MANILA, Philippines - Hillarie Parungao said she did not expect to win the Miss World Philippines 2015 despite winning several special awards early in the competition.
"I was praying so hard... It's so surreal to see (Valerie Weigmann, Miss World Philippines 2014) come up to me and put the crown on my head," the 24-year-old beauty queen said in an interview after the pageant on Sunday night.

She added: "It's something I would really treasure for the rest of my life."
Although the Miss World Philippines 2015 is not her first beauty contest (she joined the Miss Asia Pacific World pageant in South Korea last year), it is Hillarie's first national pageant.
Winning the title, she said, is a dream come true.
The Nueva Vizacaya native will represent the Philippines in the upcoming Miss World 2015 beauty pageant in China.
"As of now, I don't want to promise anything, just that I would do my best in China," Parungao said.
