How do you see yourself fifteen years from now?

(Case to Case Basis)

Who is the most influential person in your life?

The most influential person in my life is my mom. My mother is exactly who I want to be like in the future: kind, compassionate and a true epitome of a God-fearing
woman. She is an inspiration and a blessing for me and for others who know her.

Who is that one influential person you want to meet and what do you want to learn from him/her?

I would like to meet the pope. Since he has profound wisdom, I would like to know what his opinion or belief is on what matters most in life. Being a Man of God, I would
also like to ask for his prayers for our place, the people of (Place of pageant), and the less fortunate.

If you won in a lottery for millions of pesos, what would you do with it?

If I won millions of pesos in a lottery, I would use it as capital to start a small business. What is good about starting a microenterprise is that it is not a one-time deal. If in
case it turns out to be a good business and expansion is necessary, I would easily be able to do so and help more people by hiring them.

If you had to live your life all over again, what part of your life would you change?

None, I would not change a single scene in my life. I am me because of what I have been through. Changing any part of my life automatically changes what defines me as
a person, and I do not want that to happen.

If you were given the chance to live again, what would it be?

If I were given the chance to live again, I would still be me. I know that there is a work in this world that I alone could do. There is a space in this world that I alone could
fill. There is a sound that I alone could make. There are people who would miss me if I am not around. That is why if given the chance to live again, I would still be me.

If you were given the chance to change something from the past, what would it be?

*If I were given the chance to change something from the past, I would change the time when Masbate was wrecked by super typhoon Yolanda. I think everybody knows
what had happened there and no one would ever dare go back to that nightmare except to change the past for the better.

*I would not change anything from the past. The society we live in and the person we are today are products of our past. The past is something to be cherished whether it
be sad or happy. It is full of lessons and insights that we use today to see what lies ahead. It is a part of history that must be respected and treated as a clue to success and
progress.

*If I were given the chance to change an episode in the past, I would not permit for World War I and II to happen. I think that nobody deserves to undergo the nightmare of
those fateful years, no one deserved to die and no children of the past deserved to be subjected to so much sadness and horror.

If you have a magic wand, what is the one thing you would ask for, and why?

If God will grant you one wish, what would it be?

*If God will grant me a wish, I would ask that no one in this world should ever go hungry because of financial deprivation and social depression. It is an awful fact to
accept that while the world is busy keeping up with luxury and innovation, there are still thousands of faceless beggars out on the cold streets begging for alms.

*I would wish for the universal brotherhood and sisterhood of all of humanity. To eradicate the barriers of culture and language, to become one solid country of the world,
to share one universal truth, and become united children of One God.

*I wish that contentment would become an innate part of humanity so that hatred and greed will totally be over for us to have a peaceful world.

*I would like to wish for the betterment of all humanity with just a simple word – understanding. Even with all the conflicts that the human race is experiencing, if we have
complete understanding of each other’s feelings and needs, I am sure that we’ll be able to attain a peaceful and abundant life.

*If God would grant me one wish, I would gladly volunteer to be His instrument to bring change in this world. We see nothing but evil, suffering, grief and sadness. This is
not what the Lord wants. Thus, I would wish for myself to become His tool – a catalyst of change in order to help people change, and I believe that with His will and
guidance, change can be within our grasp. Thank you.

*If God will give me or grant me one gift or wish then, I would ask just as the Christian song does. “If there’s one gift I ask of you Lord, it would be peace here on earth,
as gentle as your children’s laughter all around, all around.” That, is all I want to wish from God. (If the candidate has a good voice quality)

future professional, a public servant, or an entrepreneur.

movement.

life

with the “wrong”; able to live, enjoy and inspire people to continue living with upright morals and to never stop achieving their dreams no matter how hard it is.

*Success is when you do every little thing with God and for God without hurting anybody’s feelings.

than enough for me.

he has been the apple of the eye of the people in every corner of the world.
