And one of my best friends was crowned Ms. Philippines Earth 2015!

I couldn't be any happier for her because I know this is her dream. I've been a witness to her struggles and to how she worked really hard to reach where she is now. I'm a proud bestfriend, and sister (from another mother), I must say.

Once again, Congratulations, Angelia Gabrena Ong, from the City of Manila, for winning the title of Miss Philippines Earth 2015! This is just the start. You have a long journey to go. Go on and prove to the Filipinos and to the rest of the world that you deserve this title. We'll be supporting you all the way. Good luck and God bless, Miss Crystal Queen!

Ladies and gentlemen, please support her campaign, #wewillbecausewecan and let's all pray that she wins the international pageant in November to give the Philippines a back-to-back Miss Earth title for 2014 and 2015.

and we gave her 3 victory parties :)

Congratulations Miss Casino Filipino 2013!

It's never too late for a congratulatory blog post for my awesome friend, Ladylyn Riva, who was crowned as Miss Casino Filipino 2013 last week!

I've seen her join beauty contests in the past, and this is the farthest she has come. I'm so proud of her. Now, she's working on a charity event, which she'll do at Aklan, her hometown. She's doing this to share her blessings. She won Php 500,000 at this pageant and she wanted to share it with the needy. Truly a beauty queen, inside and out! It's the reason why God never stop showering her with blessings.

She's got one more big pageant to go. Please support her. Will announce it soon. :)

Mutya ng Cauayan in Isabela

In celebration of the Gaway-Gaway-yan Festival in Cauayan, Isabela, the Mutya ng Cauayan 2013 was held last April 11, 2013. My friend, Angelia Ong, co-hosted Tom Rodriguez in this pageant so we went on an overnight trip to Isabela via Cebu Pacific. It was a quick yet fun trip! Glad to have met new friends.:)
