Next week will be a big one for comedienne and vlogger Herlene Budol also known as Hipon Girl as she aims for one of the titles of Binibining Pilipinas on July 31.

In an interview with 24 Oras, Herlene shared that all of her co-candidates have been preparing thoroughly for the grand coronation night of the pageant.

She said, “Ito na e. Ilalabas ko na po lahat ng pinaghirapan naming lahat.”

Herlene added, “Naipon po 'yung pagod, hirap na ito, isang bugahan lang. Sa tinagal-tagal po namin nag-training ng pasarela, ng Q&A-- konting oras lang po namin ibibigay 'yun sa isang stage 'di ba? Kaya sobrang excited po kaming lahat.”

Aside from the preparation for the grand coronation night, the past days proved to be memorable ones for Herlene.

She graduated from the College of Saint John Paul II with a degree in Bachelor of Science in Tourism Management.

What's more, her manager, Wilbert Tolentino also surprised her with a house and lot.

In his vlog, Wilbert explained that he wants this house to serve as an added motivation for Herlene to give her all during the pageant night.

“Every time na umiiyak siya nang nawala si Nanay Bireng lagi niya sinasabi, 'Nanay sorry, hindi mo naabot 'yung bahay'. Although si Hipon, alam talaga niya, iyon talaga 'yung pang motivatation ko sa kaniya--kung si Madam Inutz bago siya pumasok sa PBB magkakaroon na siya ng bahay."

He added,“Si Hipon naman bago siya pumasok sa BBP mero'n din siyang bahay, so bigyan na talaga niya ng effort ng times three, times five. Ibigay na niya lahat pinaka-energy niya, dahil one crown, one dream, one infinite possibility. Siyempre, one crown lang makuha niya, one crown can make her [a] superstar.”
