Hannah wasn’t able to participate at the Cultural Attire Competition of Miss Philippines Earth because she needed to fly to Dubai to pick up stranded Overseas Filipino Workers.

Hannah said that she was planning to attend the pageant right after she got back from Dubai and that her costume is ready. 

But, because their departure time was changed, she arrived in the Philippines too late. 

She admitted that she felt sad for not being able to participate in the virtual pre-pageant contest but she also felt glad that she will be able to participate in the pageant culmination in a virtual coronation night on July 5. She is also happy she was able to be at service during the pandemic.

“Doing both of my passion during this pandemic. Even if I wasn’t able to wear my cultural costume last wednesday, I was given the chance to wear a different costume in service to the Filipino people," Hannah said. 

Hannah also gave thanks to Miss Philippines Earth for allowing her to serve and do what she had to do.

On her Instagram, she shared photos of her supposed costume for the pre-pageant competition she missed.

This year's pageant is a bit different from the way we are used to. The contestants showcased their traditional dresses virtually to stay safe during the pandemic. The grand coronation night will be held online on Sunday, 10 a.m.

On Instagram, Hannah shared photos of her supposed costume for the pre-pageant competition she missed.

Netizens send their admiration to Hannah, some says she really is a true queen, she is beautiful inside and out. She has a kind heart to serve and she is already a winner to every Filipinos.
