00:00You know what, I'm so proud, I'm so proud that you have this song.
00:09Oh, thank you, thank you.
00:11Paano na buo yung kantang to?
00:13Ay, bitito boy, this is the first collaboration between GMA Music and Star Music.
00:18So, ang lahat po nang pasasalamat ko that they trusted me with my platform
00:21and of course my talent also to be a performer.
00:24I love being on stage.
00:26But when they showed me, when they presented me with the collab also,
00:30I was so, parang finally I'm able to express myself in a way that has always helped me through my life,
00:36which is through music.
00:37And when they showed me that song, the lyrics was so beautiful.
00:42It was really a collaboration between Star Music, myself, and GMA.
00:47But the lyrics are so relatable, not just to me, but to everybody.
00:51Puntahan natin, diba?
00:53Corona ang ak...
00:55Lakas loob.
00:56So, lakas loob ang aking corona, that means a lot, no?
00:59Exactly.
01:00Please sit down.
01:01But of course, I want to dance with you.
01:03Yes.
01:03Bakit?
01:04Bakit napunta doon sa lakas loob ang aking corona?
01:07I mean, tito boy, like when you look back into my journey,
01:10my journey was not that I ended up with a crown,
01:13but I was still treated like a winner.
01:14And what helped me get to that point was really to have lakas ng loob to try again,
01:19lakas ng loob to be who I am,
01:21to embrace my authenticity, embrace my story, my vulnerabilities,
01:26and things that I know so many people can relate to also.
01:29So, I don't believe that my success was brought just because of like Miss Universe Philippines or Miss Universe,
01:35but it's because it's that shared passion for the platform and nakita din nila how hard I were.
01:42At niyakap ka eh.
01:43Niyakap ka talaga ng sambayanan.
01:45And let's go to the lyrics nga.
01:48Yes.
01:48Meron ka dun, I'm beautiful, I'm kind, I'm strong.
01:53Three very, very powerful words, di ba?
01:55Maganda ako.
01:56At saka ang importante, I mean, I just want to say this,
02:00ang importante dito sa lyrics, sa letra ng kantang ito,
02:03you are speaking on our behalf.
02:06Yes.
02:06Kanya-kanya tayong struggles, no?
02:07Pero ito yung, I'm not going to ask,
02:10I'm not going to allow anybody to define my beauty because I am.
02:13That's for me to define.
02:14Di ba?
02:15Kaya nung sinasabi mo, di ba, am I right?
02:17Beautiful, I'm kind, and I'm strong.
02:20I mean, you know, in life,
02:21you're going to be presented with so many different things.
02:24And you have to ask yourself,
02:25how do you want to be presented?
02:26Paano ba ako gusto makilala?
02:28Is it through bashing?
02:29Is it through hating?
02:30No, it's because you see yourself as an individual.
02:34And you should always move with kindness,
02:36move with gratitude.
02:38And that, in turn, will cause that ripple effect.
02:42Sana you can lead by example lang talaga.
02:44Or sana you can see the worth that people don't see in you.
02:48And there's another line that's powerful in that song,
02:51na parang lahat ng kilos minamata.
02:54Yeah, so the first verse is really about
02:57how you are heavily scrutinized.
02:59Tama ba?
02:59Lahat ng kilos minamata, nakaabang...
03:02Like, dati-dati nakikinig sa husga ng tao.
03:05Sa husga ng tao.
03:07Natutunan ko rumampa na hindi apektado.
03:11Akala ko walang ginagawa.
03:12Pero that must have been difficult, Michelle.
03:14It's very difficult.
03:15Parang naglalakad ka,
03:17and to be able to remain undistracted by the noise.
03:24But it didn't start with that, Tito Boy.
03:25It didn't, no?
03:26No, I had two national pageants of me trying to conform
03:30with what people were expecting me from my mom, my cousins.
03:35And then it was that third year that I said,
03:37you know what, I'm going to be myself.
03:39Papakita ko na lang kung ano ako,
03:41and let's see what happens.
03:43And that's what I did,
03:45and that's what brought me success,
03:46is really embracing who I am.
