Leandrea Batingan, your Miss Tourism Ambassador Universe 2019, from the Philippines! 🇵🇭 A dream is a dream, until it becomes a reality. It takes determination and motivation to achieve it. On this day, I have no words but to thank the people behind my victory whom handpicked me with willingness, teamwork and encouragement to win for our country, and to take back that confidence I once lost. I even doubted myself, thinking that I can’t do this, and that I don’t think I’m ready. but I realized that you don’t have to be ready, you just have to be prepared and be with the right people who believes in you and your strengths. The hardships of our past makes us successful for today and the future. I will always be grateful for it. I am now a strong believer, that there is always a right time for everyone. You just have to wait, because the best things comes for those who waits. I am strong, resilient and proud to be a Filipina.
