it
00:55:09just so
00:55:09happened
