Transcript

What do you think are the differences, the women in Japan and women in Philippines? The women in Japan, they're calm, they're really silent. And I mean, that's very beautiful. The women in The Philippines, they're more like confident, energetic, and they try to be leaders all the time. Most of the companies in The Philippines are led by women. Really? Yes. Wow, it's wonderful. As much as I respect and I am proud of the women in Japan, I also want them to try to be more, you know, open, be more confident about themselves because I really no. I can feel that Japanese women are stronger and really intelligent. Even in joining pageants, when I wore the Japan sash, I was really really confident and happy and proud of myself because I can say that I'm a Japanese woman. And I know that it's just tier. Better they just have to bring it out. Right. I guess they just don't know how. Yes. Yeah.
