Cebu City, Philippines — Kaye Rollins, an 18-year-old Filipino-American beauty queen and model, wants to share her advocacy.
Rollins, who is from Talisay City, said she hopes to help young people find their passion and interests.
“I believe an individual who is passionate about something becomes strong willed and filled with love,” she told Cebu Daily News Digital.
Rollins is one of the six young Cebuanas who made the cut in the Miss Teen Philippines – Central Visayas 2019 held at SM Seaside City Cebu last March 17.

She will represent Central Visayas in the Miss Teen Philippines on May 8, 2019, in Manila.
In order to promote her advocacy, Rollins urges the Department of Education (DepEd) to offer extra classes and create activities that will aid children who have not found their passion yet.
“My belief is that uniqueness, beauty, diversity, and culture are all fruit of the heart. We should teach our youth to open their hearts and thus open a world of endless possibilities,” she said.
Rollins is a senior high school student of the University of San Jose-Recoletos (USJ-R) Basak Campus.
She has earned several titles before. She was Miss South Town Centre 2016 and Miss Cesafi 2018 first runner-up for the high school division.
Why does Rollins likes to join pageants?
“I join pageants to help my introverted self out of my shell. Now that I have successfully left that shell, I join pageants to share my advocacies and beliefs with other young women who share the same passion,” she said.
For her, physical characteristics are such a shallow thing and it wilts away with the passing of time.
But the heart, however, can remain young and untarnished just as long as the individual who owns it stays kind and pure for the rest of his or her being.
“I think what I am trying to say is, I could care less about being a “beauty queen”, instead, I hope to be a queen of heart,” she said. /bmjo
