New Miss Silliman 2006

Gretel Kelly delos Santos
Miss Business Administration
The first thing that you will notice when you meet Gretel de los Santos is her simplicity, especially when you see her around clad in jeans and shirt. Then she smiles, and you think how charmingly beautiful she is. For the rest of the time you are with her, you learn more about what she is made of.
Here is one instance.
“I’m happy. I like nature so I love green. And basically, I can just die for pizza, puto and chocolate,” the 17-year old starts, her eyes and mouth as expressive as she admits it is.
The honor student and debater adds, “Ballads, books, movies, I don’t know. When it comes to duties, I’m dedicated. What else can I say about myself? Well, my parents are a wonderful influence on my life.”
When asked about representing the College of Business Administration, she says, “Most people are actually intimidated when I say my course is accountancy. I just think it’s training for my mind.”
“I’m seeing this pageant as a means to improve myself. After all, Miss Silliman is the embodiment of the teachings of Christian faith. But, you know what? I like the fact that this pageant introduced me to a new set of friends. And we all have a goal to achieve in the end.” (by Nadine Amor)
