FAREWELL SPEECH

I have nothing but gra�tude to GOD for the unforgetable and

happiest memories of my Miss Founda�on pageant experience. My heart
goes out to the Vice-Principal and Teachers of the Intermediate Level for
believing in me since DAY 1 that I will be a good representa�ve of our
department. A big Shoutout to my classmates and friends who have
cheered me on and pa�ently watched my journey throughout the
program. Special thanks also to the DVMI family and other members of
the MES community who served as an inspira�on for me to win the
pageant.
And of course, loving thanks to my family who have been very
encouraging in everything that I do. Win or lose, I knew I have their full
support. But deep down in my heart, I wanted to make them proud. My
heart is full of love and apprecia�on. You are my greatest blessing!
And to my successor, today marks the beginning of endless
opportuni�es. Winning the �tle helped me to win the MESCO elec�ons
as Vice President early this school year. It also contributed to my Extra
Curricular Ac�vi�es and contributed for me to become last year’s Mantle
Awardee. Know that it’s not the CROWN that makes you a QUEEN but
the heart that lies within. Love yourself, love your neighbors and love
GOD above all else. This is what makes a true Queen!
With faith, humility and hard work, anything is possible. I have
served my purpose, and that purpose is to have courage and inspire
young people to BE THE BEST THEY CAN BE AND MAKE USE OF GOD’S
GIFTS FOR HIS GREATER GLORY!
I am LUCILLE AMELIE REBUTICA BANDELARIA, your Miss
Founda�on 2023, now signing off.
