They don’t make statues of the critics, they make statues of the dreamers.
Needless to say, it takes gut to be a beauty queen. But the experience in the
competition gave Keinth Jensen Villamer Patrasanta gave her new
perspective in life.

Keinth, 21, a Tourism Management graduate is a gender advocate. She said

that she wants to be a voice for gender equality and women empowerment

providing equitable opportunities, resources, and life prospects for all gender.

believe that everyone deserves to have equal opportunities, especially to be
accepted and not just tolerated.” she said.

downs. I owe everything on you guys. To my great mentor and partner in
everything, My man Chesley Carlos, thank you for always having your back
ever since. Most especially, I would to thank my Mom. Kung hindi dahil sa
