Gabbi admitted that she has always envisioned herself winning the beauty pageant. She claimed that her answer to the question will always remain the same–– “it’s a childhood dream.”

“Paano ko ba sasabihin ito? In my case kasi, I always say this to all the interviews––– if you ask me if I want to join, it’s a childhood dream. I really envisioned myself walking [and] wearing the crown, etc.,” she shared.

Despite it being her childhood dream, she admitted that the reality now is things are more complicated than what people think. 

“But things are kind of complicated now that I’m in the industry–– I’m [in] my 11th year in the industry. It’s kind of more complicated at the backend. People do not see the behind the scenes which are more on the contracts, the papers, lockouts, brands, network, [etc.] so it gets complicated there,” she said.

The Kapuso actress, however, isn’t closing her doors just yet and revealed that she still has to “weigh things” on whether she would grab the opportunity or not. 

“We don’t know. Let's see if maaayos or I don’t know if it’s the right decision or it’s just something that  I really want. I have to weigh things,” she added.

“Of course, Michelle is a friend and likewise to her in everything that she’s gonna do, she also has my full support. She’s a friend so I’m grateful,” she ended.
