00:04Okay, another controversy about Miss Universe Philippines, the host, Marina Summers.
00:12Your take on the way she hosted the pageant.
00:15She was nothing but professional and really stuck to the script of what Miss Universe Philippines expected of her.
00:23And I really wanted to take a moment to commend that this was such a history-defining moment.
00:28Because Miss Universe Philippines is not only a pageant, it's a cultural institution here in the Philippines.
00:35And the fact that a trans woman was able to host with such beauty and grace...
00:40She'd be celebrated.
00:41...is a celebration for all of our trans brothers and sisters, especially for me as a proud younger sister of
00:47a trans older brother.
00:48Okay. I'd like to take this opportunity, Naitay Kapuso, to also make my statement.
00:53I found Marina Summers good. Actually very good.
00:58One to ten, I'd give her an 8.5. I mean, 1.5 short of being perfect.
01:03I like the idea that she did it the way she wanted to do it.
01:07Her energy was just right, higher than Olivia Culpo, the first time Olivia hosted Miss Universe.
01:12What I liked about her was she didn't fall into the trap of doing the hosting chore for Miss Universe
01:22Philippines the way others would have done it.
01:26I'm not saying that the way others do it is wrong.
01:29But what's so beautiful for me is that she didn't scream, she didn't host it like a boxing match, she
01:39didn't host it like a mixed martial arts championship, she didn't host it like a game show.
01:44She did it the way she wanted to do it. She did the Q&A very well, you know, and
01:50I just love the idea that a trans woman hosted Miss Universe Philippines that, you know, I agree with you,
02:00that cost for a celebration.
02:02So she did very well in my book. And this is an opinion.
02:06At ang maganda ho dito, may mga opinion ng iba, may opinion ho kami, let's not fight, you know, let's
02:11hear each other.
02:12Other more, let's elevate this conversation into how things should be done.
02:16Pero hindi dahil sa hindi siya sumigaw, kasi may mga, you know, in previous video contests, not just Miss Universe
02:23Philippines.
02:23For example, when you top 12, you know, you say, okay, let's start announcing the top 12 or top 10.
02:32First in the top 10 list is, let's say number 16. Number 16! You know, it's okay to others.
02:41Marina decided to say, raised her level of energy a bit, number 16. And I found it really interesting.
02:53You know, it's okay to others.
03:36You know, it's okay to others.
03:40You know, it's okay to others.
03:41You know, it's okay to others.
03:42You know, it's okay to others.
03:42You know, it's okay to others.
03:42You know, it's okay to others.
03:42You know, it's okay to others.
03:43You know, it's okay to others.
03:43You know, it's okay to others.
03:45You know, it's okay to others.
03:46You know, it's okay to others.
03:47You know, it's okay to others.
