  • Fatima wants Maria to compete in some type of beauty pageant that's going down in the village next month. After about an hour of beating a dead horse, I now understand what this contest is truly about. Join us for an hour-long discussion about the upcoming event. #Philippines #Lifestyle #Filipina #beautypageant

    The point is Maria can help the community through gaining donations, this should be the focus. Coronation as the Queen is recognition of the help provided. This provides a positive experience for all participants, contributors and contenstants.

    Marcos I've been taking care 3 little filipinas for about 8 years now. There daddy died overseas. The oldest is 16 the youngest is 10. These little girls call me and ask for permission to be involved in those types of events. I have to set the rules.

      How is it a scam? Nobody’s giving money to anybody; as I understand it, it’s about the amount of money that a backer has or is prepared to spend to prepare their candidate for the contest.

      Not a good idea, but you do what you like to do, however you need to have it in writing that you will get your money back, otherwise, that’s is crazy.

      @@bagladey what I understand is that the more money they put the better the chances for her to win. That is not a good contest if the money input to decide the outcome is a scam.

    Hello Fatima, I'm not Filipino and in my culture we do the same, but the organization gets 100% of the donation. Maria is Lovely, has Grace, and has a Wonderful disposition! My husband and I would like to donate, and send a gift. Do you have an address I can send to Maria? God Bless!

    Marko, another bigger issue that's not addressed is when they doll your daughter up be careful. Many local kuyas and uncles have a wrong mental mindset if you know what I mean. Too many stories of local dudes messing with the girls. Be very careful of that nonsense. I don't get involved with that crap and my daughter is always under my watchful eye. I don't trust most locals and not even her family as they are relaxed about such affairs.

    Really, Maria would win anyway! I do like Fatima being so competitive, nice.
    Did I hear that Fatima was a beauty queen and won before? Bro, I understand why she would want her daughter to win also, like a mother like daughter.
    The question is, who put up the big pesos for Fatima back then... I'm only in the beginning of the story.

