<p>Miss Universe Philippines - Quezon City 2024 Cam Lagmay offered her advice to newly crowned successor Zoe Honeyman.</p><p>The beauty queen notes that it’s going to be a crazy ride, but it will ultimately make Zoe even better in the end.</p><p>&quot;Fasten your seatbelt! Like Pia Wurtzbach said, it&#x27;s going to be a fun, crazy ride. But no matter what happens, no matter the outcome, she will come out of this journey stronger, more confident, and more graceful. She&#x27;ll emerge as a woman who knows herself, her purpose, and is ready to share that with the entire universe,&quot; Cam shared.</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1738854623001rhzd.JPG" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>Cam had nothing but praise for the current representative of Quezon City for the Miss Universe Philippines this year, commending her for her strength and potential.</p><p>“I love her. I’ve had so many conversations with her behind the scenes, and I must say, she’s such a genuine soul. She had only been in the Philippines for two or three weeks prior to the pageant, and she adjusted so well. She has her family supporting and rallying behind her, and I know that she will really put her head down, work hard behind the scenes, and give a great run for Miss Universe Philippines - Quezon City,” Cam said.</p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-1" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DFnJkmnBS9m/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=607&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A6917215.199999999%2C%22ls%22%3A17012.5%2C%22le%22%3A17309.599999999977%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="906" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-1" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><strong><br/></strong></div><p>The beauty queen also reflected on her own journey, describing it as unexpected but rewarding.</p><div><br/></div><p>She went on, &quot;It was such an amazing journey.
