Spotlight time for the representative of Angeles City in Miss Universe Philippines 2020. Her name is Christine Nicole F. Silvernale.

“Relocating to Metro Manila in pursuit of my studies has opened my eyes to what all the hustle, bustle and stress can do to a person like myself. Living and handling things on my own often left me feeling alone. And it didn’t help in silencing the noise inside my head. But as I went ahead and continued dealing with the world around me, I realized that other people felt the same way. Furthermore, during a time like this when a pandemic has us confined in our homes, we may – possibly more than usual – find it hard to deal with our inner turmoils. These instances have led me to think that my voice should be used towards creating safe spaces for people through Mental Health Awareness.”

“Of course, I haven’t forgotten to tend to my own needs as well, nurturing my past love for art through painting, my head space through reading, and my body through exercising, to which I have gotten the whole household to join in on. These are the things that keep me busy, happy and healthy nowadays. I hope that hearing about this inspires you to be attuned with yourselves too.”
