In her send-off press conference Ariella Arida admitted that she is not confident about her English speaking skills as they are not as good as of other Filipina beauties.

Ariella Arida said in her ANC's "Headstart interview, "I'm aware of it, actually. You know, I've got a lot of failings, especially on my communication skills and I'm doing my best to really express myself, to communicate myself, to convey a message to all of the people."

"Like what I've told my trainers, I will do my best in the competition. Because you know, when you get there [it's not about how you speak English] but how you express yourself. Latinas can't even speak a sentence; I mean a complete sentence in English. Many of the candidates have a translator". Ariella further explained.