      PART 5 OF 5
      🎊✨️🎉OUR DAUGHTER WON!!✨️🎉 ✨️🎊✨️🎉✨️
      🥹🥲🥲🤧🙆🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🫂🫶🏼💦
      SHE SCREAMED AS DID WE! SHE WAS SHAKING HARD‼️TEARS FLOWED FROM HER EYES. WE WERE ALL SHOCKED BUT HEY! ODDS OR NOT! WE CLEARLY SAW HER POTENTIAL DAY ONE TOO! THEN...WE SAW WHAT NO PARENT WANTS TO SEE....🥹😵😱😮😲😯😭💔
      THE OTHER GIRLS DAGGER EYED HER... 🗡 THE ENTIRE ROOM SAW THIS TOO...IT WAS SO SAD! 😔😭🥹💔
      I'VE NEVER SEEN SUCH JEALOUSY OVER SUCH A SIMPLE LITTLE; KIND; GIRL IN ALL MY LIFE! IT STUNNED ME‼️OUR DAUGHTER HANDLED IT SO MATURELY. WE WERE SO PROUD OF HER‼️
      CAMERAS WERE 💥📸💥 FLASHING & ROLLING!
      WE WERE TOO HAPPY TO BE CAUGHT UP IN THE DRAMA OF A FEW MOMMA'S & THEIR ANGRY DAUGHTER'S.
      THERE WERE SOOOO MANY LOVELY QUEEN'S GIFTS‼️ 😱 THERE WAS
      A FREE LIMOUSINE RENTAL UP TO 11 OTHER PEOPLE FOR 8 HOURS...WAS ONE OF THE GIFTS SHE SAVED FOR HER GRADUATION. A FREE OUTFIT TO WEAR EACH MONTH OR ANYTIME THERE WAS A NEW RIBBON ✂️ CUTTING CEREMONY FOR NEW BUSINESSES...OUR DAUGHTER WAS LIKE A KID IN A CANDY STORE; SELECTING HER NEW BUSINESS OUTFIT OR DRESS AND ACESSORIES. IF SHE LIKED IT; SHE COULD BUY IT AT 40% OFF. OUR DAUGHTER DID JUST SO TOO! THERE WAS NOOOOOOOO WAY WE EVER WERE GOING TO GET THAT KIND OR OPPORTUNITY EVER AGAIN!! YOU BETCHA WE BOUGHT EVERY OUTFIT! WAS GIVEN TO HER TO SELECT OF HER OWN CHOICE TO THE RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONIES OF NEW BUSINESSES. YOU CAN "BUY" THAT FREE OUTFIT YOU CHOSE TO WEAR AT 40% OFF . IT WAS SO GOOD FOR US TO HAVE THAT FOR REBECCA! THE GIRL GETS TO PICK...WHICH SHE BOUGHT EVERY OUTFIT AS 40% WAS A TREAT AT CLOTHESTIME...A LOCAL MERCHANT....WHERE MANY OF THE GOLETA GIRLS BOUGHT THEIR DISCOUNT; REALLY CUTE CLOTHES! (OUR TOWN OF "GOLETA" WAS JUST 5 MINUTES OUT OF SANTA BARBARA); PLUS THE WINNER RECEIVES MANY GIFTS FROM OVER 100 OTHER LOCAL MERCHANT'S. NOT LISTED AS THE GIFTS WERE LISTED FOR OUR DAUGHTER TO GO PICK UP IN THEIR STORE AS WELL SUCH AS 💅 MANICURES & PEDICURE APPTS. AND HAIR APPTS TOO!! I HAD NOOOOOOO IDEA HOW MANY BEAUTIFUL PRIZES THERE WERE! SHE ALSO RECEIVED A RHINESTONE CROWN FROM A LOCAL JEWELER. IT WAS VERY MUCH INVOLVED. I COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW CUT THROAT IT BECAME WITH HER QUEEN COURT...WHO DIDNT GET CHOSEN FOR QUEEN MARCO! SOME OF THESE GIRLS WERE SO BRUTALLY MEAN SPIRITED TO OUR DAUGHTER. REBECCA HAS SUCH A KIND HEART. ID NEVER SEEN SOOOOOOL MANY MEAN GIRLS!! AFTER ALL WAS SAID AND DONE... THE WEALTHY GET VERY UPSET WHEN THEY DONT WIN THINGS. "THIS" SHOCKED ME TOO MARCO. REBECCA WROTE ALL HER THANK YOU NOTES UPON HER GORGEOUS STATIONERY & US POSTAGE STAMPS SHE RECEIVED OF OVER $200.00 POSTAGE.! WE DIDNT PAY FOR ANYTHING MARCO! IT SEEMED IT ALL WAS INCLUDED WITHIN THE QUEEN GIFTS BECKY RECEIVED! SHE WROTE EACH ONE OF HER QUEEN COURT A THANK YOU LETTER BUT IT ALL FELL UPON DEAF EARS AS THEY HATED HER.
