Happy birthday, Herlene!
Magandang Dilag lead actress slash beauty queen, Herlene Nicole Budol, marks her 24th birthday today, August 23, 2023, with a meaningful photo shoot.
Draped in a breathtaking white couture masterpiece crafted by the renowned fashion designer Leo Almodal, Herlene stood tall with the Miss Philippines Tourism 2023 crown on her head.
What truly set this photo shoot apart was the setting—a house made of wood and corrugated sheets or yero in Tagalog.
The authenticity of this backdrop was further emphasized by the presence of clotheslines or sampayan adorned with laundry, creating a scene reminiscent of her humble beginnings.
A different image depicted Herlene within the kitchen of the same home, where the ceiling is merely a hand's reach away with a stretch.
Accompanying the captivating images was a heartfelt caption that read (published as is), "Ang sarap balik balikan ang buhay kung saan ka nagsimula."
This sentiment resonated with anyone who has embarked on a transformative journey, reminding the importance of reflecting on our roots.
