Cagayanon’s daughter is Miss Earth England 2015 Interview by MARK FRANCISCO Photos courtesy of KATRINA KENDALL
“I am from Bayabas, in CDO, where I noticed the love of Karaoke. It’s lovely to hear people singing freely!”
THE daughter of Floramae Manaya, a Cagayanon who migrated to England a few years back, was crowned as Miss Earth England 2015 at MacDonald Burlington Hotel in Birmingham, United Kingdom. Katrina Kendall, 26, represented Southwest London will compete at the Miss Earth pageant to be held in Vienna, Austria this December. Fresh from her win, Ms. Kendall granted this writer an exclusive interview. The following is the transcript: 1. According to one of my acquaintances here who claims to be a classmate of your mom in CDO, she said that your mom originated
from CDO and migrated there. What year would that have been that she migrated and married your dad? - My mum married my dad in CDO in early 1987. They moved together to the UK later that year. 2. How many siblings do you have? Can we mention their names/ ages/profession or stud entry? - I have three lovely sisters. We have a unique set of names; Kaarina (27), Katrina (26), Kerrica (18) and Kammara (16). My elder sister, Kaarina, is a model, actress and writer. She is a very beautiful and creative person. 3. As a kid, have you
had beauty pageant experiences? What about in your teen life? If so, who were your idol beauty queens then? - Miss Earth England was my first pageant experience, I came across it online in search for a way to channel my care for the environment. I really believe in its cause and am so thrilled to be a part of this journey. As my first pageant, I had to work and prepare incredibly hard for it, and it paid off. My family helped and supported me throughout the lead up to the final. I would say a mixture of their love and support and my natural talent that won me the crown. I couldn’t do it without them.
Before Miss Earth England I didn’t know much about the pageant world, so growing up my beauty idols were the beautiful women in my family. I’m learning everyday and my experience so far has been great. I have met some inspiring young women and hope to meet more in Austria at the final. 4. After college and now working as a scientist... prior to the Miss Earth England pageant, can you enumerate the beauty tilts that you were into and the respective awards that you’ve reaped? - I am a scientist by nature, always curious about the world and a kendall/PAGE 2
