I feel ahtiisa speaks well and very clear that allows you to really listen to her speech. She speaks with sincerity and convictions.
VVV was phenomenal in this interview. But I have to say, Kris Janson is also just wow. She’s so comfortable in there.
VVV ,i wanna know her IQ or EQ. She’s so so smart. And just by having double master degree it shows how good she is. Education is the key for success. Education is the main core for eveything.
VVV is not a pageant pattie. Her answers are out of the box.. love the what i am hearing from this lady
Grabe yung Ahtisa Manalo!!! Ipadala na sa Mexico yan ❤👸🏻🇵🇭

I am only the one na nakapansin, si Cebu sounds like Pia while answering the questions - the tone of her voice🙂
I love how FLORIDA, BULACAN & CEBU are communicating, you can actually HEAR and FEEL their AUTHENTICITY❤
My summary on the girls speaking skills: 1. Baccoor - flawless, natural 2. Baguio - might be the nerves, but pls use Tagalog or Taglish 3. Bulacan - need to be more confident but otherwise quite easy to listen to 4. Cebu - funny and easy going 5. Florida - effortless 6. Pasig - funny and cute. She needs to be more gentle in her delivery 7. Quezon Province - well trained 8. UK - cute and effortless

The Gender Bias about VVV, I remember her voice-over back in 2021, evening gown competition where she said that "As a woman working in a male dominated profession, being underestimated was inevitable. Understanding that being a woman is not my weakness but my strength, in order for me to thrive..." na memorzed ko talaga kase remarkable ng words! grabe👏👏👑
These group are all very fluent in English. However, CEBU for me, stood out among them. Good luck to all

Grabe ka Cebu very Queenly pag mag talk. Iba talaga dating nya she’s very calm, relatable, likable. Hope she will get the crown✨
Love Athisa and Cebu🌷🌷🌷❣️
Very articulate si VVV
Everybody is really good and believable when it comes to speaking but my personal choice in this group (when interview was done) are Bacoor, Cebu, Bulacan, UK, Florida and Quezon province.
I think CEBU nailed this round. Her comm skills was very natural and not a trying hard way of speaking. She gave Pia Wurtzbach vibes the way she talked.
Cebu, Bacoor, and Quezon Prov delivered as expected. Pasig, UK, Florida, and Bulacan are very eloquent as well. Hopefully Baguio can elevate her com skills. Bata pa din naman siya.
Cebu speaks and sounds like Pia W like with just listening iisipin mo si Pia nagsasalita

VVV very well spoken. Calm, sincere and collected. All of them did good so let's just support the winner who will represent our beloved country Philippines in the international stage in Mexico this time.
I'm loving these women! They're inspiring, smart, and beautiful-true queens. Ahtisa's answers really stood out to me, especially considering some critics used to say communication was her weak point.But seeing her speak so calmly and sincerely now, it's clear they were wrong. I didn't get to focus that much on her during Binibini because I am team Catriona all the way but witnessing Ahtisa's composed and sincere demeanor now is truly impressive Overall, all the contestants did great!
Good job Ahtisa.
Cebu is very natural, so confident and can be an excellent TV/event host. Baguio needs to practice on her speaking skills.
I love the answer of Ahtisa for body Autonomy

Miss Cebu sounds like MU2015 Pia. My top 3 choices for Miss Photogenic if there's an award for that are all in this batch: Baguio, Bulacan and Cebu.
Parang si PIA magsalitaaaaa si CEBU love ko na sya ❤
Ang sarap nilang panoorin. They are so diverse. Good luck everyone🤍
After watching this interview video, all I can say is these beautiful women don't just have beautiful faces and body but listening to them was really an experience.... They speak not just to answer each question, but they speak with substance from their beautiful heart.... These ladies are absolutely equally intelligent.. They are amazing... May the best woman from this group wins on May 22!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
We can't compare the natural born English speakers with American, UK and Aussie accents na sina VVV, Ms. FL and Ms Uk sa ating mga homegrown pinays who manage to answer each questions from the heart. Kudos to KrisTiff, Ahtisa (sino kayo bashers, lol), Selena and Tarah(she tried).
Quezon Province❤❤
VVV is the best among the rest
I commend these ladies for their sisterhood and for giving a good fight for the MUP crown. My dream top 2 is Ahtisa and Chelsea. With Ahtisa crowning Chelsea next year so there would be a b2b Manalo girls.
