If you were there backstage at the start of the Bb. Pilipinas Gold 2013 beauty pageant, then you would have heard some 85 beauty queens whooping for joy! When the music started playing, we all started shouting and screaming even. The contestants, who were behind us, also began to shout (out of nervousness and excitement) as well. It was a beautiful moment to be with all my beauty queen sisters, watching the monitors backstage, hearing the audience roaring and clapping and thumping their feet. Then before I knew it, it was my turn to climb the stairs up onto the Bb. Pilipinas stage!
It was a memorable event that I will never EVER forget!
