Describe your childhood/growing up years (8-13 years old):
I am really thankful for my parents because they saw my potential, my talent, my love for music. So they enrolled me in singing and dancing workshops. I had my best childhood because of them so I wouldn’t be able to be here or to get this far if it wasn’t for them.
What lessons did you learn from your childhood/growing years?
One of the most important lessons that I’ve learned in my growing years was that God’s timing is always right. As what a Filipina beaty queen said, “You are never denied, only redirected.” And since then, every time I’ll get rejected, disapproved, or declined. I am seeing it as a blessing in disguise. Maybe he’s preparing me for something better, which will be the right one for me.
Most memorable moment:
My most memorable moment was when I joined a talent show on national TV. I always dreamt of performing on a big stage but I never did see myself joining a singing competition. And with this experience, God opened both my eye and heart to what my passion really is.
Why do you want to be Miss Philippines Earth?
I want to be Miss Philippines Earth 2023 for I know in myself what I am capable of doing, even before joining pageants I am already doing charity works and live for a cause. By sharing this God-given talent to me, I am inspiring and helping people who are in need at the same time. And with this platform I believe I would be able to help not just the people but also our only home, the Earth. As what Author Jayaraj book says, “Nurture the nature for the better future.”
What is your environmental advocacy and why did you choose this?
The implementation and promotion of the 5R’s
(Refuse. Reduce. Reuse. Repurpose. Recycle)
We get countless benefits from our environment, and as a youth of today’s generation I want to contribute in promoting inter generational equity to promote sustainable consumption and production.
What tip can you share to promote eco-tourism in your City or Municipality?
I will actively participate in the projects and programs implemented by our municipality; personally visit and document the natural beauty of the area and apparently make use of the different social media platforms to promote our Eco tourism since they’re the most accessible way of communication at present.
