Zahra Bianca Saldua, who was crowned Miss Air Philippines in the national Miss Earth pageant in 2018, has joined the Philippine Army reserve force.

Saldua shared the personal achievement in a Facebook post on Monday, saying she is now a 2nd lieutenant in the Army Reserve Component.

“Since I was in college being part of ROTC, I always wanted to serve our country. I always wanted to help the people and I wanted to be a part of the future of the Philippine Army being its representative to the public.

“I have been with the Army for 3 years as their host for many events and saw the love they have for the country and its people. This a dream come true for me and I hope I can influence more of our youth to serve the people as well,” she wrote.

According to Saldua, she made her first steps to become part of the Army in 2016, when she was tapped to host the Senior Leaders’ Conference of the group.

She went on to thank Army officers who “helped me throughout this process and all those who are welcoming me as well and pushing me to make better contributions to our society.”

“I am honored and humbled by this experience,” she wrote.

Saldua’s announcement coincided with National Heroes Day. In light of the occasion, she also paid tribute to the “brave men and women, the unsung heroes of our nation” in the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
