Pageant Journey

 

    Back in 2022, I joined my very first pageant, the Lin-ay kang Hamtic, where I proudly competed against nine strong and beautiful ladies. At that time, I was the eldest among the candidates, and honestly, it was both a challenge and an honor. Despite being new to the world of pageantry, I gave my very best — showing confidence, grace, and authenticity. Through that experience, I learned how to step out of my comfort zone, believe in myself, and embrace every moment on stage. In the end, all my efforts were worth it because I was crowned as the 2nd Runner-Up Lin-ay kang Hamtic 2022. That achievement will always remind me that courage and self-belief can truly make dreams possible.

In 2021, I was crowned as Miss Feb-Ibig, a moment that truly marked the beginning of my pageant journey. It was a celebration not just of beauty, but of love, confidence, and self-expression. During that time, I learned to embrace my individuality and spread positivity among others. Winning the title made me realize that true beauty comes from having a kind heart, a genuine smile, and the courage to stand proudly as yourself. The experience taught me to value self-love and compassion — lessons that continue to inspire me in everything I do today.

In 2023, I proudly represented my barangay in the prestigious Lin-ay kang Hamtic pageant, competing among 47 beautiful and empowered candidates. Through determination, grace, and faith, I was honored to be chosen as part of the Top 15 finalists. That experience reminded me that success is not only measured by the crown, but by the courage to stand tall, the heart to inspire others, and the strength to keep shining no matter what challenges arise. Being part of the Top 15 out of 47 barangays was a true symbol of growth, confidence, and purpose.

In 2024, I proudly earned the title of Miss CCS (College of Computer Studies) — a recognition that symbolizes not only beauty and intelligence but also leadership and purpose. Representing my department was both an honor and a challenge, as I aimed to showcase that women in technology can also embody confidence, grace, and empowerment. Through this journey, I proved that true queens are not just defined by how they look on stage, but by how they use their voice to inspire others and create a positive impact within their community. Being crowned Miss CCS 2024 reminded me that passion, perseverance, and authenticity are the real keys to success.

In 2024, I was honored to be crowned as the 2nd Runner-Up in Miss Linderian — a moment made even more special because my parents were by my side, proudly cheering for me and sharing every smile, every heartbeat, and every tear of joy. Their presence reminded me that no crown shines brighter than the love and support of family. Competing alongside amazing and talented candidates taught me humility, confidence, and the true spirit of sisterhood. Even without the main crown, I stood tall with pride and gratitude, knowing that my parents’ unwavering support was my greatest reward. That night, as I carried the title of 2nd Runner-Up Miss Linderian 2024, I also carried with me the love, faith, and strength that my family has always given me.

In Anini-y, I proudly competed in the prestigious Mandirigma pageant, where I was honored to be awarded as the 1st Runner-Up. It was a remarkable experience that tested not only my confidence but also my strength and determination to represent myself with pride and authenticity. Standing on that stage, surrounded by talented and empowered individuals, I felt deeply grateful — especially with my parents by my side, witnessing another milestone in my journey. The title of 1st Runner-Up Mandirigma reminded me that every challenge is an opportunity to grow, and every victory, big or small, is a reflection of courage, grace, and faith in oneself.
