\u201cI am so happy. It feels like a dream come true for my daughter because she always dreams of going to other countries,\u201d said the elder Sabino.<\/p>\n

Bernice Sabino, however, always had big plans for herself competitively. <\/p>\n

\u201cShe keeps on asking me when she would be joining big competitions,\u201d said Sheryl swelling with pride. \u201cWhen we had the chance, we told her to just do her best.\u201d<\/p>\n

Besides winning the 2016 iPOP CNMI, Bernice has also won other competitions such as the CNMI\u2019s Got Talent and the Marianas Idol. <\/p>\n

Jessica Castro, the event coordinator of iPOP CNMI, said that the iPOP CNMI event was a way to showcase the pool of talents the CNMI had to offer. <\/p>\n
