Miss Belgium 2018 Angeline Flor Pua answered back to those who are questioning her right to win the crown
Miss Belgium 2018 Angeline Flor Pua who is a daughter of both Filipino parents with Chinese descent on her father’s side, somehow made Filipinos proud once again around the globe.
The recently concluded beauty pageant reached its popularity even in the Philippines as Pinoys knew that a Malay blood runs in her veins.
In a previous report, it was said that Angeline was really happy of what she has achieved because she did not expect to bring home the crown.
She will represent Belgium in either Miss Universe or Miss World competition this year.
On the other hand, there are those who are questioning why she won as Miss Belgium 2018, considering that her parents are both Filipinos.
It was mentioned in a report of kami.com.ph that there are people who said that the Filipina beauty queen is not deserving to win the national beauty pageant in the said country.
The report also said that Angeline received bashing for the reason that her hair is not blonde and her eyes are not blue.
In line with this, the beauty queen with Filipino roots answered those who are questioning her right to win the most prestigious title in Belgium’s beauty pageants.
“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,” Angeline Flor Pua iterated.
In addition, the Miss Belgium 2018 related how she struggled just to be in the competition.
According to her, she has been working for 8 long months just to have the greatest opportunity to wear the crown.
Aside from winning the crown in Miss Antwerp beauty pageant against 35 other lovely ladies, she also won the 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,” the Miss Belgium 2018 revealed, based on the report.
