However, she eventually took the leap because of support from her partner. She was advised to stop resisting because there was no harm in trying.
I feel honored and humbled that I am one of the first tran swoman Cabin crew dito sa Philippines, this is something new and I hope it will spark a change sa kung paano ang pag tingin ng mga tao sa mga trans woman na hindi kami i box or i stereotype kasi tao din naman kami.
Capable din kami, normal lang din kami na tao and I am grateful na binigyan ako and Miss Jess Labares ng rare opportunity ng Cebu pacific Cebgo na i prove ang sarili namin na kaya namin maging cabin crew.