      BECKY TRIED TO FORGET ABOUT HOW THESE GIRLS WERE BEING. SHE INSTEAD FELT IT WAS A GOOD TIME TO PUT HER WRITING SKILLS TO WORK WHILE JOURNALING HER DAILY QUEEN ACTIVITIES. SHE READ THE BOOK AGAIN "GOLETA THE GOOD LAND" THAT I HAD OUR DAUGHTER READ THAT BOOK BY WALTER TOMPKINS WHEN SHE WAS A FRESHMAN IN HIGH SCHOOL. SHE ALSO ORDERED WITH HER OWN QUEEN $ ALL HER QUEEN COURT LITTLE TIARA 'S AS WE OVER-HEARD 1 OF THE GIRLS TELLING ANOTHER QUEEN COURT GIRL; HAD SHE GOT A TIARA; SHED NOT FEEL SO BADLY. I TOLD OUR DAUGHTER IF YOU WANT TO DO THIS; LETS 1ST TALK TO THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. THEY TOLD HER HER HEART WAS A KIND ONE. THEY TOO HAD SEEN HOW RUDE THESE GIRLS HAD BEEN TREATING OUR DAUGHTER. SHE WANTED TO GET ON BOARD RIGHT AWAY TO HER TEEN PHILANTHROPIC PROJECT TO GET A TEEN FRIDAY NIGHT PLACE TO GO HAVE FUN FOR ALL HIGH SCHOOLS IN THE AREA INCLUDINGI THE 8TH & 9TH GRADES TOO..ALONG WITH CHAPERONES. THE CITY TOLD US WE HAD TO HAVE AN EVEN RATIO.
      TODAY ITS STILL FUNCTIONING STRONG! ITS OUR DAUGHTER AND MY HUSBAND WHO WORKED SO HARD ON IT TOO. EACH GIRL WAS HAPPY TO RECEIVE THEIR TIARA BUT THEY DIDNT WANT TO DO ANYTHING INCLUDING THE PARADES. OUR DAUGHTER WENT SOLO UNTIL MANY OF THE QUEEN COURT GIRLS WERE GETTING BACK LASHED FOR BEING LAZY...SO THEY STARTED COMING TO MANY OF THE ACTIVITIES HELPING TIME TO TIME. WE WERE ABLE TO GET AN AMMENDMENT STARTED TO REPLACE THE QUEEN OF OUR CITY TO BE NAMED INSTEAD; THE LEMON FESTIVAL OUTSTANDING TEEN AWARD; WHERE A BOY OR A GIRL WOULD BE THE GOLETA VALLEY LEMON FESTIVAL OUTSTANDING TEEN FOR THE YEAR!! THIS BECAME A HUGE FRANCHISE TOO SINCE AN ENTIRE STRIP MALL OPENED UP WERE +100 NEW MERCHANT STORES OPENED UP & ENTIRE FIELD OF DREAMS WAS CREATED OUTSIDE WHERE WE USED TO LIVE WHERE IT WAS A DIRT FIELD FOR YEARS AND YEARS. ITS A GORGEOUS PARK NAME "GIRST PARK". PEOPLE THINK IT WAS NAMED AFTER US BUT THATS NOT TRUE. 🤣🤭! ITS REALLY THE PLACE FOR KIDS TO GO HAVE FUN NOW! .
      I'LL NEVER FORGET THE HAPPY TEARS THE DAY OUR LITTLE GIRL WAS CROWNED THE LAST QUEEN OF GOLETA IN 1991-1992. REBECCA GIRVIN. WE ALL CRIED AND SHE SCREAMED A LOUD SCREAM; ALIKE WHEN SHE WAS BORN! THEY ALL SAY SHE WAS THE HARDEST WORKING TEEN QUEEN EVER. WE BOUGHT HER A WHITE FORMAL SHE LOVED. SHE LOOKED LIKE A WEDDING CAKE TOPPER BUT WE DIDNT CARE. WE BOUGHT 2 SEARS CHEAP FORMALS OF THE SAME STYLE...ONE WAS COBALT BLUE SATIN & LACE WITH MATCHING COBALT BLUE SATIN PUMPS AND SHE WORE THAT TO MEMORIAL DAY & VETERANS DAY PARADES AND HER AT THE SANTA BARBARA SUNKEN GARDEN COURT HOUSE (GOOGLE IT....ITS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PLACE) WHERE SHE WAS ASKED TO READ A POEM AND LEAVE