When we talk about beauty pageants, we think only of the glitz and glamor; all sugar, spice, and everything nice. In this episode, Miss Philippines Earth 2019, Janelle Tee, lets us in to the side of beauty pageants we don’t see: the politics, the expenses, and how each pageant contestant has to scrounge and find ways to make her dream a reality. Janelle also talks about her pageant journey, from being a humble “probinsyana” to bagging the crown of one of the most prestigious pageants in the world.
