During the Binibining Pilipinas pageant on March 6 where she finished as 2nd Runner Up, Henson was awarded Miss Photogenic, Miss Philippine Air Lines and Miss Del Monte Fit 'N Right.
The beauty queen from Pampanga said up until now she is still in shock, adding that it has always been her dream to become a beauty queen. She admitted that she is excited and nervous at the same time.
She said she hopes her lucky charm, a rosary given by her mother who died, will work when she competes in the beauty contest, which will be held either in August or September.
To continue her dream, Henson is now currently one of the pioneering candidates of the new Miss World Philippines pageant. She hopes to be the first Miss World of the country.
But sadly, it was not a fairytale ending for the pampangeña again as Gwendolyn Ruais was crowned MIss World Philippines.
