Celeste Cortesi also admitted that she felt pressure because of pageant fans’ expectations. “Sobrang hirap para sa akin kasi of course mataas ang expectations from others and also from me. I really thought I got this all I have to do is to work very hard and I will get it but at the end of the day we also need to understand that judges were looking for something else and it is fine,” she said.
The model also did not hide that she went through real depression a week after the pageant but she is grateful to everyone who supported her pageant journey until the end and she believes she did everything to win.
“Sobrang hirap para sa akin pero I have my family there so I was okay and of course I went through a very difficult time the weeks to follow but I know in my heart that the respect, the love and support that I gained from the Filipino fans is really more valuable than the Miss Universe crown, and I really really know that ginawa ko ang lahat para sa bansa,” she said.
Meanwhile, after the pageant, Celeste also plans to try showbiz and acting so now she is still studying to learn more Tagalog.
