UMABOT sa P250,000 ang nagastos ng beauty queen-actress na si Michelle Dee sa luggage pa lang na dala niya nang lumaban sa 2019 Miss World na ginanap sa London.
Ito ang inamin ng Kapuso TV host-actress sa kanyang latest vlog sa YouTube na ikina-shock ng kanyang fans at subscribers.
Naganap ang Miss World 2019 sa ExCel Stadium sa London, England noong Dec. 14, 2019 ngunit November pa lang ay naroon na siya para sa pre-pageant activities.
Halos isang buwan nag-stay doon si Michelle bilang representative ng Pilipinas dala ang pitong luggage na naglalaman ng lahat ng kakailanganin niya sa pageant.
“I’m gonna be completely honest with you guys and I’m not exaggerating the number, I spent around $4,000 to $5,000 to get all my luggage to London. It broke my bank,” ang simulang pahayag ni Michelle.
Isa sa mga rason kung bakit umabot sa ganu’ng halaga ang nagastos niya ay dahil sa biglang pagpapalit ng airlines para sa kanyang flight.
“I was supposed to fly out with our national carrier which didn’t happen because of some conflicts. So I ended up with an international airline and they charged $60 per kilogram,” paliwanag niya.
“Having my seven luggage plus my national costume, a suitcase full of shoes, a suitcase full of accessories, and a luggage full of winter clothes.
“I can’t arrive as Miss Philippines with incomplete stuff kasi no queen should compete with incomplete items. You never know what’s going to happen and you always want to be at your best because it’s a competition that you want to be fully prepared for,” lahad ng dalaga.
Patuloy pa niyang paliwanag, “I know that some of you might be surprised by that number. I know I was surprised also but I’m grateful because I was able to get myself to London on time.
“I did arrive on the day itself. Literally, on the first day I arrived, I went straight to the event. It was such a riot but I’m grateful for the experience because it taught me a lot of things. Be aware because $5,000 is no joke,” ang pagpapakatotoo ng Kapuso host na umabot sa Top 12 finalists ng Miss World 2019.
