Miss Grand Int'l PHL 2018 Eva Patalinjug has a touching message for her younger self


Miss Grand International Philippines 2018 Eva Patalinjug dreams big. She has heart set on becoming the president of the Philippines someday and she is more than willing to work for it. 

In an interview with GMA News Online on Wednesday, Eva gave realistic answers — she knows that she has much to learn before she can talk about solutions to the country's problems and she said that she'll take it one step at a time. 

Eva's candid answers are paired with her openness about her insecurities, which she revealed are not just about her physical appearance. 

 

Welling up with tears, Eva revealed that she comes from a broken family and she feels a twinge when she sees other families who are together and happy. But she doesn't let it get to her, she said. 

"I continue pursuing my dreams and goals in life and because of all the hardships that I've been through, it made me strong and independent and it led me to where I am now," Eva shared.

Asked for a message for a young Eva, the beauty queen spoke kindly. 

"Continue what you're doing. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Don't be afraid to feel broken or feel down, because you will really meet that along the way," Eva said, "Just continue what you're doing, because you will really reach your goals and dreams in life."

Eva will be representing the Philippines in the 2018 Miss Grand International pageant, scheduled to be held in Myanmar in October. — LA, GMA News
