Misters of Filipinas

Why did you join Misters of Filipinas?

-Growing up life have taught me lessons through hardships and one of it is bullying, it taught me that there is so much to be done and change especially in how we treat one another. 

Taking on one of the biggest platforms for change and that is Misters of Filipinas is one of my ways to take action to these types of societal problems. 

To be the spokesperson to guide children who are still experiencing bullying and to teach people that we should accept each other no matter who we are and what we are so that we can have a tomorrow that is loving and accepting.

For you what's the best characteristics that a Misters of Filipinas should have?

-To be purposeful, because in this journey its not about taking up a crown or making this a stepping stone to fame but this is a platform to make change and our purpose will guide us on how to touch the lives of the people for the better. Because at the end it’s how we treat one another that makes us remembered.

Body Talk

How do you take care of your body?

- As a nutritionist-dietitian, Diet is one of the major factors in taking care of our body. Having a quantified and  quality foods ( balanced meal: Go, glow and grow) will help better our health.  Partnered with exercise, we will achieve the optimum health that we desire and that should be the focus and not on how to sculpt our body in a certain way and taking up supplements  irresponsibly or formulate diets that could potentially lead to risking our health. We should love our body no matter what form it takes because we are unique and being unique makes us standout and we are born to be one.

Do you follow any work out routines  (what are your favorite work outs) 

- My trainer planned to hit my problem area which is everything ahahah. So my workout is made to improve all areas. I could say one of my favorite is legs because it’s the easiest one to do hahaha and it helps me look strong during my walk or pasarela for misters.

How about diet (what food do you avoid and what food do you take) 

- I dont avoid any type food, I can eat any food as long as they are in moderation. There is no good and bad food. It will be bad if we abuse the quantity that we intake. So, discipline is very important in controlling our diets. It maybe hard to do at first but everything is possible with willingness.

What part of your body is your favorite (and why)

- My smile, because people tend to like my smile and I love how it infect other people if they see it. It became my favorite cause it taught me that if someone is having a bad day  and with just one smile, it can change it into a good one.

What part needs improvement?

My mental capacity, pageantry is more than just a physical game but it is a mental game as well. After winning a pageant and performing and executing on stage on what the eyes can see, the winner will start working on its responsibilities. The world can be challenging and we need to have that strong mind to uphold the responsibility with kindness under the world’s pressure. Because at the end of the day this is a platform for change and a stepping stone to betterment of our society.
