When Larry Elima of Sash Factor greeted me ‘Merry Christmas’ earlier, he attached a link to their pageant group’s “10 Most Influential People in Philippine Pageantry for 2013” and I was (and still am) truly touched with the inclusion of your blogger on the list.
To be placed in the company of major movers like Madame Stella Marquez de Araneta, Ms. Cory Quirino and Jonas Gaffud, well-known Fashion Designer Francis Libiran and fellow pageant enthusiast Jory Rivera of OPMB Worldwide is an honor in itself. To Larry, Brix Vera, Raymond Golez, Dencio Natividad, Khristianne Luna Bernardo and the rest of the Sash Factor team, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Let us all look forward to the thrills and excitement of the coming year. Our community can definitely live in harmony if we all have the same mission in mind for our beauty queens and pageantry (both local and international) in general.
Mabuhay tayong lahat!
