“I stand before you today receiving my second chance. The pandemic rendered me jobless and hopeless. But through faith and perseverance, I rose again.
“But I realized that many Filipinos, countless Filipinos did not have the same opportunity as I did. Throughout the pandemic, I had the privilege of volunteering, raising funds, and serving the less fortunate in my country. I witnessed their situation and I realized that I will never be the same. And now, because of the pandemic, I choose to see people through the lens of empathy to give them kindness and to act in genuine selfless love. And to live a life that serves a purpose that is bigger than myself and is of service [to] my fellowmen,” she said.
