Hirit ng mga kapwa kandidata ni Tracy Perez sa Miss World: Iba raw ako sa naiisip nilang Miss Philippines
Trace Maureen Perez
AMINADO si Miss World-Philippines 2021 Tracy Maureen Perez na kailangan niya uling karirin ang paghahanda para sa magiging laban niya sa Miss World 2021 grand coronation.
Nakabalik na ng Manila ang Pinay beauty queen mula sa Cebu kung saan nakiisa siya sa tuluy-tuloy na relief mission para sa mga kababayan nating nasalanta ng bagyong Odette.
Ayon kay Tracy, matapos ang long holiday at ilang araw na pananatili sa Cebu, kailangan niya uling mag-prepare “physically and mentally” bilang representative ng Pilipinas sa Miss World 2021 na gaganapin sa March 16 sa Coliseo Jose Miguel Agrelot, Puerto Rico.
Feeling kasi ng dalaga, medyo nawala ang focus niya sa nasabing international pageant dahil sa haba ng kanyang bakasyon at sa pagtulong niya sa mga relief mission sa Cebu.
“We, all 97 contestants, were called for a meeting in the morning of December 16 and were informed of the postponement. From there, I visited my relatives in Oceanside, San Diego in California.
“It was my first time in the States and I spent the holidays with them until January 4. Then I went back to Cebu for our #OdettePH relief initiative,” paliwanag ni Tracy sa isang panayam.
Dagdag pa niya, “I stepped back and recharged. My journey is fulfilling but quite taxing. I value family and my ‘me’ time. I also prioritize my emotional self as depression has no face, so I listen to my mind and body.”
“My immediate task now is to get my momentum back, and yes, I can bring change to the world and bring my advocacy to the global stage.
“I’ve brought my heart, my soul, and my experiences to Puerto Rico. But this time, I’ll also bring the hope of Filipinos to the fight.
“My mindset is to be consistent throughout, someone who’ll represent the organization as its international spokesperson,” lahad pa ng beauty queen.
Naniniwala naman si Tracy na sa guidance at suporta ng Aces & Queens trainors at ng national director ng Miss World Philippines na si Arnold Vegafria, na maibabalik niya agad ang kumpiyansa at tiwala sa sarili bago siya lumipad patungong Puerto Rico sa unang linggo ng Marso.
“If there’s one thing I learned from my Miss World journey so far, is that I just always have to stick to what I know. It pays to be just yourself. ‘Cause the organizers will know if you’re putting up a facade.

“That’s also my takeaway from our previous queens, that there’s really no formula. At the end of the day, it’s just faith. It’s about you performing and just being prepared for anything.
“I don’t really think about it too much. My co-candidates told me that I’m different from what they envisioned Miss Philippines to be,” pahayag ng dalaga.
“I’ve worked my hardest to be where I am now, and I’m proud of that. I basically came from scratch, and the organization sees that. They don’t see a beauty queen, they see a person. And that’s very important,” ang mariin pang sabi ni Tracy sa nasabing interview.
Kung papalarin sa pageant, si Tracy ang magiging ikalawang Filipina na makapag-uuwi ng Miss World crown. Si Megan Young ang kauna-unahang Pinay Miss World na kinoronahan noong 2013.
Ang iba pang lumaban sa nasabing pageant na nakakuha ng pwesto ay sina Cecilia Amabuyok, 4th runner-up (1968), Evangeline Pascual, 1st runner-up (1973), Ruffa Gutierrez, 2nd Princess (1993), at Gwendolyn Ruais, 1st Princess (2011).
