Celeste Cortesi
KINAKARIR ngayon ni Miss Universe Philippines 2022 Celeste Cortesi ang pag-aaral ng Tagalog para mas mapalawak ang maaari niyang gawing mga proyekto sa mundo ng showbiz.
Pinaghahandaan na kasi ng Pinay beauty queen ang kanyang future pagkatapos ng kanyang Miss Universe journey na naging kontrobersyal pa dahil hindi nga siya umabot sa Top 16 candidates.
“Now, I’m really just exploring. I really looking forward to my next step,” ang pahayag ng dalaga sa isang panayam.
Sey ni Celeste, “I am learning how to speak Tagalog, so I’m very focused on that. You know, I have time to learn.
“I’m just really excited on what’s to come. I just want to know more, I want to grow, I really wanna step out of my comfort zone, from what I’ve been doing for a long time.
“I’m just really excited to try new things. There’s a lot of opportunity. When a door closes, there’s another one that’s wide open,” pahayag ng dalaga sa panayam ng GMA.
Inamin naman ni Celeste na feeling “heartbroken” din siya tulad ng naramdaman ng lahat ng mga Pinoy sa pagkatalo niya sa Miss Universe 2022 pageant.
“You know, everybody is heartbroken about Miss Universe, me as well.
“But I’m really grateful that I really had a chance to represent the Philippines and I worked very, very, hard. I felt the love, I felt the support. At the end of the day, I’m just very grateful,” mensahe ng dalaga.
Dagdag pang pagbabahagi ni Celeste, “Honestly, it’s just very exciting. More than ever, I’m just really very, very grateful of my fans because no matter what they were always with me. Even when I didn’t enter the top 16, I felt so much support, so much love.
“You have no idea, I literally cried. They’re just so nice. And the fact that they can see the effort and hard work that I put into it…for me, it’s the most important thing because sometimes, you know, you don’t really need a crown to see.
“As long as you are yourself and as long as you really work very hard and keep growing and learning new things, eventually, you will find your own path. And that’s what really matters,” pahayag pa niya.
Samantala, nabanggit din ni Celeste sa naturang panayam na sa ngayon ay wala na siyang planong mag-join sa ibang beauty pageant.
“Well, honestly, as of the moment, I have no plans. I wanna focus more on my career. As I said earlier, I wanna try new things that I’m not comfortable with.
“I always say the importance of stepping out of your comfort zone to really grow and learn, and take the most out of it in every situation.
“Now, I’m not really thinking of a beauty pageant. But I never close my doors,” sey pa niya.
Nahingan din si Celeste ng mensahe para sa mga kandidatang maglalaban-laban sa Miss Universe Philippines 2023, “To enjoy the experience, to work very hard, of course, to not forget where you came from, and to be just humble in every situation.
“Really, enjoy, sometimes there’s so much pressure, so many opinions from different people. But for as long as you remain yourself, as long as you respect yourself first, everything will be okay,” sabi pa ni Celeste na agaw-eksena sa ending ng “Darna” ni Jane de Leon sa ABS-CBN.
