The comedienne replied “oo ata” or “maybe” when Susan asked her if she would continue her journey as a beauty queen.

Kuya Kim then asked, "Edi ‘yung pag-goodbye mo sa YouTube, hindi pala tunay na goodbye ‘yun?"

Herlene responded by shaking her head and clarifying that her previous declaration was influenced by the uncertainty surrounding her representation of the Philippines in a global beauty pageant due to issues involving the Miss Tourism franchise. She, however, did not disclose the specific international pageant she might compete in.

Furthermore, Herlene is planning to have a period of self-growth and skill development once the unspecified international pageant is over.

"Hindi po. Sinabi ko po na ‘I’m signing off’ kasi wala pa po akong Miss Philippines Tourism na ipagdadayo ko po. Kumbaga, wala pa pong franchise na kukuha d’un sa international na paglalabanan ko. After n’un, lalaban pa rin ako sa international,.
