“My
biggest role model is King David. The time when Israel needed a king to replace
King Saul the people expected a tall, handsome and strong king but God chose
David, a small young boy who was talented and wise. I see myself as a small
young girl, equally talented and having a teachable heart that can make me
victorious as long as I believe that God would help me.”
Krystel Mengote, San Juan, La Union’s representative to the “Mutia
ti La Union 2013” always felt that people of shorter stature are always at the
other receiving end most specially in beauty pageants where the taller ones
lord it over in the runway and even in the awards. During the Miss San Juan
2012 Beauty Pageant, she thought it was all the same expectations again but she
won the crown and got the opportunity to represent her town in this years’ La
Union search. Her hopes have been amplified lately because Miss USA who is
known for her short stature but very beautiful and enigmatic face won the title
of Miss Universe 2012. Hope springs eternal for this young lady as she spoke of
her chances in winning the crown. She said is not going to be jarred from the
veterans in the competition because she does not only possess a pretty and
smiling face but she is full of immense talent. Height or no height, she will
give her best to represent San Juan, La Union which is known to have the a Miss
Young International, second runner-up in the person of Cita Avecilla (Miss
Young Philippines, 1970).

This young lady hopes to
become a flight attendant after graduation from College as she dreams to
explore different parts of the world. When asked if she is given the chance to
become a governor of La Union for one day, what kind of executive order will
she make to mark that her stay in the position? She answered: “ I will make an executive order that for
one whole day, everybody in the whole community of La Union would clean, plant
trees and make peace with everybody so that our province would retain its
distinction as the "Cleanest, Greenest and Safest" province in Region
1 and hopefully, be the best in the entire country.”
That’s a tall order for
everyone but not with this young lady who has only a big heart for service to
her community and province.
Keep up the good work Krystel..
