Below are excerpts from his interview with Max Ignacio:
“I was really nervous several days before the competition. I was excited to see Megan stand out in the gown I designed.
I was in a party during the pageant but I already saw Megan in the dress prior because I saw rehearsal pictures that morning on the internet.
I felt proud and honored, especially when she won. I felt really happy, not just because she was wearing my gown at that time, but because she did it!
She won the crown for our country. I was so proud. Parang when the previous Ms. World turned over the crown to Megan, parang kinoronahan na rin ako. I was really proud and happy. I think I’ll feel that way for a really long time.”
For 2014, will our Miss World representative be wearing another one of his originals for the London finals? I know what some of you might be thinking. But I’d like to believe that he will share his creative genius regardless of who will wear the Philippine country pin – most especially if Ms. Cory Quirino personally requests the same in order to extend the good luck.
What do you think, dear readers? ;-)
