Miss Supranational Mutya Johanna Datul is positive that the Philippines’ representative to the 62nd Miss Universe Ariella “Ara” Arida will take home the crown.

“Oh my God – yes! We will pray for her…alam kong kayang-kaya ng friend ko ’yun,” Mutya told the press at the launch of Pizza Hut’s “Make It Great” campaign.

Describing Ara as “…girl na, palaban, hindi sumusuko sa lahat, as in talagang wala siyang kinatatakutan,” the 21-year-old beauty said with conviction, “Alam kong sa ganda ng puso niya, sobrang madasalin niya, alam ko na, she will make it – the crown of Miss Universe.”

Mutya has seen firsthand Ara’s progress as a beauty queen, from starting out as good friends in this year’s Binibining Pilipinas, to the time they trained together for their respective international competitions under the local pageant’s director Stella Marquez-Araneta.

“Sobra laki ng na-improve ni Ara – lalo na sa katawan! Sobrang workout talaga siya,” she exclaimed.

Mutya pointed out, “Hindi lang about sa walking, or sa pag-pose, importante din talagang makita nila ’yung pag-prepare mo sa katawan mo. Iba kasi ’yung factor na, pag nakita nila na always ready ka – kasi everyday ma-e-expose yung katawan mo, makikita nila ’yung pinag-workout mo, lahat ng mga pinagtrabahuhan mo – marami kang ma-i-inspire, mas maraming mga tao dun na (who would be saying) ‘She (is) perfect to be crowned as Miss Universe,’ ’di ba?”

She recalled “(Tsaka) si Ariella, nung Binibini, sobrang tahimik, pero ngayon, sobrang ready sa lahat. Kahit sino ’yung mag-interview sa kanya, kahit anong makakaharap niya, sobrang ready siya.”

Mutya’s advice to Ara: “Gagawin niya lahat ng makakaya niya. And then, pray lang siya, i-enjoy niya ’yung pageant. Kasi, gaya sa akin…in-enjoy ko lang talaga ’yung pageant ko… I-appreciate mo lahat ng mga kung anong meron ka ngayon, gawin mong inspirasyon (at) lakas ng loob, kahit mahirap – kasi alam ko ’yung feeling na mahirap, ’yung (pressure) – para makuha mo ’yung crown ng Miss Universe.”

Beauty from within

With the country already having two titles under its belt this year, the first Asian and Filipino to win the title of Miss Supranational shared her thoughts on what she considers the Pinay winning factor.

“Para sa akin, tayo(ng) mga Pilipina, nanggagaling lahat dito (points to her chest), sa puso natin. Lahat ng mga nakikita natin, lahat ng mga nakakausap natin, everywhere – na-a-appreciate natin lahat.”

Mutya shared, “Katulad ko, nung nag-Supranational (ako), lahat talaga na-appreciate ko, sobrang masaya ako. Sabi nga nila sa’kin, ‘(Ms.) Philippines is always happy.’ Ganun ang Pilipina – dito natin kinukuha lahat sa heart natin, kaya dun tayo umaangat.

She added, “Kasi pag once na maganda ’yung heart mo, nagiging maganda ka sa harapan ng mga tao.”
