Katrina Dimaranan
MAKALIPAS ang 10 taon, tinatapos na ng Pinay beauty queen na si Katrina Dimaranan ang kanyang pageant journey.
Tatlong beauty pageant ang sinalihan ng dalaga sa loob ng isang dekada at sa puntong ito, naglabas siya ng announcement na hindi na siya sasali sa anumang national contest.
Kasabay nito, ibinalita rin niya sa pamamagitan ng social media na hindi pa siya makakauwi ng Pilipinas para makadalo sa Miss Universe Philippines 2022 na gaganapin sa April 30.
Nakatakda sana niyang ipasa ang kanyang korona sa susunod na tatanghaling Miss Universe Philippines Tourism ngayong taon.
“Along with issues with my US residency, I have been occupied and focused with my nursing career and believe me, I really tried to make it work,” simulang pagbabahagi ni Katrina.
“My 10-year journey has now come to an end, and I am eternally grateful for all of the memories I’ve shared with all of you, especially those who were with me since day one of this incredible journey.
“I am happy and at peace that I can finally close this chapter, and move forward to my next goals!” pahayag ng dalaga.
“I am extremely touched by the love, laughs and support many of you have given me and continue to give to me!” dagdag pa niya.
Nagsimula ang pageant journey ni Katrina noong 2012 at nanalong Binibining Pilipinas Tourism. Taong 2018 ng maging first runner-up sa Miss Supranational, kung saan ni-represent naman niya ang United States.
Bumalik si Katrina sa Pilipinas last year at muling nag-join sa Miss Universe Philippines 2021 kung saan nakuha nga niya ang Miss Universe Philippines Tourism.
“From 18 years old to now 28, my 10-year magical journey that was and is a vital part of my life.
“Where I met some of the most amazing people who became friends and family, and where I learned many life lessons and how I learned to open up my mind and my heart to other things going on outside of our personal lives.”
“All those sleepless nights, crying behind the scenes, the sisterhood, the celebrations, and the victories and the losses — I am beyond grateful. I will miss those moments.
“This journey helped me accept that my past, my hardships actually inspired someone to aim for greatness and follow their dreams,” mensahe pa ng Pinay beauty queen sa lahat ng kanyang supporters sa buong universe.
