Ibe, who is called the “Pilot Beauty Queen” by her fans, plans to complete her training for a commercial pilot license which has been on hold amid pageant training.
“Before, I wanted to be a flight attendant. But why not a pilot?” Ibe said.
“I think if you’re really determined, there’s no hardest part… With being a pilot and a beauty queen, discipline is number one. Lahat naman, kakayanin [You can do anything],” she added.
