The discussion happened during the show's bonus round, where celebrity pair Kris Bernal and Martin del Rosario were asked to identify the top three priorities that Filipinos would choose if they became president. Team KRISMART answered that the public would likely prioritize free housing, higher salaries, and employment.
While Joy and Baus agreed with two of those choices, they believed education should replace higher salaries as one of the country's top priorities.
“Dahil 'pag ang tatlong ito ay nasa atin, mas madali nating makakamit ang mga mataas na suweldo,” paliwanag ni Baus.

Joy then elaborated on their reasoning by referring to a well-known psychological theory.
“Sabi nga ng Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, meron tayong mga psychological na pangangailangan. 'Yun 'yung mga pabahay, edukasyon, tsaka trabaho,” dagdag ni Joy.
She further explained that providing opportunities through education and employment could have a broader impact on society beyond financial stability.
“Next na lang doon is 'yung safety. Dahil mga Kapuso, kapag meron kang trabaho, edukasyon, nag-equip ka na ng skills, lessen na 'yung crime rates natin. Dahil ang krimen naman nangyayari usually dahil kulang sa pangangailangan 'yung mga taong gumagawa ng krimen.”
When the official voting results were revealed, the People's actual top three priorities turned out to be employment, education, and a safe community. Although their third answer differed from Team KRISMART's original response, Joy and Baus' explanation resonated with many viewers, who praised the pair for presenting a practical and well-reasoned perspective.
The successful bonus round also brought good news for Kris Bernal and Martin del Rosario. Team KRISMART earned an additional PhP20,000, increasing their total winnings to PhP120,000.

In another report, Joy Barcoma and Baus Rufo shared their differing views on how political beliefs can affect romantic relationships during their guest appearance on "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda." Joy said she would not end a relationship over political differences alone unless issues involving morality and people's lives were at stake. Baus, on the other hand, admitted that having opposing political views is already a dealbreaker for him.
Meanwhile, Miss Earth Philippines 2025 Joy Barcoma said she would turn down an 18-year-old suitor because she believes relationships require emotional maturity. During "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda," she jokingly remarked that she would rather support the young admirer by making him a scholar than pursue a romantic relationship. Joy explained that someone at that age should focus on making decisions that will benefit their future.
