Anjo described H’Hen.
In an interview with PEP.ph, Santos expressed how proud he is of Nie.
“She was stunning, brave and queenly but most of all down to earth. Naiyak po ako, siyempre, nagalak… Natuwa ’cause H’Hen has also a little mix of Pinoy blood… I handled her for a month. I covered poise, stance and catwalk and make-up tutorial. Then, I designed a parasela fit for her and the gown she will wear…”
Anjo recalled how the national director of Miss Universe-Vietnam hired him to train H’Hen.
“I was taken because I trained Vietnamese beauties since 2014 po. Then through the national director of Miss Universe Vietnam, my friend, they hired me to train her. So yung mga kaibigan ko din sa Ho Chi Minh City na mga close ko ay nag-support to help kaya naging team po kami.”
