But now I realize that pageants are a representation or reflection of that very nation. And tonight I am not representing myself but every Filipina woman who sees themselves in me. I hope to inspire every Filipina that, just like the universe, we too are limitless.&#x27;  </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/06f8abfc-04d9-43c1-b7e0-4ba66ac81f9e_445655521_18103082050397868_6729979219670799496_n.jpeg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Miss Cainta Stacey Daniella Gabriel "/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Miss Cainta Stacey Daniella Gabriel </span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>You are beautiful and confident, how will you use these qualities to empower others? </strong></div><p><strong>Chelsea Manalo - Bulacan:</strong> &#x27;As a woman of color, I have always faced challenges in my life.

But, I think my platform and me standing here in front of you today, I can encourage women that you too can stand up. You can be strong, you can be powerful, you can own your own destiny like I plan to tonight.&#x27;</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/68f2fc6a-2b37-440a-9135-29bed4eb4443_445588757_18103082002397868_1361470349121310389_n.jpeg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Miss Taguig Christi McGarry"/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Miss Taguig Christi McGarry</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>Photos from <strong>@themissuniverseph</strong></p><div><br/></div>
