MANILA, Philippines – Another former volleyball player will be trying her lucky in the pageant scene.
On Tuesday, June 19, former Ateneo Lady Eagle player Therese Gaston posted a photo of her and co-candiates from the Miss Manila 2018 pageant, where she is one of the contestants.
On Instagram, she said about joining the pageant: “This journey is more than just for me but for all the women out there who believe in themselves and their capabilities despite what others or society only see them to be. Let only you define who you are and what you are meant to be.”
“To all my friends and supporters, thank you for always flooding me with messages of love and kindness. It’s hard to dwell on the negative when I am showered with support and love. See you all on coronation night June 26.”
Therese played volleyball for the Ateneo de Manila University. She was part of the championship team in 2015. She then applied to be a courtside reporter for ABS-CBN Sports.
Therese is the latest in a long list of athlete to join beauty contests. In March, former La Salle player and current Creamline Smashers star Michele Gumabao won the title of Bb Pilipinas Globe and will represent the country in the Miss Globe pageant scheduled later this year.
The Miss Manila pageant was revived in 2014 under former president and now Manila mayor Joseph Estrada. It aids the MARE Foundation Inc, an organization Estrada and his wife, former senator Loi Ejercito established for underprivileged Filipinos. – Rappler.com
