The triumph of Chelsea Manalo, Miss Bulacan, has surprised many, I mean many, thousands of fans in the Philippines, and it is no wonder; the eyes of the followers of Miss Universe Philippines were on Ahtisa, representative of Quezon Province, and Alexis, representative of Iloilo City. Don't ask me why, because I don't know what arguments Filipino fans had to maximize these two candidates over several who did comply with absolutely everything that the most important beauty pageant in the world demands of its contenders.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that Miss Iloilo City and Miss Quezon Province have not been good candidates; it is simply that Miss Universe requires candidates with a natural charm, feminine, elegant, with the bearing and image of a queen, stage control, stage presence, and a forceful but measured catwalk and none of those acclaimed by the Filipino public met all those requirements. They were not the 'complete package".

That is why I will always recommend to my readers and followers to analyze the candidates and not get carried away by what others think, be yourselves and not be afraid to express yourself or recognize that your candidate is not always the one, but sometimes she is our favorite candidate sentimentally speaking.

By the way, I post my predictions on Facebook first, so you can follow me so you don't miss any and, Click Here! Let's find out more about the winner of the crown.

Who is Chelsea Manalo?

Chelsea is a young Filipino-American; she is 25 years old and began a successful modeling career at 14. She had already participated in national beauty pageants, such as Miss World Philippines 2017, where she managed to be part of the TOP15, but she could not advance further. She also participated in the reality show Global Asian Model Philippines in 2018, where she competed alongside other Filipinos to win the right to represent the country in an international competition with candidates from 20 Asian countries.

Her Social Project

The gorgeous queen has spoken openly about her lack of confidence in the past, due to the bullying she received as a teenager, for being a woman of color. Chelsea's social project is to provide support to young people from the indigenous communities of her country and make their problems visible through social networks and other media.

The winning answer

No one can deny that the beautiful Afro-Filipina gave the best response to the election and coronation night. Her beauty, bearing, intelligence, charisma, and modesty were, without a doubt, key factors for her today to wear the sash and the crown of the most important competition in her country.

The jury's question for her was: You are beautiful and confident. How will you use those qualities to empower others? And this was her response: "As a woman of color, I have always faced challenges in my life. I was told that beauty has standards, actually! But for me, I have always listened to and believed in my mother. Always believe in yourself, stay true to your values. Thanks to all this, I am already influencing many women who are facing me. As a transformative woman, I have 52 other delegates here with me who have helped me become the woman I am. Thank you ".
