KEYLYN'S EDGE OVER OTHER MGI ALL STARS CANDIDATES
Ang kanyang edad at karunungan o wisdom ang sagot ni Keylyn nang itanong ng Cabinet Files ang lamang niya sa mga kandidata ng MGI All Stars.
“I think my edge is my wisdom, my age, my maturity. Kasi iba rin naman yung knowledge when it comes to time. Very important yan.
“A lot of people think na you have to be by book or matalino ka dahil what you’ve learned from school or because of recognition or because of a degree, but it’s not.
“Actually, the greatest knowledge is time, life and experience, and I think I have that.
"And I fought for a lot of things not only nationally but globally. And I wanted to bring that aspect dito, which is why force it? Huwag nating pilitin. Dahan-dahan.
“Last year, ako pa lang yung first trans woman na lumaban sa buong mundo for Middle East and Asia.
"Ngayon, ang dami na namin, so it means effective yung ginagawa ko. Effective yung ipinaglalaban ko.
"Pero hindi kailangan mangyari agad. Let’s see na lang how the world can adapt to it, the world can evolve through it.
"And then let’s do it one step at a time. One crown at a time,” mahabang sagot ni Keylyn.
KEYLYN CONFIDENT ABOUT WINNING THE FIRST MGI ALL STARS CROWN
Naniniwala si Keylyn na malaki ang tsansa niyang maiuwi ang kauna-unahang korona ng MGI All Stars.
“A lot of people think us, of course, a person like me, they think that most of the time, we are included in the pageant because of becoming a marketing thing or inclusivity pick.
"But this time, it’s a different ballgame.
“Same organization but different platform, different stage.
"Being chosen by Tito ALV [Arnold Vegafria], I will always make him proud.
“I don’t want to be boastful but I think we have a 99.9 percent chance of winning. The one percent is my performance.
“I don’t want to be perfect because nothing is perfect, but I can be almost perfect for Tito ALV, to bring him the first MGI All Stars crown.”
