CEBU, Philippines — “I am life, I am strength, I am a woman.”
This is how Tracy Maureen Perez describes herself in the Miss World introduction video.
In the video, Perez said, unlike a real-life queen her “life story is not all glittered in gold”.
She revealed that she was born a “miracle baby”, and narrated how she lived independently after her mother died in 2010.
“As a child, I witness how my mom single-handedly raised me.
“I grew up accepting that while I live independently, I am meant to be of service to others,” she said in the video.
