Describe your childhood/growing up years (8-13 years old):
Growing up as a child I used to be a shy and quiet kid. My parents, lola aunts and my tita usually discipline me growing up by emotionally, physically, spiritually. I used to watch my father playing and watching my mother cooking. I used to watch my favorite cartoons playing computer games and bond with mom in hot sunny weather.

What lessons did you learn from your childhood/growing years?
The lessons that I learned from my childhood/growing years is that you don’t have to rush things out and enjoy what’s in the present, because we might not know what will happen tomorrow and you’ll missed the things that you’re not grateful for and it is important to appreciate things whether small or big and live a humble life.

Most memorable moment:
The most memorable moment that I experienced is that I made my Mama proud and follow her dreams for me. I truly believe that mother knows best, because she doesn’t want to see her child suffer

Why do you want to be Miss Philippines Earth?

Millions of Filipino relying to our agriculture and fishing this could threaten our livelihoods and that’s why I choose this advocacy.
