KYLIE Verzosa is among the many Filipina beauty queens who joined showbiz after their reign.
But her road to the crown was not an easy journey since she was shy and soft-spoken before joining Binibining Pilipinas.
The beauty queen-turned-actress attributed her confidence to her loss in the national pageant.
“Parang kailangan ko munang matalo para sabihin na gusto ko ito. Feeling ko, kaya ko ito. Bakit sila, bakit hindi ako ‘yung nanalo?’ ‘Yon ang nasa ulo ko. Feeling ko naman, deserve ko na manalo, pero bakit hindi ako nanalo?’” she shared.
Fueled by her failure, Verzosa joined the pageant anew and this time went on to win Miss International 2016, which also opened the showbiz doors for her.
“It comes with experience. It comes with failure. Noong nanalo ako ng Miss International, natalo muna ako sa Binibining Pilipinas, so that really helped me,” she admitted.
Verzosa, who is in a relationship with actor Jake Cuenca, said her pageant journey built her confidence which also helped her in showbiz.(ABS-CBN News)
