MANILA, Philippines - How far can a mother's love go?

For Suzanna Pavadee Vicheinrut Yuzon, it opens doors to a lot of possibilities.

Inspired by her daughter Johanna, who was born with Trisomy 21 or Down syndrome, Yuzon organized Asia's first pageant for young women with special needs.

Dubbed as "Miss Possibilities," the event participated by 15 young women who are special in their own ways was held on October 7 in Mango Tree Restaurant, Bonifacio Global City.

In an exclusive interview with Philstar.com, the former two-time Miss Thailand and Mrs. World shared how the project came about.
