Prior to her arrival in Mexico, the Bulakenya beauty queen shared snaps from her photoshoot which was inspired by the titular role in the popular Mexican TV series “Rosalinda.”
“Channeling the iconic spirit of Rosalinda, embracing the passion and beauty of Mexico! ¡Viva México!” she captioned the post.
Meanwhile, MUPH earlier called for the public to vote for Manalo in the fan vote and “Voice for Change” challenges.
“The BAYANIHAN for the CROWN starts now! Let’s make CHELSEA MANALO No. 1 in the fan vote and Voice for Change challenges to increase our chances of taking home the crown!” it stated. “Kaya natin ‘to!” (We can do this!)
Manalo is among the over 120 delegates who will compete to inherit the crown from Miss Universe 2023 Sheynnis Palacios at the coronation night on Nov. 16 (Nov. 17 in the Philippines).
