1.What is the funniest thing you remember as a child?
My theme song would be “Break Away” by Kelly Clarkson. Part of the lyrics — “I’ll spread my wings and I’ll learn how to fly. I’ll do what it takes, ‘till I touch the sky. I’ll make a wish, take a chance, make a change, and breakaway” — has been my motto since I was a young girl. This song always encourages me to overcome my limitations and live up to my full potential.
2.What is the one piece of clothing you wish you owned?
Bench, a local brand in the Philippines, is my favorite clothing store. It is known not only for its fashionable, quality, and affordable products but also for its high regard to social responsibility. Bench pledged to share a fraction of its earnings to charities and foundations that help Filipinos have better lives. Whenever I buy Bench products, I know that I am not just paying for clothes but I am also helping my fellowmen.
3.What season of the year is your favorite and why?
The best family vacation I experienced was spent in Batangas, my father's hometown. Known for its picturesque beaches and delicious delicacies, Batangas is home away from home. Every year, three to four generations of my family gather and bond together practicing Filipino traditions and doing simple family activities. We cooked our favorite Filipino food - adobo and sinigang. We swam in the beach and l talked about anything under the sun. It was simple but memorable.
4.What is your favorite movie?
I have always preferred indoor activities to outdoor adventures. Last year, my high school friends challenged me to get out of my comfort zone to climb Mt. Pulag, the highest mountain in island of Luzon. I took a leap of faith and made myself fit for the hike. Climbing Mt. Pulag was an experience I will never forget. It made me revere God's creation and taught me to be more environmentally aware.