A BOUQUET OF FLOWERS UPON A STAND. INSTEAD OUR DAUGHTER MEMORIZED "THE FIELD OF FLANDERS" ... I THINK IT WAS CALLED. NOT A DRY EYE WAS THERE THAT DAY. SHE WORE HER MATCHING RED SATIN & LACE FORMAL WITH MATCHING RED SATIN PUMPS👠👠 FOR THE FIESTA AND THE 4TH OF JULY OR THE BLUE ONE FOR THE 4TH OF JULY . PARADE. SHE WORE HER RED SAME FORMAL BUT WORE RED HEART 📿NECKLACE & 👠👠🪭💄 💋MATCHING💄👄🫦 EARRINGS AND RED NAIL POLISH TOO.
      🫱🏽❤️🔴 ❣️💅❣️❤️🫲🏼THAT CHANGED THAT DRESS...FOR THE 😍💌🥰 VALENTINE'S DAY❤️‍🔥 PARADE. A LADY MADE HER A BEAUTIFUL PINK POOFY LAYERED FORMAL SHE WORE IN THE EASTER PARADE AND THE 🌸🌺LOMPOC; CALIFORNIA⚘️🌷💐🪻🏵 🌻🌼FLOWER🪷💮🌹🥀🌹🥀 FESTIVAL WHERE THE GIRLS SAT UPON CONVERTIBLES OR A REAL WORKING BLACK SMITH WOODEN FLOAT I SAT WITH HER UPON WHEN HER QUEEN COURT DIDNT SHOW UP. MY HUSBAND ALWAYS MADE SURE THERE 😋😋 WERE REFRESHMENTS & DRINKS THEREAFTER FOR ALL FLOAT AND CONVERTIBLE RIDERS & DRIVERS AS IT GETS🌂☂️PRETTY♨️🔥HOT🔥♨️ 🥵UNDER THE🔥HOT🔥 🌡📈🌞SUN☀️ ! DURING THE VETERANS DAY PARADE...A SHIP OF SAILORS DOCKED AND JOINED OUR DAUGHTER AND I IN THE PARADE AS WELL AS THE 4TH OF JULY PARADES. ALL 6 SAILORS WERE INVITED TO OUR HOUSE FOR DINNER. MY HUSBAND PICKED THEM UP AT THEIR SHIP ONCE THEIR ADMIRAL HEARD WHAT A NICE THING THEYD DONE. MY HUSBAND JOINED THEM THE NEXT PARADE IN WEARING HIS WHITE NAVY SAILOR UNIFORM TOO. IT STILL FIT! WE TOOK BY HAND 1000 BAGS OF FRESH COOKIES MADE THAT DAY OF MS. FIELDS COOKIES ; & WE HAND CARRIED DELIVERED TO THEIR SHIP! WE HAD SOOOOOOOO MANY FUN THINGS HAPPEN! MARCO! YOU GOTTA TRY IT WITH MARIA! IF SHE MAKES THIS PRINCESS OR QUEEN...YOU JUST MAY BE SHOCKED BY IT ALL LIKE WE WERE! IT HADNT A THING TO DO WITH $ BUT OUR SWEET DAUGHTER EXPERIENCE AND HER MERIT! IT ALSO OPENED UP SO MANY DOORS FOR OUR ALREADY VERY BUSY DAUGHTER! SHE BECAME COVER GIRL IN A MS. EMPIRE AMERICA PADGENT WHERE THEY INVITED HER TO COME REPRESENT OUR CITY GOLETA & COMPETE FOR THEIR PROGRAM SCHOLARSHIP TOO ! BECKY WON 1ST PLACE FOR HER "TALENT" CATAGORY IN A 🎵 🎶 MICHAEL JACKSON 🎵 🎶 ZOOT SUIT DANCE ROUTINE IN HER TALENT CONTEST...UPON A 🪑 CHAIR AND ITS RIM! SHE DIDNT HAVE ON HER SPAT SHOES BUT HER OUTFIT WAS SOOOOO COLORFUL THEY LOVED IT! THEN THE NEXT YEAR SHE WON "1ST RUNNER UP" SANTA BARBARA JAYCEES TEEN OF THE YEAR 1993-4 & MS PHYSICAL FITNESS 1ST PLACE & HER DANCE THEY GAVE A STANDING OVATION. SHE RECEIVED $1,500.00 SCHOLARSHIP THERE TOO. SHE WAS SOOOO BUSY IN DRILL TEAM; CHEERLEADING AND WRESTING MATMAIDS TOO IN SCHOOL. I THOUGHT MY HUSBAND AND I WERE GOING TO BE THE WORN OUT🤣🤭 BUSIEST PARENTS EVER! ALLLLLLLL THE KIDS CAME TO OUR DUPLEX WHENEVER A PARTY HIT...WE WERE YOUNG PARENTS. I THINK THATS WHY. WE WERE "NOT" TIRED THOUGH MARCO! HER THEN BOYFRIEND WAS VERY SUPPORTIVE TOO. HE WON THE RAFFLE OF A CAM RECORDER WHEN THEY WERE HUGE & REALLY BIG IN SIZE!