03:48And that's what I hope this song reflects onto other people.
03:51So, okay.
03:52Be who you are,
03:53and be celebrated for who you are,
03:55because there will always be someone
03:56who will celebrate the right side of you.
03:58Tama.
03:59Tama.
03:59And there will always be those,
04:01kasi ngayon ang dami dami problema ng mga bata,
04:03how do I handle people who don't like me?
04:05How do I handle people?
04:06How do I handle bashing?
04:07Oh, yeah.
04:07How do I handle harsh criticism?
04:10Kasi alam mo,
04:11when you decided to be,
04:12this is who I am,
04:13take me for who I am,
04:15I am good,
04:16I'm beautiful,
04:16I'm strong.
04:17Paano mo,
04:18this is to inspire a lot of people watching,
04:21paano mo nilabanan yung ingay?
04:25That noise.
04:26I,
04:27well,
04:27that also comes from experience,
04:30from being in front of the camera a lot,
04:33being,
04:34growing up in this industry also,
04:36but a big part is really how my parents raised me.
04:40My grandmother raised me,
04:42the example that she's put,
04:43because I've seen them go through so much hardships in life,
04:46and they always choose to do the right thing after.
04:50It would be so easy to,
04:52like,
04:52sampahan tayo ng kaso,
04:54or let's power trip,
04:55or whatever.
04:56But no,
04:56we believe in karma,
04:57we believe that whatever you put out sa universe,
04:59babalik yun.
05:00Bumabalik.
05:00Oo.
05:01Whether that's bad,
05:02whether that's good,
05:02good.
05:03Babalik yun sa'yo.
05:04Pag nanghihina ka,
05:06pag nawawalan ka minsan ng lakas ng loob,
05:08because the good days are bad days,
05:11anong ginagawa mo?
05:12Saan ka humuhugot ng lakas?
05:15Sometimes kasi,
05:16Tito Boy,
05:17you have to,
05:18you have to find strength in your why.
05:21Because,
05:22if you have a bigger reason on why you're doing it,
05:25like when I joined Miss Universe,
05:27I knew I had a bigger mission.
05:29But there was so much hardships to get there.
05:31Just to get to this point in my career,
05:33after the song,
05:34after everything that I've done,
05:35there's so many things that happen.
05:38But what is my why?
05:39My why is to inspire.
05:40My why is to use this platform.
05:43And you have to be willing to go through all of the bad
05:45to get to the good.
05:46You have to go there, no?
05:47And if it was easy,
05:49then are you actually working?
05:51Tama.
05:51And are you actually where you are supposed to be?
05:55Di ba?
05:55And if it was easy,
05:56would it be worth it?
05:58Sa paglalakbay mo, Michelle,
06:00para lang maintindihan ang mga nanonood,
06:02ano talaga yung pinakamahirap na pinagdaanan mo?
06:05First thing that comes to mind,
06:07what was the toughest?
06:10I think,
06:11I mean,
06:11all things in mind is
06:12feeling like
06:14I'm doing it alone.
06:17Because
06:17it was an eight-year journey.
06:20Yeah.
06:20And there was no blueprint.
06:22And
06:23there is no right way
06:25to do something
06:25when you're trying to be different.
06:27Oo.
06:28I'm doing it alone.
06:29I'm doing it alone.
06:30I'm doing it alone.
06:30I'm doing it alone.
06:31I'm doing it alone.
06:32I'm doing it alone.
06:32I'm doing it alone.
06:33I'm doing it alone.
06:33I'm doing it alone.
06:34I'm doing it alone.
06:34I'm doing it alone.
06:35I'm doing it alone.
06:35I'm doing it alone.
06:36I'm doing it alone.
06:36I'm doing it alone.
06:37I'm doing it alone.
06:37I'm doing it alone.
06:37I'm doing it alone.
06:38I'm doing it alone.
06:39I'm doing it alone.
06:39I'm doing it alone.
06:40I'm doing it alone.
06:40I'm doing it alone.
06:41I'm doing it alone.
06:42I'm doing it alone.
06:42I'm doing it alone.
06:43I'm doing it alone.
