MANILA, Philippines— Chelsea Manalo, Miss Universe Philippines 2024, has kept her pageant path under wraps.
During a recent interview with Phillnews.com at the opening of the Lacoste Pop-Up store in Greenbelt 5, Makati City, where Chelsea was a guest, the Filipino-American model asked not to be pressed about her pasarela, gown, national costume, and other preparations for her Miss Universe finals battle, where she will compete for the country’s fifth Miss Universe crown.
She did, however, assure everyone that the only thing keeping her busy right now is practicing for the tournament.
“Stick to their dreams, and never forget who you are in the process,” she told people seeking to follow in her footsteps. “Have fun and just enjoy!” — Deni Rose M. Afinidad-Bernardo shot the video, while Anjelica Andaya edited it.
