When she was asked about what made her won, Angelia answered humbly that it was God?s grace and His plans, and because of all the supports. This crowning night has become a very precious night for Angelia. ?This crowning night was not the end, but it was a new beginning for us to help each other in running the vision and mission for UPH. This event was priceless because it was not an ordinary journey, but it was a journey of faith that made all of the great experiences that I had built my character, which was not only becoming the ambassador of UPH, but also becoming the ambassador of grace?, Angelia continued. As Miss Congeniality, Deasy Juwita was also grateful for having an opportunity to participate in MUS 2012. ?By participating in MUS 2012, I made friends and became like a family with other finalists.
