Hi, my name is Ella. I have been selected as a finalist in the Miss Philippines Australia 2025 Pageant and I am reaching out to you for your support.

This is more than a pageant for me - it’s a platform to give back, inspire, and connect. I grew up on a small island in the Philippines where access to education and basic resources was limited. At the age of five, I travelled 3 hours every day just to get to school. Now, as a project engineer in Australia, I’m using this opportunity to raise funds and awareness for children in need, and support youth education especially in remote and under-resourced communities in the Philippines.

This pageant is my platform to help children who are now walking the same path I once did - but who still lack the support they deserve. With your help, I hope to raise funds for:

Every dollar you give will go directly to children and students in need.

How You Can Support:

1. Donate via this GoFundMe (tax deductible, receipts can be provided)

2. Sponsor or Advertise - Get your business featured in the official Souvenir Program of the 35th Grand Philippine Fiesta Kultura – the biggest Filipino cultural event in Australia, attracting 30,000+ visitors.

3. In-Kind Donations - We welcome support through vouchers, venue use, or services

4. Get your door ticket to enjoy the Eat Bulaga live show, Miss Philippines Australia 2025 pageant, and the full fiesta experience!

5. Help spread the word - tell your friends, display posters, social media posts, etc.

6. Attend our upcoming events

This journey is a stepping stone to something bigger: the winner of Miss Philippines Australia will compete at Miss Universe Philippines 2026, with a chance to represent our heritage on the Miss Universe stage. While the crown would be an honour, my true mission is to create lasting impact in both Australia and the Philippines.

This is my final year of eligibility, and I want to make this journey meaningful - not just for me, but for the children we can uplift together.

Thank you so much!
