BingoPlus, the country’s premier digital entertainment platform, warmly welcomed Miss Universe Asia 2024 Chelsea Manalo back to the Philippines after her historic victory. The brand, which has supported Manalo since her pre-competition days, hosted a homecoming press conference on 14 December 2024, at Empire Studio to honor her inspiring journey and accomplishments.
In an interview with BingoPlus, Manalo expressed her gratitude to the brand for its unwavering support before, during, and even after the Miss Universe competition.
“I want to say thank you so much to BingoPlus, kasi I already felt na I was home, hindi ako mag-isa. I had so much support when I knew they were flying in there to support me, to have a watch-party pa dito sa Philippines. So, thank you so much for giving that opportunity, for everyone here in the Philippines to watch with me or watch with them kung ano yung nangyayari sa Miss Universe. So, all throughout I never felt like I was alone, I think I have always been open to my story na I don’t have so much resources. But with BingoPlus, you have all the capabilities that you can have, so I am forever grateful.” Manalo said.
When asked about memories during the competition, she highlighted that being able to stand on stage and represent the country made her feel powerful. According to her, the send-off party is her most memorable memory with the brand, because she received so much support that gave her the confidence to compete.
Manalo mentioned that she will be staying in the Philippines for some time. Next year, she shared that she will be traveling globally to fulfill her role as Miss Universe Asia. While this is truly a huge moment for Manalo, she went on to say that there is still room for improvement and a lot of things that still need to be learned.
Meanwhile, BingoPlus will continue to support Manalo as she embarks on this exciting journey. The brand is proud of her accomplishments and everything she stands for. It is truly amazing how Manalo radiates beauty from within. Her kindness, intelligence, humility, and passion surpass her title.
