Mercegrace Raquel: “This is something unplanned”

I followed the tweets of Mercegrace Raquel (@mercegrace) during the final day (July 29) of Miss World Philippines 2013 screening. It was evident that she only decided to show up at Solaire Resort and Casino just before the closing of the extended deadline. She really had no solid intentions of joining this year. Otherwise, she would have attended the original dates of the first and second casting calls. Her heart was not into it, to sum it all up.

But now that MG has qualified, she should muster all the learnings acquired from Bb. Pilipinas 2013 and rise from that defeat to make her MWP journey more successful.

And yes, everything was unplanned. But the lovely lass from Nueva Ecija is just too happy that she did not change her mind and went with her gut. No regrets for the Team JDV bet!

How do you size up Mercegrace’s chances? Do you see her doing a lot better than Bb. Pilipinas Gold? Or will this be her last stab at pageant success?