SHE DIDNT FINISH UCSB TEACHING AS SHE CHOSE TO BE A HR HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGER INSTEAD AND GRADUATED FROM CHAPMEN COLLEGE INSTEAD. IT MADE BETTER SENSE AND PAY IN HER LIFE. HER BOYFRIEND MARRIED A FILLIPINA AND I THINK HE IS IN SUBIC BAY WITH THEIR 2 KIDS. THEY DONT SPEAK.🤣🤭 ITS OK; SHES VERY HAPPY FOR HIM JUST THE SAME. SHE TOO IS MARRIED WITH 2 KIDS ALSO. I WAS A YOUNG 38 YEAR OLD MOM TO A 18 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WHEN SHE GRADUATED. MY HUSBAND AND I WERE VERY BUSY WITH OUR DAUGHTER'S LIFE. TRY IT MARCO. YOU MAY BE PLESANTLY SHOCKED & SURPRISED MARCO!PLEASE DONT LEAVE MARIA'S SIDE THOUGH! YOU'RE "HER" DAD!!

      PART 4 OF 5
      WE DID NOT AND WE COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THESE PARENTS OF THESE GIRLS WHO DIDNT FEEL OUR DAUGHTER BELONGED THERE WHEN ALIKE THEM...SHE MET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS SO WHY WOULD SHE NOT BELONG (IT HURT MARCO!! IT SHOULD NOT HAVE MATTERED EITHER; WHETHER WE AS A FAMILY WERE ELITE OR RICH OR NOT!) HOWEVER WE WERE HAVING SOOOOO MUCH FUN WITH THE WEEKS LONG FESTIVITIES!
      WE 3 SAW MORE & MORE MERCHANTS IN THOSE 7 DAYS WE'D NEVER SEEN HAD OUR DAUGHTER NOT BEEN BRAVE AS SHE WAS; TO CHOSEN TO RUN FOR QUEEN OF OUR CITY BACK IN 1991. SHE TOO KNEW THE ODDS WERE AGAINST HER; BUT WE WERE PROUD OF HER STICKING IT OUT AMONG SUCH HOSTILITY TOO. THATS THE PART THAT SADDENED ME THE MOST! We were not a prominent "NOR" a rich family. This CONTEST was BASED on an ESSAY; ONE'S MERIT; AND YET...NOT GETTING INVOLVED WITH ONE'S COMMUNITY FOR 7 DAY???... WE FELT THAT NEEDED TO CHANGE AND BE RE-WRITTEN FOR SURE! 20% was selling tickets to preserve "Stow House" in the HISTORICAL SOCIETY and meeting new Patrons in ones Community and getting involved. Every Candidate was asked to come to the Fiddlers Convention at Stow House; to go inside Stow House...get Familiar with it. ITS A GORGEOUS house Marco that ALL little kids have their Classroom picnics upon its grounds on "field trips". There is a adorable working train depot and post office in the gorgeous grounds that used to be walnut trees and lemon trees and alligator 🍐 pears better known as 🥑 avocados. There was a book "GOLETA THE GOOD LAND" By WALTER TOMPKINS I had our Daughter read in her beginning of her Freshman year in High School that tells of the HERITAGE of the City of GOLETA we lived in. I had NO idea how much her reading that book would play into all of this though!! The Airport's Planes; Trains ; & Automobiles day our Daughter & Husband got to go inside vintage pilots planes as well as fancy cars my Husband loved. Id bought our daughter in the beginning of the school year a black "skorts" coolot dress with tiny white flowers all over it that was quite popular then...but boy did it come in handy...at that Airport; climbing in and out of the Airplanes! They still had a dress code! They "HAD" to wear a dress!
      I'M SO GLAD MY HUSBAND TOOK LOTS OF PICTURES @ THE TRAIN; PLANES; & AUTOMOBILE DAYS. I ASKED HIM TO NOT FORGET TO WRITE DOWN THEIR NAMES...FOR HER SCRAP BOOK ID BE PUTTING TOGETHER! THIS IS WHEN MARCO...HAVING YOUR CELL PHONE AND ALL YOUR EQUIPMENT YOU HAVE NOWADAYS WHEN YOU VIDEO RECORD...WOULD HAVE HELPED US SOOOOOO MUCH BACK THEN!
