Marhay na Adlaw tabi sa indo gabos♥️As you may all know, I tested positive for COVID19.
I started to develop signs and symptoms on September 27, 2020, starting with nasal congestion and loss of sense of taste/smell. I occasionally feel like there’s something heavy on my chest. Fortunately, it’s bearable and didn’t progress to a more severe level of DOB (Difficulty of Breathing). I then started to manifest rashes accompanied by extreme itchiness and dry skin. I woke up last October 3 with red, itchy, and teary eyes. I was under a handful of medications for more than two weeks to manage my symptoms.
Following the 14-day quarantine, I was supposed to be released on October 8. As per protocol, I needed to be asymptomatic for three days before discharge. Unfortunately, I was still manifesting some symptoms.
Last October 11, DOH declared my dad and me as COVID SURVIVORS. Praise be to God!!
I’m forever grateful to each of you who invested so much time and effort in helping me through this journey; however, even with a strong will to fight, my body is not well conditioned yet.
With a heavy heart, I believe now is not the right time to join the pageant. I still feel tired, and I don’t think my body will allow me to participate in the activities of Miss Universe Philippines.
I hope you understand this is something beyond my control. I’ve thought hard and cried for so many nights about this. I have the willpower, but my body is not cooperating.
I’m praying for your utmost understanding.
I love you all!! Mahal na Mahal ko kamo!! 😭♥️
Salamatunon tabi sa gabos 🙏♥️
This is your Miss Universe Philippines SORSOGON 2020, Maria Isabela Galeria
I wish Maria Isabela Galeria the best of everything after this. But I hope she comes back in the pageant. I know pageantry is her stepping stone towards a big door of opportunities. I can see her as a perfect wearer of wings at the Victoria’s Secret.
That’s all.
Everythinh happens for a good reason. i’m sure this one is part of God’s will for you, Isabela. The best for you will come, in His time, more than we can all ever imagine. He happy. Be healthy. God bless.
Catwalks of Milan and Paris not MU. Swimsuit illustrated pwede din.
Sports Illustrated beh. But yeah I see where you’re going. Pwede rin namang she does all these while still preparing to join Miss Universe a few years from now
As the saying goes: look things from different perspectives. And now is the time to look beyond the realms of beauty pageants.
With her exotic look, lean physique, commendable “catwalk” and most importantly her youth, Anna Bayle would be a good template on how to carve an impressive career other than being a beauty queen aspirant. For as the girl goes to her 20’s and beyond, her prospect of landing lucrative modelling gigs dips down.
You’ll be a winnable representative of the Philippines next year.
Get well soon!
@ Raf NEXT YEAR??! Or, for Nepal 2022?
🙂
Do you realize what you’ve just unleashed, fren? Atty. Patitay will be sad…
Hindi rin naman sya ang mananalo ngayon. Masabuti na siguro na sa ibang year. Gusto ko rin sya magkaroon ng korona.
Siguradong blessing in disguise yan. Kapit lang.
Sali na for suprachat 2020 girl
Okay lang yan Isabela…may next year pa:) who knows baka ikaw ang manalo next year:) Welcome 2021!
So the rumors that she’s already at Baguio is false? I’ll w8 if due to some divine intervention, she suddenly pops up out of nowehere to compete this year…. If not, then it’s still a gr8 drumbeat for next year…
You are still very young, you can still join pageants. Most important is your health, pagaling ka agad at ingat lagi.
it’s sayang in a way, pero health is most important, the bonus part is She is still very young!
Understandable. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. She should try again next year.
Mercury Retrograde beginning yesterday hanggang Nov. 4, 2020. Then MUP 2020 sa Oct. 25, 2020. Kung ibabase natin sa dates then I would say mas malakas ang chances ng MUT 2020 Amanda na manalo over MUPh 2020 sa MU2020. Sana mali ako. Opinyon lang po ito ng isang taong naniniwala sa Astrological Timing since Mercury Retrograde now. God bless po sa lahat.
