Prologue

"The first that I will call is the Miss Powerful Philippines and the remaining will automatic will be the first runner-up," anusyo ng MC.

Lahat nang tao ay naghihiyawan at ako ay pinanatili lang ang tindig habang nagkahawak-kamay kami sa natitira kong kasama. Lumingon naman ako sa may stage at nakita ko ang pag irap lang ng aking ina. Umiwas nalang ako ng tingin at pinanatili ko ang aura.

Whatever will be the result now...I will accept it with all my heart. Challenges will make me do this They help me with this. But the most I can't accept is that someone chooses me as the first friend he has.

Isang tunog ang nagkapakaba sa lahat ng tao. Lumingon ako sa taga-Pangasinan na kalaban ko.

"Congrats," I said to her even when the result is not out.

Ngumiti naman siya sa akin at hinaplos ang aking kamay.

"Congrats too. We made it girl," natatawa niyang sabi.

I made good contact with my co-candidates don't have to compete... is just a game on stage but on the outside, I will call them my friend.

"Step forward," anusyo ulit ng host.

I looked at him as I could feel the tension as he was leaving a gap. Mas lalong naghiyawan ang mga tao. Lalo na ang puso kong hindi ko mapatahan. Lumingon ako sa mga ilaw na tanging kami lang ang tinatamaan. Hinahanap ko ang rason kung bakit ako nandito.

I closed my eyes as the host slowly announced what the Miss Powerful Philippines will be.

Choosing your dream is not easy. Sometimes you will have to value and risk all of that so that your life will be fulfilling at the right time. Challenges will suddenly come your way. You have to be brave, strong, and fearless. But deep inside when I was young. They never believe in me... but I choose to leave in myself. That I can. That I can go with this.

Whatever the result will be... I will still risk my life just so I can tell them that I achieve it. Failure will come.. but failure will be the chance to lift your body again and make it an inspiration.

Failure and past will make you who you are right now. And not because of that.. I'm not here... fighting for the crown.

"And the Miss Powerful Philippines...... is!"

HIyawan na ang mas namamagitan sa akin ngayon. Pinanatli kong nakapikit ang aking mga mata habang sila ay wala ng ginawa kung 'di ipagsigawan ang bawat lugar na dinadala namin.

"Miss Davao!"

Napamulat ako roon. At agarang kumalas sa kasamahan ko. Lumingon ako sa kanya at bumeso lang siya sa akin.

"Congrats, Grace. You deserve the crown!"

Napaawang ang aking labi. Hindi ako makapaniwala sa resulta kahit binigay ko ang lahat. Agad nila akong inalalayan at binigyan ng sash at boquet. Huli na ang korona.

"Congrats!"unang bati ng isang reign.

I smiled.

"You deserve it, Grace. You nailed every move,"puri niya pa.

I nodded again.

As I did my first walk, everything seems a dream.

"Nanalo na ako, Addi! Pambato na ako!" proud kong ani nang makatapak sa backstage.

"Daddy!"I shouted as he entered my dressing room.

Sinalubong niya ako nang yakap.

"Congrats. You deserve the crown, anak," aniya.
