Klea Pineda joins Santacruzan, channels her inner Pia Wurtzbach

Kapuso actress Klea Pineda looked positively regal in a photo she posted on Tuesday — all dolled-up and clad in a blue gown, with a tall crown perched on her head.

Pineda as Reyna Elena in a Santacruzan declared that she "channeled her inner Pia Wurtzbach" to achieve the elegant look. 

The actress in an earlier interview revealed that she wants to start training for beauty pageants so she can conquer the stage three to four years from now. 

“Gusto ko nang mag-train this year para kapag sumali na ako, buo na ako at alam ko sa sarili ko na kaya ko na,” Klea said.

She also shared that she wanted to join pageants to become a role model for the youth. 

"To be a beauty queen is to inspire children to reach for their dreams. Kahit sa tingin nila imposible, ang message mo is to keep on trying hanggang sa makuha nila," she said.

It seems that Klea is one step closer to reaching her dream to become a beauty queen! — Jannielyn Ann Bigtas / AT, GMA News
