The people behind being Miss World Philippines 2021
If there’s something I always keep telling the world, it’s the fact that I wouldn’t be Miss World Philippines if not for every single one who has been with me since Day 1. I may have already lost my Mom, but I found a real family in my closest relatives, in my closest friends, in my team, and in the people I met along the way who have such big hearts!
To all my Titas, Titos, cousins, and relatives, I couldn’t thank you enough for loving me just like your own and believing in me when so many didn’t. I love you all with all my heart.
To my friends, most especially to my Mare and Jomegas, you guys have always been there during my hardest moments and never left. Even without the need to talk, you guys just seem to understand what I’m going through and be my support system.
To my second family, my Origin Model Management Family, our love and loyalty are unmatched. We’ve been tested so many times but we always, always, chose each other. Forever grateful for all of you.
To my Aces & Queens Family, to my Binibining Cebu Family, to my Miss World Philippines Family, to my mentors, to all the amazing talents, creatives, photographers, stylists, designers, artists, make-up artists, hair stylists, pageant bloggers, media, and supporters, to my sponsors and partners, to the Cebuanos, Argawanons, and Bayuganons, my heart is full, thank you to all of you!
Being a beauty queen, you do need to work the hardest, you need to have good character and strong mind, you need the stars to align for you too! But, more than anything, you need people you trust with all your being, people who will always have your back, and people who truly want to see you win. So no, it does not just take a village to get to where you want to be, it takes a real family – by blood or by heart. <3
