When Mindanao protégé Steffi Pacheco walked down the stage during the Top 20 Protégé presentation last Sunday, she did so with the confidence and projection of a supermodel.
Asked about her first ramp on TV, she said it was a dream-come-true.
“Siyempre masaya, na nakakakaba. Masaya kasi isa rin ‘to sa mga pangarap ko – yung makatungtong sa stage ng Protégé,” she said.
Steffi’s journey to the Protégé stage began when she auditioned in Davao.
“Nakakaba kasi marami ring mga magaganda at magagaling na nag-audition din. Napressure din kahit papaano pero naniniwala naman ako na kaya ko din pong patunayan na karapat-dapat akong mapili bilang protégé with the help din po of prayers,” she recalled.
