Miss Philippines pageant: The amazing journey of the beauty queen

The 5-foot-8 stunner has been getting support from all over the world as her Facebook account receives encouraging messages all the way from Brazil, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore and the US. She says she’s very grateful for the support, but it has been her parents’ encouragement that has given her a major boost.

“I cried when somebody told me that my mum was handing out flyers to strangers until 2am in Dubai for people to vote for me online,” she said.

For the contest on Sunday night, mentor Wilson’s advice is to be herself.

“Don’t pressure yourself, stay who you are, be confident — just think that the pageant is just a one big show. Stay humble and your answer must come from your heart,” she said.

There is a lot more to life then winning and she did inspire a lot of her countrymen and women by her determination. She may not have won today but for sure she will do well down the line.

She is a brave, smart and a beautiful person. Its not all about winning but making yourself count and taking part is what matters and not many of us can hold a candle to this beautiful person. Being half this and half that or white or black counts for very little. She certainly deserves to do well and good luck to her
