Eva Psychee Patalinjug joins campaign vs domestic violence
Eva Psychee Patalinjug, one of the front-runners in the 2018 Bb. Pilipinas beauty pageant, has admitted that she is aiming for the Bb. Pilipinas-Universe title at the grand coronation of the prestigious beauty contest at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Cubao, Quezon City on March 18.
"Of course 'Universe.' I know that people want somebody for the 'Universe' title but it's still a competition and it's anybody's game," said Patalinjug, when asked about her dream title in the popular beauty pageant.
"At the end of the day, it's the hand of the judges that will prevail. So it's anybody's game. Dapat hindi ka ma-pressure. Just do your best! Para sa akin kasi I'm competing with myself. I just don't wanna focus with the pressure outside and the girls, I find them beautiful. Pag hindi ako nag focus sa sarili ko, I tend to forget the track that I'm in. Madi-distract lang ako," she added.
Patalinjug that she if she wins the 2018 Bb. Pilipinas beauty pageant, she will use her voice in fighting domestic violence.
The Cebuana beauty queen said that she is an advocate of End Child Prostitution In Asian Tourism (ECPAT), an agency that helps children and women who are victims of domestic violence, rape, prostitution and other related cases.
"Through my efforts as a beauty queen, I want to help the victims of domestic violence, rape, prostitution and other similar cases," said Patalinjiug, during an exclusive interview at the Oasis, Araneta Center in Cubao, Quezon City recently.
Patalinjug, 23, is also taking up law at the University of San Carlos in Cebu City. But she is on a school break these days to focus on the pageant.
"I've seen a lot of beautiful girls and parang as the term goes, 'duguan' ang laban ngayon. Pero Cebuana ito kaya palaban!" she laughed.
On relationships, Patalinjug said: "There is no really perfect love at all. You really have to work it out when it comes to relationship."
"I've moved on! Sabi ko nga nuon, I'll focus on Binibining Pilipinas and ang korona ang magiging boyfriend ko!" --- ROBERT REQUINTINA
