World Class Beauty Queens: Please tell us about yourself.
I was born in Margosatubig Zamboanga del Sur, Philippines. I'm the eldest of 5 children. My mother died when I was 20 so I became the breadwinner of my 4 siblings. I worked 3 jobs to be able to support my siblings financially until the 4 of them completed their university degrees. I married at the age of 23 and have 2 beautiful children aged 5 and 3 who are my biggest inspiration in life. My marriage ended after 12 years due to domestic violence. I finished a degree in Bachelor of Education major in Early Childhood Education in Western Mindanao State University in Zamboanga City, Philippines. I received the Dean list Academic Award, Leadership and Service Award and a Demonstrator in Student Teaching Award. I am a registered teacher in the Philippines. I graduated a Caregiver course in St. Augustine School of Nursing in Zamboanga City, Philippines. I completed my Cert IV in Disability and have a Diploma in Disability from TMG College Australia. I'm currently employed fulltime as an Assistant Nurse in a aged care facility. I also casually work as a Disability Developmental Support Officer and an Early Childhood Teacher.
World Class Beauty Queens: What does women empowerment means to you?
From my perspective, women empowerment can be anything which empowers women to be a good role model, to lead by example and be an inspiration to others so that we can accomplish our goals despite the challenges we encounter in our daily lives.
World Class Beauty Queens: Tell us about your pageant history.
It was always my childhood dream to become a beauty queen. I found myself watching the Ms
Universe Pageant and attending local beauty pageants competitions. When I migrated to
Australia, I was invited on several occasions to join the Mrs Beauty and Charity Pageant.
However, I wasn’t able to commit at the time. In 2018, a friend who was a committee member of the Mrs Beauty and Charity Pageant asked me to be a contestant, so I joined the Philippine Fiesta of Victoria Inc. Queen and Charity 2018. I felt this was a perfect tool to help raise funds for the constructions of the Philippine Community Building in Melbourne Australia. I felt privileged to be able to raise funds for the Filipino community. It was hard work raising money, but I really enjoyed the experience knowing I was part of the charity and able to give back to the Filipino community. I was delighted to be chosen by Face Australia Promotion and Pageantry to represent my hometown Mindanao, Philippines to compete in the International Mrs. Asian Mum of the Year in the Asia Pacific Beauty Fashion and Friendship Festival 2019 held Singapore.
World Class Beauty Queens: What inspired you to do your first pageant?
My biggest inspiration was the women who are victims and survivors of domestic violence.
Joining the beauty pageant helped me gain back my self-confidence after a failed marriage and I've learnt to value myself again. My other inspiration is my daughter. Being a good role model to her is imperative and I hope she is inspired to follow my footsteps and become a confident woman and to follow her dreams and aspirations.
World Class Beauty Queens: Why did you choose to compete your current title?
The Singapore experience was a fantastic platform to empower and be an advocate to children and mothers worldwide who are victims and survivors of domestic violence. From a personal perspective, the opportunity to compete at an international event was something i simply couldn't refuse. I felt incredibly honored to represent Mindanao and the Filipino people.
World Class Beauty Queens: To those unfamiliar with your pageant systems please tell us
what is it about?
Philippine Fiesta of Victoria Queen and Charity 2018 is a Filipino Organization in Melbourne
Australia. The primary goal was to help raise funds to erect the Philippine Community Building.
