“I even tried lipo for the first time here at the back of my arms,” she said. “You could just see that that’s just a little thing that I did and I’m able to carry myself in a certain way because I feel that, and that translates to confidence for me.”

Belo remarked that she never thought that the Miss Universe 2018 titleholder would admit that she underwent lipo.

“It’s the day of confessions,” said the Miss Universe Philippines 2023 winner. “I did get lipo in my back, specifically around my waist.”

“As you grow, I’m sure a lot of us will realize that we have stubborn areas. Of course I tried my best to lose weight [but] then it became really stubborn, and you just need that extra love,” she said.
