Sweet Little Revenge
at the pageant
In the small community of Buug, there was a family composed of three. Aling Nina, Mang Ben together with their only daughter Kathy May Ramiro. Aling Nina is a laundry woman while Mang Ben is a farmer but despite of their situation in life they did their best to send their daughter to school.
At the very young age, Kathy learned how to be independent. She knew how to find money for her own and for her parents. She understand the situation they are in, so when her mother have a laundry she help her. To think that it’s still enough so she decided to enter the world of pageantry.
