To my Successor, Mikaela Opada, Miss Gay Bicolandia 2017, it will be a great year and for sure will also be a remarkable experience for you – but always remember that this entails a great responsibility. Responsibility to uphold on what is morally upright even many compromises with the wrong; responsibility to live with the highest possible ideals which is not as easy as it is in order to serve as an epitome to the people, especially to the young ones. Responsibility to be beautiful(inside and out) as a character of a true queen, to be a good son/daughter as what is to be expected to anybody of our age; and to follow what our beauty pageant mentor always tell us, “Wear the crown in your heart, and not in your head.” May you have a great year of reign ahead. Hail to the New Queen, Mikaela Opada, the 49th Miss Gay Bicolandia. #HailtoTheNewQueen #WelcomeToTheCourt #MGB2017 #ProudAgawaSister #iamqueenhugo #LimelightPrincess
