1/2 a queen is never late—everyone else is simply early 🤣🤣 spent the last few days replenishing my energy, and with my loved ones who have so patiently waited and quietly supported my entire journey. this post is dedicated to the village that raised this queen. If you told me two years ago that I would be sent to South America to represent the country at a beauty pageant, I would have laughed at your guts 😅 but look where we are! In the last year, I have watched myself grow into an empowered woman 👑 I know I say this all the time, but I would never be here without my team and supporters right behind me. Every ounce of my dedication and effort was poured into preparing for @msworldphl, but I could never give myself all the credit. I would be lost without my mentors at @thecampofficial 💙 @duds_santiago @lolathesexy @ecstaticjj @densky_devera0119 @johnpmorante @_chris.lum_ @saldesingo @jun.tacio @krisusgamutan @brad_pt88 for taking charge, producing my shoots, patiently coordinating my schedules, and sending whatever I need from shoes to makeup to dinner and chocolates 🥰 Thanks to you, I was able to feel what it is to be cared for even from miles away. @zicomanzano for leading my pasarela transformation. for keeping me on my toes (literally) and hungry to learn more. thank you for never giving up on me even when I refused to believe I could do what you taught. Sir @lowelllouie for helping me understand my body and how to use it to my advantage ✨ @elmojklmno @genres5 @shaianareta @_coach_shai_ for giving me the right tools to find my core and know myself well enough to answer any question thrown at me. for educating me on matters I knew nothing about. for keeping me calm and grounded when I needed it most 🤍 photo @lifenstyle88central
