Absolutely a stunning lady! Having graduated from Silliman University myself, I am so proud of her. She will do extremely well at the nationals in February. Just remember to always focus on the task at hand, Fatima. Be yourself. Get a good team working with you. Remember: Simplicity is key. Make us all proud and be the very best you can be to be the very first one to win the Miss Philippines Universe from Silliman University and from the city of gentle people, Dumaguete City!
