00:00Many Filipinos are getting frustrated with the country.
00:04For you, why is it still worth it to represent the Philippines on the global stage?
00:12I grew up with an OFW mother and my father a security guard.
00:19With this, I learned to be independent.
00:22So, as a representative of the Philippines in the international stage,
00:26I will bring this story that inspires and I will speak up to other people.
00:34And I believe this independency molded me as an empowered Filipina.
00:39Because an empowered Filipina has the light that empowers and forces the universe.
00:45Thank you so much.
00:47Thank you so much, Ms. Tarlac.
