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.
The Cebuana beauty queen will vie for the second Miss World crown after Megan Young’s hailed as the first Filipina to win the title in 2013.
The international pageant’s coronation night will be held in Puerto Rico on December 16, 2021.
