Rather than staying at home as plain housewives, these MassKara Queen candidates want to become career women someday.

Belinda Claire Thiel, 19, said she won't just stay at home because if she works, she can help in the expenses of their family. She also said she wants to earn her own money.

Thiel, a Filipino-German raised in Australia , is a first year Commerce student at the University of St. La Salle Bacolod and a music lover. She said she joined the MassKara Queen competition to experience the most celebrated pageant held in Bacolod City .

Meanwhile, Patricia Anne Soto Po, 18, said being a career woman will enable her to be independent.

Po , a second year Hospitality Management student of La Consolacion College-Bacolod, said being a career woman will not affect one's duties as a mother and as a wife so long as she can manage her time.

Po , who is fond of reading manga comics, watching Anime and drawing, said she joined the MassKara Queen tilt so other people may see her other side.

Thiel, who hails from Brgy. Banago, Bacolod , stands 5 feet and 6 ¼ inches tall, while Po of Villa Angela Subdivision, Brgy. Villamonte is 5 feet and 4 ¼ inches tall.

Other candidates for this year's search are Doanne Stephanie Peraren, Romelie Laura, Katrina Pearl Gomez, Maria Aika Uy, Louella Suataron, Annhela Montilla, Christine Daphne Villanueva and Maria Adora Uy.*APN
