#TurningPhenomenal Series No. 12

Her name is Gezza Avila.

Neither a newbie nor an uber familiar face for some.

She reigned as Binibining Niyogyugan 2018, competed during Mutya ng Pilipinas Gold and went on to join the Ambassadress of the World Philippines where she earned the right to represent the country in the supposed inaugural edition of Miss Universal Ambassador that somehow failed to stage an international pageant.

Late last year, Gezza was appointed to be our representative to the Miss Elite International competition in Egypt. But it appears that going the #phenomenal route is more preferred. And I can only agree.

This Candelaria native is being talked about as the entry of Quezon Province in Miss Universe Philippines 2021. And this could be the biggest challenge in her pageant career. One she is ready to face head-on.

Allow me to share a documentary by Raphael Bosano shown on ABSCBN in the late night #NoFilter. It is about the journey of an aspiring beauty queen from scratch until her training at KF. Gezza Avila, newly-crowned Miss Universal Ambassadress Philippines 2019, was featured in the same, along with Rodgil Flores.
