• Marilou Caygill's whole family fully supports their daughter Cataleya after noticing her interest in pageantry and modeling.
• Jane Estorque, having grown up in a loving family, poured her support into her daughter Maria Hall until she saw the potential in pageantry and charity work.

At a young age, the children willingly participate in Fiesta Kultura and other Filipino community events here in Australia, wearing their national attire to showcase the rich Filipino culture.

These children are not only excellent in ramp and stage performances, as their parents revealed they also have high grades in their classes and actively participate in extracurricular activities in their respective schools.

"The young Beauty Queens are hopeful that the time will come when they will also bring honour not only to their parents but also to the Philippines and the entire Filipino community here in Australia through their pageant endeavors.

In turn, their parents have promised to continue supporting their children until they achieve their dreams in life.
