This was her first time to enter a pageant, let alone the prestigious Miss Teen Philippines. She shared that it came as a surprise when her name was being called, and as this year’s Miss Teen Philippines it hasn’t really sink in to her yet that she won, she is still in “Cloud 9” sensation she said.

“It really felt grate and surprising because this was my very first time and all the candidates were beautiful, smart and had potential and on day 1, I was very scared, when I looked because as I said they were beautiful and filled with potential. But along the way we became close, like sisters and I really appreciated that it felt like we weren’t in a contest. I was having so much fun with them and I will never forget the experience,” she said.
