Sebastian joined Miss Ilocos Norte pageant as she represents Laoag City
Witness the captivating beauty of Nuelina Mhae Sebastian from Laoag City after her journey in Miss Ilocos Norte 2021.
Sebastian is currently a 2nd-year Tourism student at Northwestern University. Before she takes her step to Miss Ilocos Norte, she is the reigning Miss Laoag 2020 and Miss ABC 2019. Her pageant journey is challenging but she always makes it to the top.
She started joining beauty pageants in the year 2018. She joined the Miss Barangay pageant and after she was crowned, she tried to join Miss ABC in 2019, and she won.
Her journey started after she was crowned as Miss ABC 2019, bringing her to join Miss Laoag 2020. She was under the camp of Beauties and Brains back then. Among the 16 candidates of Miss Laoag, she was chosen to bring home the crown.
Sebastian does not stop there, but she takes her step to the next level. She joined Miss Ilocos Norte 2021 because she is motivated to join the prestigious event of the province.
“As Miss Laoag, it is my responsibility to represent my city in that stage. Aside from the responsibility, I was motivated because it is a huge avenue to help people during these trying times. This will give me more chance to help people, especially students in terms of education,” said Sebastian.
The competition of Miss Ilocos Norte was done via Facebook Live on Miss Ilocos Norte Facebook page. Sebastian’s journey is tough because she experienced being bullied along the way. She was about to give up but her fighting spirit wins.
Even if she does not bring home the crown, her experience in representing her city is more than enough. She stated that “Everything seems like a dream as they always say, a lot were called, but few were chosen. Because of this pageant, I was able to meet new friends – sisters, by the way. I have learned a lot, especially knowing some cultures and traditions of every municipality in the province. I also learned the value of appreciating the people around you and the importance of helping people even in the simplest way.”
