“I felt really honored,” Esparrago told reporters after her coronation. “But honestly, I was surprised every single time because every girl worked so hard. They were all deserving. When the sash was on me, I felt all of the support and my hard work being recognized.”
Despite her strong performance, Esparrago said she never expected that she would win the title and simply wanted to “live in the moment” of representing Quezon City.

“I did a lot of runway training, my main goal was that the first step on the stage was full of aura and exuded confidence. Rampa is different from pasarela. I was challenged at first, but at the end of the day, when we started coronation, I just trusted in my training,” she said.

In a statement on Wednesday, the internet service provider said that Infinera would supply the submarine line terminal equipment, which facilitates the data transmission, for the fiber cable project.
While the reigning titleholder is Thea Casuncad from the Philippines, Esparrago is excited to raise the country’s flag.
“I am so excited for my first international pageant to be here in the Philippines. It is a great opportunity for our tourism. It’s a great chance to showcase our fashion designers, creatives, photographers, makeup artists, and hairstylists. They bring beauty to beauty pageants,” she said.
“Thea is such a wonderful model. These are big footsteps to follow. It’s a lot of pressure but it will make me work harder, train more, and hopefully, do my best on that stage to bag that crown,” Esparrago further added.

“I was in the food court in Cebu and someone approached me and asked if I would like to [try] pageantry. I gave it some time, but I really wanted to take a risk and [develop] my confidence. I said yes, and since then, modeling and pageantry have been a part of my life,” she recalled.
