Melai Cantiveros

"“When they teased me, I also teased them back,”"

"Even if you go back and forth, I don't know about others, but even if you go to America, Spain or Uruguay, you still can't take away your Visaya-ness, especially the tradition. It is important for me to bring this to a national (level) so that they would see and hear who we are, our traits."

"“I want the viewers to pick up the individuality of the Visayan celebrities and influencers that I interviewed. When you touch where they come from, one would see that they are normal people, they are humble and they deserve to be our idols,”"

"I will use this experience in the Philippines to improve my work and share what I learned from working here in Korea. If there’s a chance to work again in Korea, I want to work with you guys again. SarangeyoooOoOoOooO,"

"Forever Grateful for the hardwork we share to each other , I had so much Fun and so many lesson that learned that been learned????"

""If someone question why I have award, don't worry, I question too," she said in her speech, which was filled with quotes Filipino parents can relate with."

"Because.. I just receive award, all of my life, from my mother and father everytime they're angry to me."

"But tonight, my heart is very, kuwan, the best."

"To my family, we will serve the Lord."

"I'm very sorry to the Koreans I acted like this , I'm so overwhelmed to this kind of award."

"I am very strict. Not really too strict. But I am like a disciplinarian with my children and my nephews,"

"“That's when I really saw for myself, 'Oh, I could do hosting here!'”"

"That's why I always focus on myself because I know I won't hurt myself."

"“Just keep going. You'll get to where I am now. I just don't know if you'll like where I am now. Little Melai, keep it up and keep it down,” she laughed, with a mix of humor and honesty."

"“Enjoy your career. Work your career with a good heart,” as she aptly puts it."

"Attitude is not in the dialect, it's in the personality."
