Whether you like to admit it or not, Ayn Bernos is the representation that we all need. She is, wait for it, the moment.
In this house, we stan a Filipina who breaks the mold, and Ayn Bernos is definitely proof of that and so much more. The Miss Universe Philippines candidate and social media personality always gets it right, not just whenever she talks about the colorism in the Philippines, but also in different aspects of social issues, motivating others, and pursuing your dreams.

The joke, however, is on them, because Ayn Bernos joined the pageant she knowing well she isn’t what others would file as “standard of the competition.” But being the woman that she is, she has taken it all in stride, proving naysayers wrong with every challenge aced and hearts won along the way.
