Pauline Amelinckx
NAGHAYAG ng lubos na pagmamahal sa Pilipinas, at todong pasasalamat sa mga Pilipino si Pauline Amelinckx makaraang hiranging first runner-up sa 2023 Miss Supranational pageant sa Poland noong Hulyo 14 (Hulyo 15 sa Maynila).
“All my love to you, Philippines [Philippine flag emoji],” sinabi ng Belgian-Filipino model at host mula Bohol sa Facebook ngayong Hulyo 16, kasama ang isang larawang nagpapakitang iwinawagayway niya ang bandera ng Pilipinas sa entablado ng Miss Supranational sa Strzelecki Park Amphitheater sa Nowy Sacz.
“Ever since I stepped on our [national stage] it has been my greatest ambition to represent the [Philippines] internationally.
“It has been my greatest honor and pleasure to turn that ambition into reality and finally have been able to attach Philippines to my name [red heart emoji],” pagpapatuloy pa ni Amelinckx, na tatlong ulit sumali sa Miss Universe Philippines pageant bago nasungkit ang titulo bilang Miss Supranational Philippines.
Sinabi ni Amelinckx na nagtagumpay siya dahil sa “unwavering and ever-growing support” na natanggap mula sa mga taong naniwala sa kanya, at tumulong na hubugin siya bilang isang palabang Pilipinang ipinagmalaking ibandera ang bansa sa pandaigdigang entablado.
“I will have to make a separate post to thank the sea of people who lifted me up in this journey, but I really just wanted to share these thoughts and this victory with all of you,” aniya.
“It takes a great amount of dedication toward your own personal growth and belief in your own worth to see rejection as redirection. But one thing that I [learned] over the course of this journey is that we can tap into our inner strength to grow and bloom where life plants us,” dinagdag ni Amelinckx.

“I will be looking back and reflecting some more for a bit. But for now, know that I am immensely proud of our victory, grateful for the love, and excited to be back home. Daghang Salamat, Philippines [red heart emoji],” ibinahagi ni Amelinckx.
