In a different post, the Magandang Dilag actress and TV host shared a glimpse of how she prepared for the said beauty pageant competition.
“Hindi biro ang pag sabak ng isang pageant. Yung preparasyon na dapat kumpleto susuotin pang araw-araw. Limang maleta at isang box na National Costume. Grabe, bigla ko naramdam ang pressure. Ochentang delegates ang makakalaban ko sa patimpalak ng @missplanetinternational,” she wrote in her caption.

“Salamat @bbpilipinasofficial sa pag bukas ng oportunidad at pinayagan tayo ilaban sa international stage sa tulong ng aking mentor @rodinb.flores at ang manager ko @sirwil75, buong Team KaFreshness sa pag train at knowledge na itinuro kay Hipon Girl niyo. Lord, gabayan mo ako at iligtas mo ako sa bawat araw ng journey ko. Salamat ng marami kay Manager @sirwil75 sa lahat ng sakripisyo at pag-aalaga sa amin ni Ate Madam Inutz. We love you po,” she continued.
