NANALO recently si Joyce Pilarsky bilang Mrs. Elite Elegante World International 2026, na ginanap sa Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Bukod sa nasabing korona, kabilang sa nakamit niyang special award dito ang Grand champion – Talent Competition, Grand winner – National Costume, 2nd Place – Best in Evening Gown (na siya mismo ang nag-design), at Most Popular Candidate.
Thankful siya sa nakamit na karangalan at sinabing proud siya na i-represent ang bansa.
Pahayag ni Ms. Joyce, “I praise and thank God that I won. I was so happy of course. It makes me proud to represent my country. Kasi roon, they call you by your country, not by name.
“I am just thankful I am still here at Age 71. Remember, I joined Miss Universe Quezon City… I was 69 years old, hindi ba?”
Aniya pa, “I sang, that made me grand champion sa talent competition. It goes to show that you just need to sing with your heart and soul and you will be a champion. Just believe in yourself, your abilities, and talents.”
Si Ms. Joyce ay isang aktres, singer, movie producer, model, at fashion and jewelry designer.
Naibalita rin niya ang kanyang single na pinamagatang “Walang Imposible”. Ito ay isinulat ni Vehnee Saturno. “Mayroon din akong single, ang title ay Walang Imposible,” matipid na kuwento niya.
Mayroon ba itong music video?
Sagot ni Ms. Joyce, “Yes, I have a music video, please listen to the song, it’s in Spotify and YouTube already.”
Nabanggit din niyang ito ay isang inspirational song.
“Yes, it’s an inspirational song… Nothing is impossible, you have to pursue your dream and never give up.
“Ang song is about hope, never giving up… Lagi lang mangarap, magdasal kay Lord, gawin ang inyong best and God will do the rest.
“Believe in yourself and your abilities. Smile at your problems, it will come to pass. I would like to inspire people, to follow their dreams at any age.”
Pagpapatuloy niya, “Makikita n’yo rin na ang tagumpay ay walang imposible. Kasi hindi ba, sumali ako sa Miss Universe two years ago, e 69 years old na ako that time.
“No one will ever think na one day i-change nila ang rules, ‘di ba ? E dream kong mag-join ng Miss Universe when I was younger, pero ayaw ng daddy ko, e. Kaya I didn’t pursue, iyon pala at age 69, makakasali pala ako.
“E ‘di sumali ako, marami akong na-inspire but of course, we can’t please everybody. May mga bashers din, pero hindi sila hadlang para tuparin ko ang pangarap ko.
“Looking back, am so thankful I was given the chance to compete. But after announcing the winners… I was only one of top ten. Later, we heard there was a video that leaked,” mahabang saad niya.
Esplika pa ni Ms. Joyce, “Transgender can join, married women, short, tall, older, but they will never win. That is why I understood, why everybody can join. Pero I didn’t let them stop me from joining.
“I am still thankful for the opportunity given to me, It’s still a dream come true. Something I thought was already impossible, became possible for me.”
Ano ang kanyang priority ngayon, showbiz or beauty pageant?
Sambit niya, “I will concentrate naman now sa music ko, pero I want to do more movies din, as an actress not a producer muna.
“Saka I also want to do some commercials and work sa TV as a host or consultant about health and wellness and beauty. Iyong mga ganoong topic sana.
“Tatapusin ko ang aking reign as Mrs. Elite Elegante World International, one year ito, e.”
Bukod sa pagiging ageless bilang beauty queen, magkakaroon din siya ng book launching this year. Marami pang plano si Ms. Joyce na kabilang sa pagtupad ng kanyang mga pangarap sa buhay, at iba pang proyekto na desidido siyang isakatuparan.
