Bago makamit ang korona ng Miss Belgium 2018, dumaan sa mabusising pagte-training at kompetisyon ang Pinay beauty queen na si Angeline Flor Pua at sa ngayon ay masaya naman siya sa kanyang achievement.
“It took me eight months of work to win the title. Before joining the Miss Belgium national pageant, we have to join first the regional pageant. I represented Antwerp and we were 35 candidates. I won Miss Antwerp and People’s Choice award. It’s difficult to collect votes, you know. You have to talk to people even if you don’t know them, you have to make them feel like you deserve to win,” kwento niya sa ABS-CBN News.
“I am also very proud that I have Filipino roots and that’s make me a unique Miss Belgium 2018,” dagdag pa niya.
Bagamat marami ang natuwa sa kanyang pagkapanalo, marami rin ang nag-react sa naging desisyon ng mga judges sa Miss Belgium at sinabing dapat ay sa mga “blonde” at “blue-eyed” beauty queens ang nanalo.
“It hurts a lot. It touches me very deeply but I was born in Belgium, I was raised in Belgium. I have Belgian nationality. My parents met each other in Belgium even if they are both Filipinos and I don’t see any reason why I can’t be Miss Belgium,” ani Pua na kauna-unahang Filipina na hinirang na Miss Belgium 2018.
Makakatunggali naman niya ang kapwa Pinay beauty queens niya sa nalalapit na international pageants.
“Yes, I will be competing with my fellow Filipina in Miss World or Miss Universe but I think we will support each other. I look forward to that. No hard feelings. Kababayan ko pa rin 'yun,” pagtatapos niya.
