World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: Please tell us about yourself.
Being a General’s daughter , I was guarded by policemen and including rules that need to be followed. I have witnessed the 30 years service of my father, he tried to reach peace in the Philippines but it has too much adversities going on.
So I was afraid in the world that I couldn’t trust anybody. As my mother decided I come with her at United Kingdom to continue my 3rd grade, she enrolled me at Cerne Abbas school. I was the only Asian student during that time and other students treated me differently; some are nice and some are ridiculing me. Furthermore, I made nice and lovely friends especially a best friend who’s just my next door neighbor so I got to play with her any time. I surely never ever forget how I met Prince Charles at Dorchester, he gave us a visit I didn’t had a picture with him but my mother treasured a tape from the UK local news, my face was clearly zoomed in while waving the UK flag shouting “ We want Prince Charles!”. Then I have a aloof tooth on the right side. It was embarrassing but, hey at least I met Prince Charles the Prince of Wales and presently now he’s the New King of United Kingdom.
As I grew to my young adult years, I have developed independency and being brave-hearted. I tried to be out in my comfort zone and be a corporate worker for 5 years. I wasn’t feeling happy in corporate life because I was too focus in earning. I brainstormed myself and tried to be inspired of my hobbies and things I like. It came out perfectly the time of pandemic, I figure that I am capable of having my own business.
Since I love Ninja and assassins video games I automatically chose the food industry. My first business empowered and developed me a trait of being frugal. Being an Entrepreneur and a businesswoman I was indeed glorified by the talent and skills from God. Then my wisdom in life quoted to be is “Be good and do good.”

For acting way back 2014 we had a Mindanao film festival at Davao City and I was one of the main cast. It’s a short film where college students show’s every different kind of plot about the hardships and real true events happening in college. Luckily, our film was awarded as best in screenplay , my professor boosted my confidence of being an actress because once you have the guts there is glory and I surely did it! Year passes by I did a lot of photoshoot, video shoot and commercials from small ventures.
And of the cutest venture I did for the kids is being an ambassador to the JB kids Club through online, by giving them free gifts and the parents will participate the events. I was in cloud nine of seeing the little ones through the stream and this lifted me to be at my best self. And of course I want to showcase my ever first photoshoot to the World Class Designer Mr. Leo Almodal. He is renowned to be one of the tremendous Swarovski gown designs. I am greatly entice to his creations.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine: What are your plans for 2023 as a Queen?
A Beauty Queen always aspires to inspire through her story. I, myself, is an epitome of an ordinary woman that has become empowered and influential. I have joined various Beauty Pageants wherein I have raised awareness and initiate change for the causes that I believed in.
As a Beauty Queen, I believe that I have an advocacy and a voice which could further be amplified in order to serve its purpose. And that purpose is to bridge that gap that separates every Filipino, especially the underprivileged youth, with that basic social and economic services. During the Marawi Crisis in 2018, I have been a Spokesperson of the UNCHR that provided certain aids to the Filipinos who are victims of the civil war. At the height of the pandemic crisis, I landed my hand in providing for those in need. These are simple actions that have made significant impact to my community.
Bringing these cogent baggage's, I would like to pursue this purpose of being a catalyst of hope to our community through my advocacy.
My Advocacy is tailored with community based outreach programs that aims to provide basic services to the community that is why I will initiate a partnership with the PNP Revitalized Pulis sa Barangay (RPSB) that conducts immersions to communities that are vulnerable to poverty and insurgency. As a daughter of a General, I have the trust to anchor my advocacy on their project with the main goal of fostering our youth and embellishing their skills and abilities as I envision their achievements as a stronghold of a community.
I believe that in order to build and create a bright future to our youth, we must shape, guide and support their personal and career development. Bringing career guidance and development trainings to every community is an effective tool to support their dreams and aspirations in life.
World Class Beauty Queens Magazine would like to say thank you for this wonderful interview.
