She explained that she feels entirely content and fulfilled with what she has already accomplished, stating firmly, "Wala na, tapos na ako sa pageantry. Ayoko na."

While many aspiring beauty queens view pageant stages as a lifelong platform for advocacy, Joy believes that her personal mission and voice do not require a competition sash to create an impact.

She elaborated on this perspective by sharing, "Kasi, di ba, laging sinasabi kapag magdyo-join ka ng pageant, ‘I want to use my platform, I want to use my voice.’ E, feeling ko nagagawa ko naman na siya kahit outside pageantry. Tsaka, okay na ako doon sa Miss Earth Philippines crown ko."

Reflecting warmly on her remarkable journey, Joy expressed immense gratitude for the unexpected doors that opened and the career milestones she achieved following her successful reign.

Rather than looking back or chasing another competitive crown, she is fully embracing her current path in the broadcasting industry.

"Very grateful na ako for all the opportunities. The doors that opened for me, even the windows, kung mayroon mang nagbukas. Sobrang happy na ako doon. And I feel like I’m living the best life ngayon. Thankful na ako, kaya ayoko nang bumalik sa pageantry. Mag-host na lang ako," she shared passionately.
