From living in a family where women reign in their own ways, it is no surprise that 𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐑𝐞𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐠 becomes one of them as well. She’s currently a Grade 12 student taking up the Accountancy, and Business Management strand in Elizabeth Seton School – Las Pinas, where she excels both in academics and in co-curricular activities.⁣⁣

“How can a woman feel empowered?”⁣⁣

⁣⁣

“To empower oneself, I can only see one way to achieve it – to accept and be yourself without the need to listen to society’s norms. Put on make-up even if society tells that you’re prettier without it, wear a bikini even if society tells that you show too much skin, play basketball even if society tells that it’s only for men. Through self-love and self-acceptance, you gain that power, knowledge, and respect you can share to each and every woman in this world, which they’ll use to do the same thing on how you empowered yourself. Why imitate Catriona Gray or Pia Wurtzbach when you can reign and just be your own Miss Universe?”⁣⁣
