She said in an interview with Boy Abunda that she dreamt of being welcomed in the Philippines in the country with a grand parade and meeting presidents like the former president Benigno Aquino III and the current president Rodrigo Duterte.
But none of that happen when she won back-to-back. Although she also said, “I went back to the reason why I did this. It’s not just about fame or about the attention, I joined not only for myself and my family, but also for the advocacy of the pageant, which is protecting the environment.”
