In an exclusive interview, Brigiding shared her gratitude and excitement for the win. “It feels special. Wala ito sa imagination ko that this is going to happen. Sobrang grateful ako na ito yung pinuntahan ng career ko—from Season 1 to being the Slaysian Royale Queen today,” she said.
Reflecting on her journey, Brigiding shared that she approached this season with a more relaxed mindset, choosing to enjoy each episode as it came. Rather than worrying about future challenges, she focused on what was immediately ahead—preparing for each task and doing her best. Realizing that overthinking only led to anxiety, she embraced the process one step at a time.
