BNH: Proudest moment sa imong kinabuhi?
Anna: Siguro, katong nakoronahan ko isip Miss Asturias 2015. It was my first time to join a pageant and luckily won Miss Talent and the title. I was also proud of myself pag talent portion kay I played the guitar and sang in front of a huge crowd. I was proud of myself because I didn’t stop my dreams from happening because I let my faith grow more than my fears.
BNH: Kun ikaw ang mamahimong sunod nga Miss Cebu, unsa ka nga matang sa Miss Cebu ug unsa imong himuong proyekto?
Anna: Kung ako ang makoronahan isip Miss CEBU, I’ll be the Miss Cebu that WALKS THE TALK. A lot of people are gifted with knowledge and numerous game changing ideas but it takes one brave soul to actually be involved sa mga proyekto ilabi na para sa community sama sa mga tree planting, medical missions ug feeding programs ug lain pang mga activities that raises aspects in our city that is poorly sustained. A responsible title holder that bases actual facts on improving societal conditions and not disappointing them with words and promises I can’t really keep.
BNH: Unsa may greatest learning ni Anna sa kinabuhi?
Anna: The greatest learning nako sa akong life is to always look forward with hope and not backwards with regret. :)
