00:00Ang pagiging beauty queen, hindi lang po tungkol yan sa corona at ganda,
00:04kundi ito rin ay tungkol sa tapang confidence at sa pag-represent ng ating bansa.
00:09Tama ka dyan, Diane. Isa ka na rin sa nagpatunay niya.
00:12At ngayong umaga, makasama natin ang mga dating kandidata ng Muncha ng Pilipinas
00:16na patuloy na nagdiningning sa international stage at magbibigay ng advice sa mga kandidata.
00:22Ngayong taon, yan ay si Christina and si Andrea.
00:26Good morning girls. Welcome sa Rise and Shine Pilipinas.
00:28Good morning.
00:30Good morning boys. So these are the reigning queens na magpapasa ng kanilang crown and titan.
00:35And also, I would just like to congratulate Miss Follow Universe 2026, Andrea.
00:39Thank you so much, Editha.
00:40Pero I will allow you to introduce yourself with your title. Sige, go ahead.
00:45Hello everyone. Good morning.
00:47Ako po si Christina Van Heflin, Miss Intercontinental, Power of Beauty 2025.
00:53Good morning Pilipinas, Rise and Shine.
00:56This is Andrea Ndisho, your newly crowned Miss Follow Universe 2026.
01:01Congratulations.
01:02Congratulations.
01:03Thank you so much.
01:05Saan ka ulit nag-compete?
01:07I competed in Dubai.
01:08Actually, I just came back a few days ago po for the Coronation Night of Mutianang Pilipinas.
01:14Welcome back with your title and your crown.
01:18First for the Philippines.
01:20Oh my god, nice.
01:22Well, bilang mga naging kandidato ng Muncha ng Pilipinas, ano yung pinaka-importante na lesson na inyong natutuhan?
01:28So yun yung journey na hanggang ngayon ay daladalan nyo.
01:31Bilang beauty queens, let's start with you.
01:34Honestly, for me, it's really important to enjoy the journey.
01:38I mean, the pressure is there, yes, and the expectations are there, but as long as you really enjoy the
01:46journey, you'll do great.
01:49You'll be able to perform well, and I'm happy that I still have it.
01:53It's really important to enjoy the journey.
01:56Because sometimes others are pressure during the competition.
01:59How about you, Andrea?
02:00What's your advice to the current candidates?
02:02For me, it's always to choose kindness.
02:06Because in pageantry, there is a lot of uncertainties, and there are a lot of things that you can control.
02:12So really focus on the things that you can control.
02:16And at the end of the day, when you always choose kindness, nothing could ever go wrong.
02:22And along the journey, whatever happens to you, I always remind this to myself back then when I was still
02:28competing.
02:29What you give to other people might not always come back to you, but what you give to other people
02:34is always who you are.
02:36Advice not only in pageantry, but also in life.
02:39Yes!
02:40No, Papi.
02:40Well, for Christina, as Miss Intercontinental Power of Beauty, what is your advocacy?
02:48And also, what are the projects you're going to do?
02:51My advocacy is mental health because I was actually diagnosed with a disorder in mental health, so it was really
02:59hard.
03:00And according to my projects, I've actually been doing hosting, my first time hosting, and also the events in Muta
03:07ng Pilipinas.
03:08I'm so grateful for that, and I'm so excited for more.
03:10How about you, Miss Andrea?
03:12I understand, of course, since you're the Miss Polo Universe 2026, what's going to be the next plan you're going
03:19to be doing as a beauty queen?
03:21Of course, I have to uphold the standard of Miss Polo Universe.
03:25You know, I actually brought home po the first Miss Polo Universe crown for the Philippines.
03:31So, right now, I just want to remain at the standard of Miss Polo Universe, and even higitan pa natin,
03:38kasi siyempre iba ang Filipina beauty queen.
03:41So, we have to show the world that we really are remarkable.
03:45Well, ongoing ang mutya ng Pilipinas, and ano ba ang mga aasahan natin pang mga activities, and when will be
03:52the coronation night?
03:53The coronation night will be on October 14th, everyone. So, please do follow the social accounts of Mutya ng Pilipinas
04:01for the updates, and I hope to see you guys there.
04:04How many crowns ba yung ibigay sa Mutya ng Pilipinas?
04:07As of the moment, we have, I think, 10 crowns to be given.
04:12So, to all of our aspiring Mutya ng Pilipinas queens, you have to give your best on October 14th at
04:19the Phil Oil Eco Oil Arena.
04:21And to all of our Filipino pageant fans, please be there because we cannot wait to witness who will be
04:29the next Mutya ng Pilipinas queens this 2020.
04:33Who will follow your footsteps, di ba?
04:35Sa ating mga candidates na kasama ngayon, siguro, ano yung pinakadapat nilang paghandaan for them to get one of the
04:42crowns for Mutya ng Pilipinas 2026?
04:44Andrea?
04:46For me, my biggest advice to all the queens is always remember your whys.
04:52Why are you here? Why are you doing this? What are you fighting for?
04:56Because for a beauty queen, it's always important that you know your purpose.
05:01Because at the end of the day, for you to be truly deserving of the crown, you have to have
05:05that something in you.
05:07Hindi pwedeng, you are going into something with nothing.
05:10You know, the pageant industry or the pageant world is a very hard industry.
05:16Marami talagang hardships. Maraming ups and downs.
05:20So you really have to have that push in you, that purpose.
05:25Ano yung reason bakit ka nandito?
05:27You, Andrea, what is your why?
05:29My dream. It has always been my dream.
05:31Since 6 years old, Ate Diana, it has always been my dream.
05:35At 6 years old, I've been seeing pageants, watching pageants, the local ones.
05:40And that really woke up the dream in me to become a beauty queen.
05:45And now, I have finally got a woman in the show.
05:48You know, with your wisdom and also yung iyong skills and beauty, of course, marami pang mararating talaga si Andrea.
05:55Oh, naging dream ko din yan eh.
05:56Oh, naging umuha mo sa.
05:57Ang problema kasi pag sinuot ka, yung baka sumunod yung hair ko.
06:01Okay, hindi na lang siguro.
06:02It's never too late to grab that title.
06:04Hindi nga, ayokong matanggal naman to pinaka-crown ko.
06:07Meron na akong crown na sarili.
06:08Okay na yan.
06:11Christina, pagdapat paghandaan also ng ato yung mga candidates.
06:14Of course, you should also prepare your body and mind to believe in yourselves always.
06:22It can be difficult, yung pageantry, yung journey.
06:26But as long as you believe in yourself and you keep trying, you'll come a long way.
06:31Okay.
06:31It's not like you're going to manifest me now.
06:34Oo, tama, diba?
06:35Van Heflin, I mean, aside from the Philippines, taga-san ba ang mga taga Van Heflin?
06:40I got it from my dad, of course.
06:42Your dad is?
06:43My dad is British, although the name is German.
06:46Okay.
06:47My dad is British.
06:48How are you doing?
06:50Great, I'm doing great.
06:51American English, yun.
06:53Kala ko mag-British English ka din.
06:55And si Andrea Watagasan.
06:57I'm a pure Filipina from Quezon, Providence.
07:00From Quezon, Providence.
07:03Well, girls, thank you very much for joining us.
07:05It's a Rise and Shine Pilipinas.
07:06At siyempre, supportahan po natin ang mga candidates for Mutianang Pilipinas this year.
07:10And again, to our reigning queens,
07:12thank you very much and wish you all the best sa mga upcoming mga projects.
07:16And of course, mga gagawin niyo pa dito sa the remaining days this year.
07:19Before you pass your crown.
07:21Thank you so much.
07:21Thank you so much.
