Well it's all about my maternal grandparents . I remember sitting on a swing with my grandfather. He had his arm around me and would tell me wonderful stories. I felt very loved and protected.

That we must value and loved our grandparents, we must cherish those beautiful days being with them. And there love is truly unconditional.

Most memorable moment:
When the time I won my first pageant when I was in highschool. I was a grade 8 representative and being a first timer is not easy. But my Lola said just enjoy the night and be beautiful that words calm me. And when the moment of truth the mc announced the winner and I was shock because it was me! Yes it's me!!! And then I see my Lola shouting in the crowd of many people she was so happy and it feel so great.

Why do you want to be Miss Philippines Earth?
Well it is one of my biggest dreams in life. Pursuing this with courage and dedication not just for popularity but for being a voice to those vulnerable. To showcase my abilities and talents for what I can contribute to the organization.

What is your environmental advocacy and why did you choose this?
My advocacy is all about "Environment Awareness through Education" Because the center of all learning processes will greatly help in changing the thinking patterns and attitude of people towards our earth and environment.

What tip can you share to promote eco-tourism in your City or Municipality?
By educating people on every aspect of it, which will get more people involved in this activity. Hiring bloggers to write is another way to drive the conversation of ecotourism and promote the program on well-read travel blogs.