      SO THE QUEEN CANDIDATES WAS NOT BASED THEN ON HOW MUCH THESE GIRLS GOT INVOLVED GOING TO THE FIDDLERS CONVENTION; THE FARMERS MARKET PLACE OR AT STOW HOUSE PICNIC FOR THE MERCHANTS & STOW HOUSE TICKET SALES; TRAIN; PLANES & AUTOMBILE DAY; TRAIN DEPOT DAY ON THE REAL TRAIN (IT WAS A BLAST!) AT STOW HOUSE; THE FEEDING DUCKS AT LAKE LOS CANEROS OUTSIDE STOW HOUSE LIVING QUARTERS; THE MEET & GREET AND TICKET SALE DAY; BEACH FRONT DAY OF BELIVE IT OR NOT (IT WAS IN OUR DAUGHTER'S ESSAY SHE'D PRE--WRITTEN (👍🏼👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼)...THAT WAS A SUPER BONUS DAY FOR US FOR SURE! I THINK THE QUEEN CANDIDATE'S REALLY MISSED OUT WHO CHOSE "NOT" TO ATTEND ALL THESE FUN LOVING TIMES WITH ALL THESE GIVING MERCHANTS! IT WAS SUCH A BLAST! ALMOST ALL WAS FREE FOR THE MOST PART! US NOT HAVING MUCH; HARDLY SPENT ANYTHING! (🚫$!) THESE MERCHANTS GAVE OHHHHH SOOOOO MUCH TO THESE QUEEN CANDIDATES WHO THE MAJORITY NEVER EVEN SHOWED UP! THIS REALLY DID SURPRISE ME PLUS THE PARENTS ALL ACTING SOOOOOO DISRESPECTFUL TOO?!
      ANYWAYS...THEY WERE WELL TO DO...AND THEY FELT ENTITLED I SUPPOSE; & PERHAPS THEY FELT THAT'S ALL THEY NEEDED TO DO...WAS SHOW UP ONLY FOR THE PANEL INTERVIEW AND THEN IN THEIR FORMAL WEAR; CORONATION! THIS BLEW MY MIND THEIR PARENTS ACTED THE SAME WAY! JUST SHOW UP FOR THE ESSAY PANEL INTERVIEW HOPING THAT WAS ENOUGH...AND SOMETIMES THATS SADLY HOW IT WAS RUN...HOWEVER "NOT" THIS TIME! IT had to do with a private essay and the 3 topics and a panel of GOLETA AMBASSADOR MERCHANTS ASKING QUESTIONS TO THESE TEEN CANDIDATES BEHIND CLOSED DOORS INDIVIDUALLY ALONG WITH THEM OVERLOOKING THEIR ESSAYS IN ADVANCE. NOBODY KNOWS WHATS BEING ASKED IN PRIVATE UNTIL THE DAY YOU ARE ASKED. THE GIRLS WEAR FORMALS "AFTER "THE VOTING HAD & HAS BEEN COMPLETED...TO THE DESIGNATED; FORMAL CORONATION DATE; THAT WAS HELD AT A LOCAL GOLETA BANK...A WEEK LATER...NOT A DAY LATER AS I STATED EARLIER. THE OUTFIT ALL CONTESTANTS WEAR TO THE PANEL QUESTIONAIRE...WAS THAT ALIKE THEYD WEAR TO AN INTERVIEW OF A JOB OR SOMETHING THEYD WEAR IN GOOD TASTE TO SCHOOL OR THEIR SUNDAY BEST. OUR DAUGHTER MUST HAVE CHANGED HER OUTFIT NERVOUSLY PRIOR TO HER INTERVIEW FOUR OR MORE TIMES BEFORE WE TOOK HER TO HER INTERVIEW...LOL!🤣🤭
      I THOUGHT HER LONG; SIMPLE TEENSY COTTON FLORAL DRESS WITH SIMPLE ; 2 INCH FLAT SHOES OF WHAT SHE WORE...SHE WAS DESCENT..AND SIMPLE REBECCA...SHE WAS BEING "HERSELF"; JUST BASIC BECKY". 🙂🙃🙂. OUR DAUGHTER ATTENDED ALL 7 DAYS OF EVENTS PRIOR TO THIS LAST & FINAL 7TH DAY OF EVENTS. THIS MEETING THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FUND RAISING FOR "STOW HOUSE" HISTORICAL SOCIETY'S HOUSE FOR RESTORATION WAS WHERE THE GIRLS 1ST MET ONE ANOTHER; ALONG WITH THE PARENTS; ETC. THERE WERE RICH & POOR GIRLS GOING FOR THIS. WE WERE NOT A RICH FAMILY...QUITE THE OPPOSITE. THERE WERE GIRLS WHO NEVER ATTENDED ANYTHING BUT HAD PROMINANT "FRIENDS" IN THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. OUR DAUGHTER MET VERY NICE PEOPLE. THE ODDS WERE AGAINST US AS OUR DAUGHTER WAS ONLY 15; THE YOUNGEST CANDIDATE; A SOPHOMORE...IN HIGH SCHOOL AND WE DIDNT KNOW ANYONE! HER ESSAY WAS SUBMITTED THE LAST NIGHT(7TH); AFTER ALLLLLLLL THESE ACTIVITIES; AS WERE EVERYBODY ELSES TOO. ITS TRUE SHE SOLD THE MOST TICKETS BUT THAT'S ONLY 20% OF THE VOTE. THE QUESTION WAS WHAT IS THE ANIMAL OF GOLETA YOU'D LIKE TO EMMULATE YOUR CITY TO USE AS A LOGO AND WHY...