With or without Mercury Retograde, mas may chance talaga ang Thailand kesa sa Pinas sa upcoming MU, very recent pa ang mga panalo ng Pinas. Hindi kailangan ng Mercury Retograde para makitang palaban na ang pinapadala ng Thailand the past few years. Most pageant fans including guru Norman agree that the Thais deserve a third MU crown, and obviously the Thais are seriously pushing and working for it. If Amanda becomes the next MU, or performs better than the PH rep, it is because of the hard work of MUT and not because of Mercury Retograde.
defensive po tayo?
ikaw na po ang matalino sir
nabanggit ko lang naman. Nakakatakot naman pala magbanggit dito ng kung ano…ang daming matatalino pero di naman part ng MUPO….goodluck MUP
If Amanda becomes the next MU or performs better than the PH rep, it is because of the hardwork of MUT and the decision of MU org, not because of Mercury Retograde.
Very recent pa ang wins ng PH, medyo malabo pa ang sunod na crown, semis placement is acceptable, and higher placement for Thailand is very likely. Hindi kailangan ng Mercury Retograde para malaman yan.
Mercury Retograde pala ha, then name who will be the next MU, ganun, hindi yung obvious na.
Ganon pa din po yon. Try nyo po ang astrology baka makatulong personally…pero personally…totoo po ang Astrological timing at galaw ng stars at planets…ready na ko sa mga bashers pero still try nyo pa din po kasi baka makatulong sa decision-making. Miss Flor…comment na…isa ka pa naman sa mga hinahangan ko dito. Love you Miss Flor!!!
Di ko gets. Paano nasabi n mas malaki ang chance Thailand based on very recent wins. South Africa did it. Venezuela, back to back pa. So yung theory na very recent wins were countered na. Mas maniniwala pa ako sa hula kasi strike anywhere. Puwedeng ok puwedeng hinde. 😂
@Anonymous- so since alam mo na pala yan bakit nagkakagulo pa ang mga bakla kung sino ang MUPh 2020? Bakit di mo naman sinabi agad?
Totoo naman yun @Jonalyn na hindi kailangan ng Mercury ekek para malaman na namamayagpag at mamamayagpag ang Thailand sa MU this time. You are stating the obvious and associating it with your Mercury ekek as if hawak nun ang victory ng Thailand. Para mo na ring sinabing, based on Mercury ekek, mas may chance na manalo si Alaiza, Bella, Michelle at Pauline sa MUP kesa sa ibang candidates. Like, seriously?
Tapos may nagdisagree sa point mo, ang sagot mo “ikaw na matalino” “ang dami palang matatalino di naman part ng MUPO” “ready na ako sa bashers,” haiiist mga rebuttal ng mga ewan, at wala namang nambash sa yo oi, maygas I hate drugs, nakasinghot ka ata ng mercury.
Hindi masamang aralin ang galaw ng mga bituin at planeta, pero ating alalahanin na hindi hawak ng mga bituin ang ating kapalaran, gabay lamang sila, meron tayong free will gamitin natin ito.
bahala ka na sir…basta ikaw na matalino at baklang may pinag aralan…in the end ikaw lang naman ang nakakaalam sa intensyon mo…eh alam mo na pala since confident ka naman bakit di mo sinabihan ang MUPhO…nakakaloka, kaya madalas matalo ang mga rep natin kahit deserving manalo kasi ang tatalino nyo…minsan masama ang sobra. yon lang. I rest my case
Madalas daw matalo ang Ph ? Hindi yata nag monitor ang @Jocelyn na yan in the last ten years ng Miss Universe? Bakit … mas madalas ba ang France? ang Ghana? ang Egypt? Dapat maging grateful tayo sa performance ng Phl kahit semifinalist man lang dahil hindi naman sa lahat ng panahon sa atin ang korona. ( Well … ngayon lang siguro, top tayo sa coronavirus in ASEAN, hahaha!)
Dear Isabel, ok lang na ifeel mo ang sadness at frustration pero wag patatagalin ha. Tandaan mo na ang mas mahalaga ay ang kalusugan mo at buhay higit pa sa kahit na anong crown. May reason kung bakit ito nangyari. Basta wag lang susuko sa dream of becoming a beauty queen. Ramdam ko na darating ang time na isisigaw mo sa international stage ang, “Maria Isabela Galeria, Philippines!!!” God bless you!!!
Dear Isabel nagmamaktol niece at nephew ko.ikaw mup nila I told them covid is not an easy virus for the body to recover. Rest sali ka na Lang sa mwp hahaha wishful.pwede ka maging supra
