”We are crowned Ms.Eco Teen International 2020,” the Pinay beauty queen declared.
“Thank you to all of you who stayed and waited until 5am for the announcement.
”Philippines all these experiences will not be possible (if) it wasn’t from you and the greatest people I have worked and deal with in this journey,” she concluded.
