Jeannie Mai, one of the hosts asked Janson this question: “What is one behind the scene pageant secret that you can share with the world?”
The 34-year-old Cebuana stunner answered the question with a big grin on her face.
“There’s one secret that I love to share to everybody. All the girls, well, really not all, but a lot of the girls call me “ate” or big sister. When I entered the pageant I was kind of curious about it then I was a bit shy, these girls would call me ate because it would show my age. But now I am very very proud of it because they look up to me, and share beautiful stories and this is one thing I am very very proud of. Your ate is here!”
