"I joined Mutya ng Taguig 2024 because I believe that beauty is not in the face and that beauty is a light in the heart. I am grateful for every precious moment life offers me and I want people to see the beauty in my 70 years of life experience and I want them to also feel grateful for theirs," FelizmeƱa posted on her Facebook Page.

FelizmeƱa, a mother of two and grandmother of nine, is a Political Affairs Officer II at the House of Representatives, according to her Facebook page.
