In an Instagram post, Fuschia expressed her gratitude to everyone who helped her reach this milestone.
“PARA KA NINYO KINI
The past few weeks have been one of the most challenging phases in my life. Only a few people know what personal battles I have to go through going into the final stretch of the Miss International Queen Philippines pageant. It was a challenge to keep my focus but still, the show must go on and I have to put up a smile, stay strong and have faith in my creator,” she said.
