Chelsea Manalo
HABANG papalapit ang pinakaaabangang grand coronation night ng Miss Universe 2024, mas lalo pang nagiging palaban ang bet ng Pilipinas na si Chelsea Manalo.
In fairness, marami ang nagsasabi na malakas ang laban ng dalaga sa finals night, base na rin sa mga nababasa naming comments sa mga pageant online sites.
For sure, hindi naman nagkukulang si Chelsea sa paghahanda para sa pagrampa niya sa magaganap na preliminaries sa Arena CDMX, Mexico ngayong araw, November 14 bago ang coronation night sa November 17 (Manila time).
Tulad na nga lang ng naganap na closed-door interviews kahapon (Manila time) with the pageant’s selection committee kung saan mukhang naka-score naman nang bongga si Chelsea.

“Enjoy ‘yung laban. I’m seeing the stars aligning. In a galaxy full of stars, it does shine. Pero ‘yung pinakamaliit na star, that is the star that will shine the most,” ang pahayag ng beauty queen sa ulat ng ABS-CBN.
Kung may strategy man daw na gagawin ang dalaga para sa judgment day, “To have a little bit more rest, to be more myself. I think kasi kung enjoy ka lang, happy ka naman, magre-reflect naman ‘yan until finals.
Patuloy pa niyang pahayag sa naturang panayam hinggil sa tuluy-tuloy na activities nila sa Miss Universe 2024, “Two weeks na and I have been so happy, so excited every single day.
“The moment that I got in here we have been doing so many activities like photoshoots, fittings, we also had rehearsals.
“This day, it came to the right time to do the closed-door interviews for the preliminaries. Sobrang exciting!” dagdag pa niya.
“Mga tinanong nila sa akin more on personal questions about who you are. They want to know your personality more than having that crown.”
“I think it’s more than enough for them to know the power we have as Filipina women to finally win the next Miss Universe crown.
“Sobrang happy ko doon sa closed-door interview because they finally now know my personality, my character, and what my intentions are beyond the crown,” sey pa ni Chelsea.
