While the larger Miss Universe-Philippines pageant was happening in Pasay City on Saturday night, across the metro, a smaller, less extravagant pageant was happening also at the Henry Lee Irwin Theater at the Ateneo in Quezon City.

The smaller pageant may have less of the glitz, the glamour and the crowd, but the people who came made up for it by bringing a bigger heart to the event.

The bigger heart was evident in the celebrities who volunteered their time by being with the participants to the fashion walk together with their partners with disabilities on stage.

The organizers of the pageant, who have painstakingly brought the pageant back after three years of absence because of the pandemic, had their bigger heart to thank for, working voluntarily against all odds to make this possible.

The mothers, and some with their partners or the whole family, exhibited the bigger heart with the unconditional support to their children, something they have been doing since their birth.

Least of all were the candidates. Overcoming their disabilities and standing on stage to perform for the crowd for sure needed a bigger heart to overcome the fears and insecurities. But more than that, it is putting their heart to what they love to be, and what their loved ones around them want them to be, that can only be possible with a bigger heart.

First held in 2015, the Miss Possibilities pageant aims to convey the message that everything is "possible" for girls, even those with special needs, if you bring a big heart to it.
