Katarina Rodriguez looks forward to 2019

-


Reigning Miss World Philippines Katarina Rodriguez may not have won the Miss World 2018 crown in China recently but says that she won't change a thing during the international competition.

"I arrived in China feeling like the weight of the world was on my shoulders & now I leave China feeling absolute freedom," says Rodriguez on Instagram just one day after she arrived from China recently.

Rodriguez continues: "I would not have changed a thing during my time in Miss World this past month. Despite not bringing home the blue crown, I did exactly what I wanted, I represented my beloved country for my last time & introduced to the world #ProjectBecome & the @teachpeacebuildpeacemovement;


"This competition was more than just a crown. It meant becoming a woman. It was opening my heart and mind to a panel of judges, who in retrospect had their preferences, knowing the possibility that my reality wouldn’t be what they were looking for," the Filipino-American beauty queen says.

Rodriguez continues: "There is no one to blame with the results. This is simply life. To many of you it seems that @missworld has been crowning the same queen each year now, however every year they add some new spice to the pageant itself."

"The competition was like a month long casting & if you don’t fit the role you won’t get the job. This is how I see it as. By now you should all know me well enough to know that I stayed true to my authentic self all through out.;


"In life knowing who you are & who you’re not will get you further than striving to be anyone other than yourself. Thank you to @msworldphil & @arnold_vegafria for trusting me with this wonderful opportunity I’m looking forward to 2019 with you ALV.;

"To my parents & grandparents, I thank them for being the best sets in the entire world & for their endless support. Because of them, I’ll always be the lucky one. To my A&Qs fam, thank you for playing a huge part in my becoming the woman I am today. Mamas, you’re real life fairy godmothers;

"To my team who became my friends & in turn my family, alam mo na. This was for you, the army of people backing me up & believing in me. You guys proved to me that limitations are only cerebral especially with the support of Filipinos worldwide," Rodriguez says. - ROBERT REQUINTINA

Kapamilya star Diego Loyzaga has admitted that he is reaching out to his father chief operating officer of Tourism Promotions Board Cesar Montano but he doesn't know if his dad knew that he was making the move.

And even Tito Bayani was telling me hindi na n'ya nakikita si Erpat. Lagi s'yang busy. Sinabi ni Tito Bayani, 'why don't you just text him?' "said Diego, when asked if he's reaching out to his father, during an interview on "Tonight With Boy Abunda" on ABS CBN. "Sabi ko, 'why not?' Nanghihinayang ako eh. Kung kelan ako sobrang seryoso na sa ginagawa ko sa showbiz na 'to, I wanna learn so much. I'm taking workshops with Tito Pen Medina at kung sinu-sino pa. Why not my dad? Why not my father?; "Nanghihinayang lang ako. Sa kont...
