With the photo being shared online, people were curious as to why this 17-year-old beauty queen chose to sell “biridbirid” or locally known here in Cebu as “siakoy.” She said that they had been selling “biridbirid” since she was still in grade four, but she had to stop last March due to the lockdown. With no makeup, minus the lavish gowns and headdresses, Afable in her casual clothes still managed to look beautiful while carrying a container full of “biridbirid” which she sells for P10 apiece.
