Yuli YoungCampbell

Young Campbell - 3rd Runner-Up

I’m was taking about a significant person that you need to know more than anyone else, his interests and dislikes, his strengths and the things that he need to improve at, most importantly to discover what does he really want in life, his goals and dreams that he wish to achieve. Now, I’m not talking about a knight in his shining armor, this doesn’t involve about having a romantic relationship (but if your suerte, it’s highly likely that you’ll meet the man of your dreams!). In my case I should use the word her instead of his because that significant person that I was talking about is no one else but myself.

Second Runner-up with 86.5% score is

Pepi De Leon

Kampeon Ng Pag-Ibig - 2nd Runner-up

gusto kong ma-experience ang mundo na kasama ang mga taong mahal ko sa buhay

First Runner-up with a score of 87% is

Jien Tumanda

Travelling for half an hour (that’s Tagaytay) or a half a day (that’s Bicol) is really worth all that pain in the butt from that long drive when you get to stand up, stretch a little and reach new grounds. That’s when you can spread your arms to the sun and say “Ninoy, thanks for Independence! I’m free!”. Travelling is freedom.

Feng Arts - 1st Runner-up
