Is it true that Chelsea Manalo also won the Best in Long Gown award from Miss Universe 2024 aside from Best in National Costume?
On Thursday’s “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,” Chelsea shared that she’s aware that the rumor has been going around.
“Pero wala pa kasing official announcement si Miss Universe. There’s no claim to it. But I guess the people really liked the stint that I did, so I’m really thankful na even the organization saw that,” she said.
She also talked about her Miss Universe Asia title and what it entails.
“This year, they brought the continental queens and yes, they did inform us about this…while we were in the pageant. So, these are just like behind the cameras, we were briefed about, you know, what will happen,” she said.
According to Chelsea, the continental queens were carefully selected by the organization.
“Siguro it boiled down to the preliminary interview at the same time so that they said they wanna choose the girls that they can best work with,” she said.
However, Chelsea does not know why the awarding of the continental queens was not included in the pageant or if the title comes with a prize.
“Na-brief naman kami backstage what we are going to do. We will be working hand in hand with the different continental queens and with Miss Universe, Miss Victoria [Theilvig]. So working with the charity, working with the organization, so we are part of Miss Universe this year,” she said.
The queens will be touring around with the organization, helping them with their charity work.
Chelsea arrived back in Manila earlier this week.
