Miss International PHL Patch Magtanong ready for ‘greatest experience of her life'


Newly crowned Binibining Pilipinas International Patch Magtanong is still riding high after winning one of beauty pageant's major titles and for taking her oath as a lawyer.

Nevertheless, she is excited for her next challenge, the Miss International pageant in Japan.

"It's only the beginning. I'm so excited to represent my country this November 12, 2019 in Tokyo, Japan," she said in one of three consecutive Instagram posts.

 

 

"Para sa Diyos, para sa aking pamilya, para sa bayan. To the greatest experience of my life?," she added.

The beauty queen, who hails from Bataan, earlier said she had done her research on the country's culture.

Patch, who at 24 years old, also discouraged her fans and supporters from limiting themselves due to fear and self-doubt.

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

(1/3) Never limit yourself with fear or self-doubt. Your capacity to change and improve is exponential. You’ll be surprised what you can do if you put your mind into something. During the past 3 months, I’ve grown exponentially wiser, stronger, more courageous, more confident, more powerful, and I owe it all to these people:? ? First and foremost, Tito Nad @sigulanon, who saw my potential even through the glasses, chubby cheeks and eyebags, the shyness, doubt and insecurities. I told him it would be a dream come true for me to join Binibini; he told me I had what it takes to win. Since then he’s invested so much in me. There’s no one I trust more, whose opinions I value the most! Thank you pañero!! (Alam ko na sasabihin mo dito: “Drama!” Hahaha)? ? Ian @ianlorenz, who gave me a few of his precious hours each week, to help me bring out the power and confidence in my walk. Oyelle @imoyellaarida, who saw something in me from the beginning, and was an instrument in allowing others to see what I have to offer too. More than that, these two became my confidantes throughout the whole pageant, especially pag nakakabaliw na, I love you both!!? ? Tito Ricoy @pablomendeziii, who lovingly made my application and screening dress, my charity gala cocktail dress, my national costume and my evening gown. Each piece was made with so much thought and creativity and I transform into a queen when I wear his creations.? ? Albert @abtkurniawan, for carefully crafting my look, who was my teacher and my friend, I feel my most beautiful when I’m made up by you! Thank you also to the rest of @teamalbertkurniawan, for lending their time and talents! @bryanliiim @justinlouisesoriano @missnatemakeup ? ? Keith @styledby.keithangelo, for dressing me every single day, for being so reliable, for being my friend! Also to the designers, hair and makeup artists, photographers who helped make me look my very best. @christophermunar, @juliuspegarrojaguio, @bragaisjojo, @dookieducay, @theleiponce, @rxandy, @gerypenaso, @mykfeliciano, @carellgarciahairmakeup, @itocurata, @bessiebesana, @ulyssescaragayanofficial, @emanuelrinoza.
