Maria may strike you as Goddess-like distant in studio shots. Truth is, she is down-to-earth accessible.
Back in Cebu, she dabbles in event and cable TV hosting. Her gift of gab can be easily seen by the way she talks to people and big crowds. She can be the true charmer.
Sans make-up, platform heels and cocktail dress, though, Maria is just your typical girl next door who is as sweet to her parents as she is to her dear friends like Miss Cebu 2013 Neesha Murjani who took part in Bb. Pilipinas 2015. I wonder what important pageant tips they share among themselves during lull moments. Care to guess?
