Resham Saeed is proud to be one of the first Muslim Filipinas 'to raise our flag' as Miss Supranational PHL 2019

Resham Saeed took to Instagram to express how proud she is to win Miss Supranational Philippines 2019 and to be "one of the first Muslim Pinoy to Raise our Flag."

She posted a series of photos of her winning moment on Sunday, when Jehza Huelar passed on her Miss Supranational Philippines crown to the Maguindanao bet.

"Yesterday blew me away. It challenged everything I believed and expected. Sorry about the delayed post but to truly express my gratitude, I had to sit down and let last night’s victory sink in," Resham wrote.

The beauty queen said she won't take the opportunity for granted as she feels honored to be given the responsibility to represent the Philippines internationally.

"The responsibility bestowed upon me to represent my people on an international level is a feeling I can’t describe. All I have to say at this time is that I’m extremely grateful and humbled and that this responsibility isn’t one I’ll take lightly," she said.

"I am proud to be one of the first Muslim Pinoys to raise our flag! Maramiing salamat and thank you to each and everyone of you who played a part in my success. This is all for you," she added.

Other queens who were crowned that evening include Gazini Ganados (Miss Universe Philippines), Patricia Magtanong (Miss International Philippines), Emma Mary Tiglao (Miss Intercontinental Philippines), Samantha Lo (Miss Grand International Philippines), Leren Mae Bautista (Miss Globe Philippines). — Jannielyn Ann Bigtas/LA, GMA News
