The call came last month.
“Are you willing to be the Miss Philippines Earth 2021?” asked Khim Roger Magtagad Laway, owner of The Art Nouveau Models.
No further question. Not one to shy away from any challenge, Jessyville Laviña Ugat
said, yes, of course. More calls and meetings and the deal was done.
Jessyville, one of the five province's country’s bet, will compete in the pageant on July 20.
But given the very limited time, Jessyville Laviña has to train harder.
Jessyville Laviña, 21, hails from Baclayon town. She holds a degree in BS Tourism Management major in Travel and Tour.
She stands 5’7” and weighs 113 lbs. She was crowned as Miss Baclayon Earth 2019.
An
environmental awareness advocate, Jessyville Laviña used to work as a
car sales representative in one of well-known companies in Bohol.
She is now an ESL teacher who loves traveling, dancing surfing the net, and reading inspirational messages.
“I
join Miss Philippines 2021 because I want to be the catalyst of change.
I want my advocacy to be heard, our Mother Earth is trying to get our
attention that is why it’s time for us to hear her cry, " she said.
"Let’s be part of solution. Let’s save our Mother Earth,” she added.

These money tips forwarded by Anthony Ceniza:
*Don’t bring your money with you.
*Cook at home.
*Buy your groceries in Public Market not in Malls weekly, not daily, not monthly. (Market: Ampalaya 50/kl vs Mall 147/kl)
*Remove unimportant expenses.
* Lower down the cost of your important expences. (Ex. Ganador 55/kl while Sinandoming 42/kl)
* Buy your own tumbler and bring your own water. Avoid buying outside. (Natures Spring 500ml 15.00 while if you bring its FREE)
*If you’re not in business don’t buy CAR.
COMMUTE: plete ka 8.00 x 2 x 26days = 416.00/month
While Car Expenses: 15k/month car + 5k/mo gas + 2k/mo parking = 22k/month
*Always set aside 20-30% of your income to your mandatory/disciplined savings.
What makes us poor is our bad spending habits.
