COVER STORY: Unseen Struggles | Miss Universe Philippines 2023

[@xandreasanchez2669]

agusan is the president of PsorPhil which is the only active organization in the philippines who is reaching out to other people who is struggling with psoriasis and help them cope with the incurable disease. Kung patagalan lang ng advocacy, she could've highlighted her children's right advocacy since her elementary days with an NGO na talagang founded ng mama nya mismo para makatulong sila sa mga bata pero talagang hinahighlight talaga ni agusan yung sa psoriasis specially ngayon dahil they're trying to pass the psor bill which is currently in review sa congress. Among the candidates, advocacy speaking, she's the most genuine out there.

[@imglaiza]

Jannarie’s advocacy on psoriasis is very unique and genuine.

[@rrcruz9907]

MUP should have a podcast and get these ladies talk more about theit advocacies even after the coronation. Love this!

[@arlevalin]

Absolutely! Miss Universe should continue supporting such important and relevant advocacies even if they already selected their winners. Makikita talaga na there is transformation and catalyst of change.

[@imglaiza]

Best speaker in this batch is hands down Nikki Breedveld. She’s full of substance, wisdom and very inspiring. I won’t forget her prelims interview, “You are your own oyster.” 👑

[@arleneauriemma2808]

Nickki is so sincere.

[@imglaiza]

@@arleneauriemma2808I agree. You can feel sincerity from her.

[@JoemarAnico]

IDK but i want her to win......

[@MarkYaco]

Beautiful and intelligent women. They will go far win or not win. They will be fine!

[@marlonhans7122]

Kudos Atty. Nikki🖤🖤🖤

[@gianv.6899]

Nikki (Taguig) may not be the standard in beauty pageants BUT DAMN When she speak, you'll listen, and grabe ang depth niya Huhuhu Miss Charm is perfect for herrrr

[@lyleladera6707]

Taguig is chef’s kiss. Ibang klase yung depth ng interviews niya. Not the usual fluff answers.

[@clydellotibus7824]

Ms. AGUSAN is so elegant and classy. Her advocacy is not common, genuinely unique. She spoke comes from within. VERY HONEST. Good luck ladies.

[@eugeneconde1]

shes one of my top 8 Dahlin

[@timzmanalili2334]

I can attest, she is my niece!

[@ecjhuiso7321]

This is what makes MUPh standout from the rest of the national pageants. They are putting emphasis on advocacies and the girl's story. And the org makes a good balance of the advocacies, women empowerment and other traditional elements of pageantry.

[@jiancatague6716]

Nakakaiyak naman po ito, sila 3 very eloquent and spontaneous 😢❤

[@tjmolatz]

Jannarie of Agusan is the President of the Psoriasis Philippines (PsorPhil) Youth Chapter/Sector. Janna aims to educate the public, promote understanding, and reduce the stigma surrounding Psoriasis. PsorPhil advocacy focuses on several key areas: Education and Awareness, Support and Resources, Advocacy, and Policy, & Research and Funding.

[@musicforlife5000]

Janna has a soothing pleasing voice that one won't get tired to listen to even though she's bringing with her a strong message to the universe. Go queen!

[@marjorietestrada4473]

I agree with the word “trying” . I always use it to inspire my patients to avoid saying “No I can’t “. Trying is such a helpful word that you tried your best and never give up no matter what you are going through.

[@tripsandtravels]

Just for these beautiful ladies, with physical struggles with psoriasis and flare ups during stressful situations, sharing it publicly is admirable. Psoriasis and autoimmune diseases are true struggles for a lot of people. Not something to hide or be ashamed of, but needed to be understood. Bravo.

[@starpowers1737]

Taguig is a great candidate to train Agusan when she will be sent to Miss U....Agusan is very candid....her beauty attracts everyone.

[@RicarteMorada]

wag na tayo mag ,because the conversation itself is the struggles of them and they open it for us to support and be kind to each other that just to this social media platform...so kudos to all candidates especially to these 3 ladies battling everyday....plus point kayo sa heaven.

[@dgmanila]

this is beautiful ❤

[@rossmarshalls7712]

Thank you Ladies for being so honest about admitting your struggles and articulating what you go through day by day, that your fear is real but facing it is bravery at its best. Watching this makes me see you in a different light and you’ve become more beautiful in my eyes. And yes, kindness goes a long way. I applaud you on your advocacy. Love you Ladies❤️

[@francisquinones1698]

[@arleneauriemma2808]

Doesnt come fr her heart.

[@arleneauriemma2808]

Major nya sa UST is COMMUNICATION & PUBLIC SPEAKING.When she talks hindi totoo.She had mental health advocacy just 2 fit in a criteria. She speaks like a politician.Never honest.Research her vlogs & posts. She's an impostor.

[@christinechavez-ir9sb]

Basher yern

[@Dric_MagiC]

@@arleneauriemma2808 I'm not a bias to any candidates. I'm just a pageant fan. I appreciate her in this video. If you wanna prove something pls. Provide evidence. If this is purely hate because you have a bias please stop.

THIS TRIO 🥰✨

[@redsniper8693]

Honestly, this is precisely why I have doubts about Miss Agusan. Kung may mga girls na kaya tumayo, sumabay at mag-compete against Miss Bohol, she is surely one of them. Sana, judges would not take her disease as a weakness.

[@Dric_MagiC]

You just have a bias. Agusan is not a front runner so why afraid of her? 😅

[@jiancatague6716]

Hopefully mag shine siya sa finals night at can represent international stage I love AGUSAN talaga also Pampanga ❤❤❤

[@redsniper8693]

@@Dric_MagiC bias to whom? To Miss Bohol? YES, I AM! I'm rooting for her. But Miss Agusan is one of those who could beat her.

[@Dric_MagiC]

This is a beautiful conversation but i want them to have a host that will set the direction of the conversation. Cause the conversation goes randomly but still love this 💕

[@bebeth47]

its random but real...nothing contived....Rare and raw... love this, too.

[@highland_persuasion]

I personally like it this way. Having a host does not necessarily mean that the conversation will be better guided or structured. Without a host or moderator, the girls can just speak freely without any inhibitions.

[@Dric_MagiC]

@@highland_persuasion it's better to have host because their is something they didn't discuss like working on fields. If the advocacy is real for sure they can share their experience working on the field... Meeting patients right. I think that part they didn't address.. because 3 of them wanted to be heard and wanted to say something.
