After 12 months of living up to her title as MassKara Queen 2007, we tapped Rosario for an in depth look into her life as Bacolod’s Princess and even the Region’s Ms. Tourism for the same year. Join us as we take a wild turn into see Rosario from different angle after the life-changing pageant.
Life with a crown is a bit difficult. From her simple beginnings, she literally had to learn how to put on her face every time she needs to go out for gatherings. Being in the limelight was a huge contrast to her low-profile status before the title. Yes, the pageant opened many opportunities for Rosario and even more exposure as offered by local publishings and TV show appearances.
One incident we remember happened while dinning at one of the fastfood chains in SM one a Saturday afternoon with Rosario. As we finished our meal, an aged woman came to our table to confirm if she is indeed seeing the MQ. Rosario smiled and soon was posing for a picture with the lady along with her grandson and the other members of their family (who claimed to be related to the Sales clan). Of course, many people were staring at the scenario and were whispering to each other “Te, siya gid to ya eh.”
Upon asking Rosario, she cherished the small things that all add up to the whole experience of a year as the MQ. She chuckles remembering how one of her brother’s classmates wrote a composition about her in class as part of his school work. One thing though never changed: Rosan is still as humble as before. Now, she expects a quieter life as the newly crowned MQ takes the center stage but hopes to have touched the lives of Bacolodnons in her own little way.
