Young queen pays tribute to parents as she relinquishes crown

-


Miss Philippine Youth International 2019 Rikki Mae Dela Peña has paid tribute to her parents for her success both in pageantry and school.

"A huge thank you to my MOM & DAD. ❤️ I have successfully graduated university and fulfilled my duties as Miss Philippine Youth International at the same time. Thank you for being my motivation and inspiration," said Rikki Mae on Facebook hours before she crowns her successor on Jan. 12.


Rikki Mae also revealed that she applied to Mr. and Ms. Philippine Youth online without her parents knowing.

"It was about 1 am when I sent my online application form and I only told my sister about it. The reason for this is because I was so scared to join a pageant knowing that I was a graduating student that time and because I haven’t joined any pageant yet;


"I was scared that they might not agree to it. One of the Best things that I have learned in my journey that I would like to share with the candidates is to TRUST your parents know matter what;

"Win or lose, they will always be there to support you. Before you compete tonight, take a moment to thank your parents and the people who supported you on your journey," she said.

Rikki Mae said: "Tonight, I will be crowing the new Miss Philippine Youth. I am beyond excited for her journey!;


"Mr and Ms Philippine Youth 2019 was my first pageant and my first win. This journey has been a stepping stone for bigger things to come;

"I will continue being an inspiration to all. If I could do it, so can you! Never give up on your dreams. Be patient and positive," Rikki Mae said. (Robert R. Requintina)

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

Her complete post: "We are sleep-deprived & the noise is stressful for me, my husband and and my children when we are home, that living in a beautiful building that has its own hotel and restaurants (and that cost more than what I sold our Wack-Wack house for!?!) still makes us all want to move out and check into a nearby hotel or transfer to a house or another condo!; "I understand how uncomfortable it is for a homeowner to have to do some construction in his own property and know he’s inconveniencing and bothering neighbors; "I am usually very understanding.
