"As a half-Filipino, half-American, I feel quite lucky to be Filipino. I would say we are one of the best countries to compete, one of the best countries that actually put our all into pageants.

I wanna thank everybody for the continued inspiration," she said."I just wanna wanna commend all the girls that have put themselves out there.
