SO THE TOP 10 ARE CONSIDERED AS RUNNERS-UP. THEY ARE GIVEN A SASH TOO. "Catherine Cadayona Tabaniag,18,
Municipality of Panglao, Province of Bohol"I will never get tired of saying these lines infront of many people, proudly to the whole universe, the earth rather. I will never stop representing Panglao and our Province. This is not the end of my journey, it just started.
To the people who gave me hope and reasons to be confident despite my self doubts and fears, thank you so much! Nanay Nila Montero, Ate Aya Montero, Tatay Ondo Montero for the undying support. Yes! Its true that "Behind every Panglao'anon Beauty Queen are the supportive Montero family", Sir Deo Guden for all the trainings and advices, Sir Raul Gatal for featuring me on your blog, Sir Ritchel Apit Mutia, ICM and AGC Family for believing in me, Mother Jonathan Ocat, Ramchie Dolauta, Mamo Nayr Shufa Sines for the hair and make up trainings. Mommy Mikee Andrei and Kim Villamor thanks for letting me wear your beautiful creations momshies, you're all Bohol's pride!
Thank you also to Mommy Bessie, Mommy Cielo, Mommy Khyven, Mother Bing Cristobal, Mommy Raymond, Mommy Dave, Tito Norman, Tito Chris, Sir Magnolia O'Niel to all the people who helped in Manila.
To my family Mama Riza, Bernadette, Jake, my grand parents and all my relatives who kept on telling me "Win or lose langga, you're still our Queen"
To all Panglao'anons and Boholanos, thank you so much for believing in me. I can't mention you all but I will never forget how supportive you are to me.
And to the Man above who deserves all the applause and "congratulations". Thank you Papa God. You are the reason! Thanks for giving me more than what I prayed. You are the best! Sr. San Agustin, Panglao's Patron Saint thank you!
Life is really full of surprises. For all my failures, sleepless nights and feeling of rejection. I'm glad I kept going. Obviously, I feel like I'm failing miserably but these people ☝☝ told me "everything's going quite well". Because maybe, if they didn't, I wouldn't be here now. Again thank you!
And also. This goes out to anyone out there giving their best to get ahead. "Nag pageant- Natalo- Nasaktan", aspiring beauty queens, models. Don't get me wrong, I am not here saying this because I consider myself a success. I am far from that and only God knows how much more failures I have to go through. I am telling you that it gets better. Its such cliche to say "just keep going" but that's just how it is. Keep going girl! Let it flow. You're already ahead because you tried.