(I think she said the seagull; as they were everywhere); ;WHAT ACTIVITY WOULD YOU LIKE SEEN DONE IN YOUR CITY & WHY & WHAT FOOD OR THING YOU EAT SHOULD BE THE LOGO OF THE FESTIVAL & WHY. THEY HAD TO HAVE A "B" AVERAGE IN SCHOOL GRADES TOO TO ENTER. THE SCHOLARSHIP SENT OUR DAUGHTER IF SHE WON... TO COLLEGE ON THE RETIRED TEACHERS ASSOCIATION SCHOLARSHIP of $1,500.00 BUT IT WAS A STRICT SCHOLARSHIP. HER GRADES COULD NEVER BE BELOW A "B" AVERAGE IN COLLEGE. IF YOU GET BELOW A B AVERAGE; THEN YOU'RE PLACED ON A 2 SEMESTER; ACADEMIC PROBATION...THEN IF YOUR GRADES DONT COME UP TO A B AVERAGE...YOU LOSE YOUR SCHOLARSHIP AT ONCE. AT THAT TIME; REBECCA WANTED TO BE A ENGLISH TEACHER IN HIGH SCHOOL. SHE PICKED THE GOLETA LEMON AS THATS THE SPIRIT OF OUR CITY EARLY ON AS FACTORY WORKERS WORKED HARD IN THE CITY's 🍋 LEMON's FACTORY WAAAAAY BACK TO 1940's. SHE ALSO WANTED TO BRING BACK BEACH SAND SCULPTURES IN THE SAND AS IT WAS BEGINNING TO BECOME EXTINC WHICH FAMILIES USED TO GATHER AT OUR BEACHES DOING AS A TREND! SHE ALSO MENTIONED IT WAS A "FREE"; NO COST TO ANY FAMILY. SHE SAID MORE STUFF BUT ITS ALL FUZZY TO ME NOW. NO PARENTS WERE ALLOWED IN THE PRIVATE INTERVIEW. GOLETA FAMILIES NEEDED AN ACTIVITY AGAIN...THAT BROUGHT IN & GATHERED MASSIVE CROWDS TO GOLETA; WITH REVENUE BADLY NEEDED! I CANT REMEMBER ALL OUR DAUGHTER WROTE; OR SAID. SHE WAS AND IS A FANTASTIC WRITER. . IT WAS FREE OUR DAUGHTER WANTED THESE BEACH ACTIVITIES FREE FOR ALL FAMILIES; FOR ALL FAMILIES TO GET INVOLVED IN. OHHH! THEY HAD TO HAVE A PHILATHROPIC PROJECT ON KIDS BOREDOM AND HOW THEYD GO ABOUT "DOING IT". (WE PARENTS WERE TOLD LATER...THEY ALL SAT WITH THEIR MOUTHS
      👉🏼😱😮😲😖😵‍💫🥴😵👈🏼 AS SHE KNEW EXACTLY HOW TO IMPLEMENT AND COST WISE GET IT GOING AS SHE HAD ALREADY DONE HER RESEARCH ( THAT COMES FROM HER MOMMA; MY DAD & MY PATERNAL & MY MATERNAL GRANDPA'S TEACHING ME TO ALWAYS BE PREPARED BY DOING MY/YOUR RESEARCH! I TAUGHT OUR DAUGHTER THIS WAAAY LONG AGO!! SHE WENT TO THE CITY TO GET THE PROS/CONS AND COST EFFICIENCIES AND THEIR RULES & REGULATIONS; & SHE TIMED HERSELF TO NOT WASTE BORING THE PANEL WITH DETAILS IN LAYING IT ALL OUT. THEY TOLD MY HUSBAND & I SHE MAY BE TINY AND MIGHTY BUT SHE WAS A FIRECRACKER IN HIDING READY TO EXPLODE HER YOUTH TO GET THIS TEEN IDEA OF HERS TO WORK!🤣🤭🧨🔥💥💢💥 YEP! WE KNEW OUR
      💫🌠✨️"SPARKY"🌠✨️💫DAUGHTER OH SO WELL IN WHAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT HER TO US! THERE WAS ALOT MORE TO THIS ESSAY & INTERVIEW OF HERS. THERE WERE 9 PANEL MEMBERS YOU DO NOT KNOW WHO THEY'RE GOING TO BE EITHER. IF YOU WIN; YOU GET THAT SCHOLARSHIP IN ADDITION TO THE PLUS $5;000.00 & AT ANY ONE TIME ...THE QUEEN WINNER GETS TO KEEP THE CROWN; AND OVER 100+ GIFTS..
      ALLLLLLLL SOOOOOOO WONDERFUL TO RECALL. THEY WERE ALL ON 3 LONG TABLES AFTER THE CORONATION WINNING NIGHT...ALONG WITH CARDS BESIDES EACH PRIZE; AND WHO THE MERCHANT GIVER WAS FROM.

