00:14We want ladies that can really represent Padian as a breathtaking destination, despite of the things that happened last year
00:24with all the challenges that we had.
00:26So the very first criteria that we are choosing is a resilient woman that will represent, despite of the challenges
00:39that they have been facing all throughout their life, they can still stand and represent as a perfect woman.
00:46Not literally perfect perfect, but that can really represent Padian as a community that embodies not only a breathtaking destination,
00:58but a welcoming vibe to everyone.
01:02So for the record, we were awarded for the pageantry board as also the most popular and most viewed pageant
01:12in 2025.
01:14And a lot didn't expect that thing to happen, because we were doing it silently, working it silently.
01:21We were very humble at that moment.
01:24And it was the first time when we put a very big, big pageant outdoor.
01:33It was an outdoor pageant.
01:35I think that it was successful due to the challenges of the weather along the way.
01:42So it was really successful and this year with Padian, there were already production plans were laid out.
01:51Planning were already being started and this year is, I should not preempt the excitement, but there are a lot
02:04of things that will happen.
02:12I have a lot of things that are coming out of the time, I think it's a good job too.
02:20He's like, I mean, this is a great job.
02:39He's a great job.
03:05Opportunities and everything, and to the 16 loving candidates, oh my goodness, congratulations
03:11for reaching this far. This is the first part that's in your journey, and I hope you guys are going
03:16to enjoy it because there will be a lot of activities.
03:19So please prepare yourselves physically, mentally, and emotionally.
03:24To the universe, and to every people watching here, know that you can do it.
03:30Because I share a little bit of the story of what women struggle in reading pageants.
03:35As you can see, I am not to be considered as one of the fittest candidates because of my body
03:43weight.
03:43And I know that because I have heard some people talk about it.
03:48Because people have known me from my last pageant, Miss City of Talisai 2024.
03:54And when they saw me, they only saw a woman who lacks discipline or is lazy.
04:00But I want to share to everyone a struggle that I have been facing with my body.
04:05I live with scoliosis, which limits me to move.
04:10And that also is the reason of my weight fluctuation.
04:15And actually, I was supposed to join Miss Gut Yen last year, but I had no confidence because of my
04:20weight fluctuation
04:21caused by my physical condition.
04:23However, along the way of the year, for a year, I prepared myself.
04:31I told myself, should I really stop dreaming just because of a physical condition?
04:36The same condition Miss Katriongna had, and she won Miss Universe.
04:41And so I used that as an inspiration so that I can move on.
04:46And then I started slow.
04:48I started walking one mile a day, and then the next day, two miles, and then so on and so
04:54on.
04:54And I'm proud to say that I have lost a few pounds now.
04:59And...
05:27I don't know.
05:31I really hold it.
05:32You
