Kay tagal kitang hinintay, para ika’y mawagayway. Sampung taon ang iginugol. Pagod, hirap, sakit ang pinagdaanan pero hindi ako sumuko. Sapagkat alam ko ang dahilan bakit kita sinimulan, kung bakit kita minahal. Ikaw ay aking buong pusong ipagmamalaki sa kahit ano mang kontinente mapunta dahil alam ko kahit nasaan man ako milyon-milyong tao ang walang sawang sumusuporta at nagmamahal. Laban Pilipinas! ????????????????

She penned a short love letter to the country, promising to do her absolute best to bring home the crown.

"Kay tagal kitang hinintay, para ika’y mawagayway. Sampung taon ang iginugol. Pagod, hirap, sakit ang pinagdaanan pero hindi ako sumuko. Sapagkat alam ko ang dahilan bakit kita sinimulan, kung bakit kita minahal," Emma wrote.

"Ikaw ay aking buong pusong ipagmamalaki sa kahit ano mang kontinente mapunta dahil alam ko kahit nasaan man ako milyon-milyong tao ang walang sawang sumusuporta at nagmamahal," she added. "Laban Pilipinas!"

The Miss Intercontinental 2019 pageant in Egypt is happening December 20.

Emma is aiming for a back-to-back win after the Philippines' Karen Gallman won the title last January.
