On Thursday, Deejing’s ring, a family heirloom, was dropped by a staffer of the beauty pageant while the candidates were visiting the Hundred Islands as part of the pageant’s activities to promote environmental consciousness.
The search bore fruit as the ring was found and returned to Deejing on Friday night while she and the other contestants were in Capas, Tarlac.
The staff of the beauty pageant and personnel of the city government searched for the ring the moment it was reported missing but high tide prevented them from doing a thorough search.
Deejing turned gloomy and sat down crying, but she soon joined the other contestants in the activities. She said the ring was important to the family, noting that she represents the third generation to wear it.
