Aiming for the Crown

As someone who grew up being so insecure about his physical appearance, tonight marks a historic feat in my life. This pageant may be different from traditional ones, but the shift from face-to-face to online classes has ultimately affected the setting of all major events and projects. Virtual or not, I shall stand right in front of everyone, not to prove my worth but to inspire individuals who are having a hard time dealing with their insecurities and anxiousness.

To tell you the truth, I didn't plan on joining the event weeks before this. But someone had to step up and take the challenge when no one else can. In my own point of view, I believe that there are no winners and no losers in a pageant. Everyone deserves the crown right after they decided to join, the confidence, wit, and determination of all the candidates make them worthy successors of the crown.

To win the hearts of the people is more fulfilling than to win the crown that divides us all.

I'm inviting everyone to watch the live stream of the first-ever virtual Mr. & Ms. PICEsiklaban 2021 tonight at 7 PM. Follow the page at Mr. & Ms. PICEsiklaban 2021

Let's support my fellow candidates from Silliman University: Kliff Rajh Partosa, Margaret E. Tangon and  Khriselle Paulete Villarete.
