Janicel grew up impoverished in Puerto Princesa
City, Palawan. Her mom, a kasambahay [house helper] and her dad, a gasoline
boy, could never afford much; only food on the table for her and her siblings.
Janicel's tall frame and tanned skin earned her the nickname “tikbalang” among her friends and classmates.
But poverty and hurtful names could not stop Janicel from achieving her dreams. The “tikbalang” became a teen queen when she won Mutya ng Palawan in 2012. She has collected two more titles since then: Miss Scuba Philippines 2012 and Slimmer’s World Miss Bikini Philippines 2013.

So, from now on, let us popularize her queenly walk
as “TIKBALANG CATWALK.” Surely, this is a good news that will make Vice Ganda
smile.
