Congratulations to the Grandma Universe Pageant Winner

Agnes Jakosalem, a participant of the Grandparenting ministry from the Philippines won the 2017 Mrs. Grandma Universe pageant.

At 51, it didn’t occur to Agnes Jakosalem to compete in a beauty pageant, more so bringing home the first crown for the Philippines in this year’s Mrs. Grandma Universe held in Sofia, Bulgaria last Jan. 22. But she did bring home the honors.

When I congratulated Agnes she wrote, “I am thankful for your Grandparenting with a Purpose ministry, it really helped me in my journey.  I believe that God has a real purpose with all that is happening in my life and I pray that He will guide me and make me persevere. To God be the Glory!” For her advocacy of “grandparenting with a purpose,” Agnes maintains that grandparents should pray for their grandchildren and teach them the right values in life.

Asked how she maintains her good looks, Agnes said, “My strong relationship with God helps me stay happy and I hold no grudges against anyone. I also work hard for my family and doing so demands an active lifestyle,” she said.
