DESCRIBE YOUR CHILDHOOD/GROWING YEARS (8-13 Years old)
When I was a child, I was often bullied by my classmates and because of that, I hated going to school. But my mom told me to stop weeping and to never let anyone step on me. She even added that I should learn to fight and be strong because I wasn't raised to be stepped on. That's why, to this day, I always fight for what is right and stand up for myself.
WHAT LESSONS DID YOU LEARN FROM YOUR CHILDHOOD/GROWING YEARS?
Never let anyone control you, dominate your decisions and step on you because every human being is born with dignity and self-respect is something we owe to ourselves. Another lesson I learned is to accept my encounters with failure and use them as tools for growth because experience is the best teacher.
WHAT IS YOUR MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT?
When I won the Zamboanga's Top Model contest because it was the first time I saw how proud I made my family. The pride I saw in them matters more to me than winning the title.
WHAT IS THE MOST UNUSUAL THING YOU'VE EVER DONE
Falling in love with someone who's already taken.
WHAT IS YOUR AMBITION IN LIFE?
My ambition in life is to take my family on a trip abroad because I really hate it when my dad envies his brother who has already been outside the country. I want to take my parents to all the places they want to explore because it's the least I can do as their daughter. I wouldn't be the person I am today without them. I will do everything I can just to achieve my goal, which is to fulfill my parents' dreams, especially Papang's dream, because fulfilling their dreams would already fulfill mine.
WHAT IS YOUR ENVIRONMENTAL ADVOCACY AND WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS?
My advocacy is to strengthen the implementation of the 'polluter pays' principle. The 'polluter pays' principle makes the party responsible for producing pollution pay for the damage done to the environment. Through the said principle, not only would we be more aware of our environmental problems but people would also learn about the ill effects of pollution and they would think twice before they decide to pollute again. I believe that this principle, if implemented strictly, would make a good starting point in achieving a pollution-free country in the future.
WHAT TIP CAN YOU SHARE TO PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE ENERGY FOR ALL?
The best way to promote sustainable energy is to educate people about sustainable energy and its effects. For instance, charging your laptops, cellular phones and other gadgets only when needed will not only save money but also conserve energy. Let's promote change by starting with ourselves and being examples for the future generations.
