Inamin ng dalaga na hindi naging madali para sa kanya ang mga pinagdaanan bago marating ang estado niya ngayon. Talagang dugo at pawis ang ipinuhunan niya para maabot ang pangarap na maging bet ng Pilipinas sa Miss Universe pageant

Patuloy pa niya, “The journey was an emotional rollercoaster, where I faced criticism, rejection, and self-doubt.
“I wouldn’t have it any other way, for it led me to self-discovery, growth, and empowerment.
“Sure it was difficult, but it helped me overcome my fears, confront my insecurities, and it pushed me to be the best version of my self.
“Thanks to all the people who supported me and believed in me. All this time, I didn’t wear the crown alone, I wore it together with all the people who helped me to get to where I am today.
“And I couldn’t be more grateful,” sabi pa niya.
Nauna rito, nag-post din siya sa IG ng kanyang saloobin sa pagpapasa niya ng korona sa susunod na reyna.
“We are a few days away from crowning the next Miss Universe Philippines. I can’t help but to reminisce the entire journey that contributed to who I am today.
“From all the struggles and hardships to the overwhelming support of everyone which I am very thankful for, and of course the once in a lifetime opportunity to represent the Philippines in an international stage.
“I have always seen my journey as a beauty queen similar to the transformation of a butterfly. Like the butterfly’s metamorphosis, this entire experience has led me towards self-discovery and empowerment.
“This butterfly is ready to spread her wings and to take flight to greater heights,” mensahe pa ni Celeste.
Celeste also called the journey an “emotional rollercoaster” where she was subject to self-doubt, self-criticism, and criticism, while also experiencing empowerment, growth, and self-discovery.
