"Before, my dream was only to represent the Philippines. I never really imagined that I would start an entirely new pageant here. I believe that this is given to me with a purpose, and that is to change the lives of people, This pageant is a platform for young Filipinas to achieve their fullest potential," noted Meiji who has been named the franchise holder of Miss CosmoWorld Philippines.
Her company called Cosmic Beauty Inc. will organize the Miss CosmoWorld Philippines 2023 search. With her in the project are noted personalities like pageant trainer Rodin "Rodgil" Flores as National Director, Joee Guilas as team advisor, lawyer Adel Reyes as legal counsel, and Laurens Jan "Didis" Domingo as Business Consultant.
The company pointed out the importance of achieving financial independence through financial literacy. It pointed out that "women empowerment should not be limited to promoting a woman's sense of self-worth, their ability to make their own choices, and their ability to influence social change."
Cheers! Fun all around as Miss CosmoWorld PH was launched in KAO Manila
Meiji revealed that with her exposure to the Malaysian financial market after winning the title, she can now share her thoughts and insights on becoming a truly independent woman to those who will join the pageant.
A grand launch was held last April 12 in KAO Manila in Newport World Resorts to introduce the pageant. The event was attended by Meiji's fellow beauty queens and members of the press who were treated to raffle prizes.
