Carlo thanked the PEPP’s family, especially to the organization president Mr. Carlo Morris Galang and Mr. Laoag organizer Laoag councilor Handy Lao for their “unending support” since he started competing in pageants.

In his one-week stay in India, Mr. Pasion learned some of the cultures and environment.
