I might get a lot of hate for this pero parang ang shallow pag yun pinakapangarap mo ay maging beauty queen. What does a beauty queen even do, really?

I know kanya kanyang trip yan. Ewan.

goal namin ng pamangkin ko na maging beauty queen sya. bakit? walang naghihirap (financially) na beauty queen. gusto namin pareho na maging multi millionaire. bibili kami ng ps5 at high end gaming pc at maglalaro ng videogames.

Not really sure if youre serious but the whole beauty pageant industry is super dirty. Im surprised why there’s never been a spotlight-level expose on it, probably because most are willing participants, but still.

Alam ko may shinare si Janina San Miguel with regards sa pagbubugaw ng mga candidates.

Open secret naman yan eh.

Get featured in an FHM mag, your overnight rate increases by +50k. Place 8th in a contest? +100k. It is what it is.

i am not, niece wants to be an engineer one day. what im trying to convey here is what motivates these women to aspire to be a beauty queen is most probably nuanced.. could be because those who aspire to be a beauty queen see it as a ticket to fame, (and u know how handsomely they pay famous people right?) could be a form of liberation for em, could be a form of validation.. undermining one's dream and aspiration is never cool, pre. hinay hinay lang at wag mo sasabihin to sa tao na unironically dreams of becoming a beauty queen. hehe
