00:00Thank you so much for joining us.
00:31Thank you so much for joining us today, Mrs. Pacific Ocean Worldwide 2026 at Philippine representative
00:38sa Mrs. Worldwide 2026, si Ma'am Maria Deleuze Casco, Baluba.
00:44Ma'am Del, hello!
00:46Good morning!
00:47Si Ma'am Del, ang ganda!
00:49Thank you so much.
00:49Ava, akalain mo yung teacher, coach na sa tennis, at ngayon, beauty queen!
00:55So well-rounded!
00:56And a mummy!
00:57Correct!
00:58So bago natin pag-usapan yung pageant journey mo, kilala ka rin bilang isang teacher nga po, no?
01:03And sports leader.
01:04Paano po nakakasabay ang mga role na ito?
01:07Bago minamanage.
01:09Alam niyo po, bilang isang mother, I think parang ano na eh?
01:13Ineat na?
01:14Alam niyo, na yung pagiging ano mo, yung punta ka mag-uhugas ng plato, di ba?
01:21And then multitasking.
01:22Yes, multitasking.
01:24So I guess it's just a matter of time management.
01:27Time management.
01:28Well, you are now a beauty queen.
01:30You said it was a funny dream before.
01:32And now you are representing the Philippines.
01:34How does that feel?
01:36In reality, I haven't yet observed that,
01:40oh, Mrs. Worldwide can again.
01:44But actually, to be honest with you all,
01:47I am standing here.
01:48Hindi para po talaga sa sarili ko.
01:50Kaya ako sumali talaga because
01:52I wanted to represent those women who has been abused.
01:56Yun po talaga yung naging inspiration ko.
01:59And I was praying na sabi ko,
02:01Lord, bigyan niyo po ako ng reason, platform,
02:04so that I could help them also.
02:06And then biglang nakita ko po itong,
02:09Mrs. Asia-Pacific.
02:11Mrs. Philippines, Asia-Pacific.
02:13And then sabi po ng anak ko,
02:14mahasali ka dyan.
02:15And then yun.
02:17Siya pa ang nag-encourage talaga sa'yo.
02:19Yes, kasi siya po talaga yung sumasali sa beauty pageant.
02:22And I was her coach.
02:24Ngayon, sabi niya sa'kin,
02:25ma, bakit hindi ka sumali para malaman mo kung anong hirap?
02:29And then ayun, na-challenge ako.
02:31And then, ayun na, tuloy-tuloy na siya.
02:33It's really now or never, no?
02:35So, nakaka-proud nga naman.
02:36How does it feel that you will be now representing the country?
02:40Of course, I'm very proud because not everyone are given the opportunity to represent our country, di ba?
02:47So, yun.
02:48At saka long time dream ko naman na siya when I was a student athlete before.
02:52Kaya lang talaga, hindi ko na talaga inakalang magkakatotoo pa siya.
02:56I'm already 46 years old.
02:58I am a mother of three.
03:00So, wala na talaga eh.
03:02Hindi ko na siya ina-expect.
03:04Pero thankful po ako sobra.
03:06And now you're here.
03:07And really, there's a reason why you are here.
03:09Para sa iyong advocacy at saka sa iyong message.
03:12So, papaano makakasuporta ang ating mga kababayan sa iyong journey na ito?
03:16Ayan.
03:17So, first of all, I would like to say thank you, RSP,
03:21for giving me the opportunity to sabihin yung ating,
03:26or ipakilala yung Mrs. Worldwide po.
03:30Sana po supportahan ninyo po ang ating Mrs. Philippines.
03:34We will be representing the Philippines sa Singapore po by October 27.
03:39Sana po iboto po ninyo ang ating po Philippines
03:44through Lumiere International.com po.
03:48So, the coordination will be...
03:51That will be on October 27 po sa Singapore.
03:56And last...
03:57Oh yeah, for sure.
03:59Lastly, bilang isang mom, may mensahe po kayo para sa mga mommies out there
04:03na minsan ay nauna ang pangarap ng pamilya.
04:06Bago ang sarili na lang mga pangarap.
04:08So, what can you advise them?
04:11So, for all the mommies out there na nangangarap until now,
04:15I think, lahat po tayo ay nagdadaan sa hirap,
04:20minsan nadada pa, nagkakamalib.
04:22Which, ako rin naranasan ko po yun.
04:25So, don't lose hope.
04:27Kasi, God will always give you kung yan ay para talaga po sa inyo.
04:32So, kung madapa ka man, masaktan ka man,
04:35hindi man magkatotoo yung iyong pangarap ngayon.
04:39Pero, darating din yung time if it's really for you.
04:43And, siguro po, tatapusin ko po itong sinasabi ko na
04:46it doesn't matter how many times you fall.
04:49What matters most is how many times you stand up.
04:52So, yun lang po.
04:53And that's very true.
04:54Alam mo, si Teacher Del.
04:56Teacher rin siya ng mga kasamahan natin ito sa PTV.
04:59Oh wow.
04:59Ni Mark at saka ni Cha.
05:00Yeah.
05:01And now, you're also teaching naman sa Senior High School
05:03ng English and Filipino.
05:05Well, good luck po, Teacher Del.
05:07And we wish you all the best on your journey
05:09sa Misses Worldwide.
05:11And bring home the crown.
05:12Good luck.
