00:00How do you handle yung, siyempre, every time may mananalo, meron parang palaging different opinions about bakit ikaw yung nanalo,
00:08ganyan.
00:09And for this one, you experience it as well.
00:14Ano yung, paano mo na siya hinahandle ngayon?
00:18Ako, I see it differently, like more in a positive way.
00:23Kasi, I mean, for me, I'm aware naman pressure will always be there.
00:27But I consider mine as a good pressure because, first of all, you know, like we've already set a standard
00:34sa Miss Grand International.
00:36So it means that we just really have to maintain it.
00:38And knowing myself that I really love to perform on stage, I just really want to enjoy the whole show.
00:44And I've had experience before kasi na parang hindi ko masyado na enjoy yung previous pageant ko just because I
00:52wanted to win.
00:53And at the same time, I was so pressured about the result kasi nga, di ba, parang sasabi na, oh,
00:58you know, there was a prototype, ganyan, ganyan.
01:01So I had to fit myself into a certain mold or standard that was not really me, to be honest.
01:09And parang I was trying to please people by trying to secure at least to be in the top five,
01:16ganyan.
01:17And na-realize ko when I got back here in the Philippines, ay, hindi ko pala na-enjoy yung journey
01:22ko.
01:22Like I didn't take too much photos and videos sa mga candidates.
01:26Hindi ako masyadong, alam mo yun, parang wala lang masyadong moments along with my fellow candidates.
01:32And then that's what I want to change here in Miss Grant International.
01:36I really want to create beautiful memories along with my sisters, Miss Grant, and to really just enjoy the whole
01:43journey.
01:43You know, I mean, of course, I still want to do my 200% best.
01:48But, you know, like we should always remember that, you know, in life, minsan panalo ka, minsan talo ka, you
01:54know.
01:55But it's really the journey that matters.
01:56And in the end of the day, you know, yes, I want to win, of course, for Papa Jojo as
02:02well.
02:03For the Philippines.
02:03Yes, oo naman.
02:05But, you know, like we have to be realistic about it that success is really not guaranteed.
02:11The least thing that we can do is to just really manifest and pray really hard and do the best
02:15that we can for the journey itself, diba?
02:17For me, no expectation at all.
02:19I'm just really gonna enjoy everything and do my best.
02:22Babaklayin natin ang Miss Grant International.
02:25Yes, as expected of Angelica.
02:27Kasi doon ka din naman nakilala sa, ano eh, agganong atake.
02:30Oo, enjoy lang talaga and more and more energy.
02:32Bawal mapagod.
02:33Yan ang rule dito.
