Alexandra Faith Garcia
WINNER na winner ang Pinay beauty queen at tubong-Olongapo na si Alexandra Faith Garcia na siyang itinanghal na Miss Aura International 2021.
Ginanap ang nasabing international beauty pageant sa Rixos Sungate sa Antalya, Turkey last Sunday kasabay ng grand coronation night ng Miss World Philippines 2021 kung saan nagwagi naman si Tracy Perez ng Cebu.
Si Alexandra ang unang Filipina na nag-join sa Miss Aura International at siya ring unang nakapag-uwi ng titulo at korona para sa Pilipinas mula nang magsimula ang pageant noong 2006.
Idinaan ni Alexandra sa Instagram ang pagbabahagi sa madlang pipol ng naging experience niya sa nasabing international beauty contest.
“There are many ‘firsts’ that had happened in my Ms. Aura International 2021 journey and let me share some of them.
“I was appointed as the ‘first’ ever Filipina to compete in this year’s Ms. Aura International,” ang bahagi ng caption ni Alexandra sa kanyang IG post.
Pagpapatuloy pa niya, “Travelling to Turkey, I need to get a visa and it was actually my ‘first’ ever Visa. During the process, my team had encountered problems with their Passport renewals and Visa processing since it was ECQ during the time in Manila.
“I had my ‘first’ ever long flight and my ‘first’ ever International travel all by myself. Not to mention the luggages and boxes (containing my NatCos) that I need to carry (I didn’t know how I was able to summon all the strength to carry those baggages which are actually heavier than me),” lahad pa ng dalaga.
“Today, in my ‘first’ ever International Pageant I was crowned as the ‘first’ ever Filipina in Ms. Aura International,” dagdag pa niya.
Mensahe pa ni Alexandra, “I’m still in awe with all of the things that had happened. Thank you so much everyone for the love & support that you have given me. It would not be possible without all of you.
“Para sayo ito, Mahal kong Pilipinas,” ang pagbandera pa ni Alexandra sa napanalunang titulo.
Sa mga hindi pa nakakaalam, sumali na rin si Alexandra sa mga national pageants noon — sa Mutya ng Pilipinas 2014 at sa Binibining Pilipinas 2016.
