GANIEL Krishnan remarked that it has always been her dream to become a beauty queen.
This was after she announced that she is joining Miss World Philippines, her third pageant.
Ganiel was crowned Mutya ng Pilipinas Asia-Pacific International in 2016. She was then crowned second runner-up at the Miss Asia-Pacific International.
“I was a reporter first before I became a beauty queen for Mutya ng Pilipinas. Nung nag-start ako mag-TV, naisip ko rin [sumali] kasi ‘yung mga tao mismo, ‘yung mga fans ‘yung nagsasabi na ‘I think you can join beauty pageants,” she told ABS-CBN News.
According to the journalist, she is determined to win the Miss World Philippines title.
“It’s really Miss World or nothing because I am really aiming for the World. ‘Yun talaga ‘yung gusto ko,” she went on.
As a journalist, Ganiel said her mission is to share stories of people from all walks of life. She wants to amplify their stories through the beauty pageant platform.
The beauty queen continued, “I am deeply rooted in what I do as a journalist. My mission is to share their stories and the hopes of somehow alleviating their life situations and send across the message that helping is not hard to make a difference in this world. I hope I could amplify more voices, I could amplify more stories if ever I win the title.”(Push)
