In her one-minute intro video, Delavin shared a few things about herself such as her studies, work, and interests.

"I am studying business at De La Salle University and in my work I act in front of the camera. I sing and dance on stage, and record music," she said.

"In this work, I get to meet and connect to people of all ages which I loved to do since I was young. And I get to travel to places and different parts of the world, too, which I also love," she added.

"A fun fact about me is that I am a food lover. I love rice, I love ulam, all kinds of ulam and everything in between."