    G'day Mark from one Mark to another my opinion is a competition that is based on who has the most money for the 6-year-old daughter to win is a unfair competition to start with, as you said it is unfair for a foreigner to throw down copious amounts of cash when people in the village cannot compete with that money. We all want our children to win these competitions I think it's ok for 6-year-old children to go into a competition as long as they are dressed as children should be not to be dressed up like adults in a beauty pageant. I agree with your decision the children need to learn that win or lose is just all part build your character fro life and not to expect life to be easy. Cheers mate

    Mark. You're 100 percent right. Go with your gut on this one. You would be just creating a legacy for Maria of her Daddy fixing a contest so she could win. I understand the charity aspect of it, but not without it being a fair contest or something you have to work for.

    Hi Mark, long time watcher, first time comment, isipin ko...
    The unspoken communication from Fatima is compelling.
    Your summary of the the "dilemma" is thorough.
    I think i missed a few details. There are just 3 contestants, they are all invited or is there a per-selection process?
    Is the rich Amerikano included to raise more for the community if he will just buy the crown for his magandang anak babae.
    A true dilemma and you are showing excellent parenting at asawa skills.
    I hope Fatima will undersand. Sana ko Fatima maiitinderhan mo.

    The more money you put up, it helps the community out more. I understand you would feel bad for the other two girls that wouldn’t win, however if the shoe was on the other foot they more than likely would do the same thing. I would put the money up and give some money to the other two girls to make them happy. Everyone wins.

  • @kevinanderson1873

    Well my 2 cents…. Ask Maria, she will most likely want to participate just for experience if anything. And I’m sure us subscribers would contribute to her pageant fund… But.. I would also have some sort of prize for the other young girls just for participating when they are that young. I had one daughter that started at 2 n loved it, n one that didn’t want anything to do with it. Just see what lil Maria wants to do. And just from my experience in pageants she most certainly has the looks, personality and charisma. It could be a stepping stone to something much bigger in life for her.. who knows? But still make sure they ALL have take home prizes at the end tho. 💗

    As a mother & a woman I totally understand & get both sides of the argument about Maria & beauty pageant. It’s a sad shame there wasn’t more talk about dressing Maria as a little Princess& more about money. Of cause everyone will want Maria to win but on her own merits & not how much money you throw down. If I had a daughter I would want her to win too. Also as a mother I do have a worry & concern about parading my young daughter in front of strangers. Anyway Marcus you are on your own with this 😄 I would like to know more info about the pageant to be honest with you & what actually does Maria have to do??? Can’t wait to find out what happens. Seriously God bless you all 🥰💕🙏💕🫶

Hope you can afford your electric bill when it is over. Hope to see video on this.

  • @josephfronda-
    @josephfronda- 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Marcos, ask if the other candidates are fil am as well. Maybe that will even out the playing field. Since Fatima has been in these before, did she ever win, if yes, how so. I truly believe your 3k was a fair amount. I see it more of as a fundraising competition like back in the old days where we would compete to sell candy to friends and family to see who would be top place to win a prize. Of course the rich kids won because their parents bought all their inventory but the less fortunate kids still put on a good fight because they put in the hard work and hustle. I think it's a good learning experience to show that life is never easy and sometimes achieving goals require dedication to the purpose. Much love to you and your family, have fun and make happy memories with this whole process.

    Go for it. If Maria wins, her prize was her experience waving the crowd if there is a parade in town and wish the money will build a basketball court and Maria's name will be engraved on it. Don't be feel sorry about it you will actually help them realize when they grow older, they will make a lot of money incase their children will enter the same. It's been long accepted in the Philippines that all foreigners were rich. Of course, no bikini even though they will dress them as an adult we still view them as children. Filipinos are not pervert.

    to sell subscriptions to magazines. If you sold X-amount the winners would get a lLIMO ride to a Pizza place for lunch. I sis nor like the idea
    of the school turning the kids into sales people. I would just donate enough so Ryan could get his ride and pizza party. Show off to the other
