“To our dearest @celeste_cortesi, we are tremendously proud of you already! The heavens indeed blessed you to be our Miss Universe Philippines 2022 and without a doubt you will do great in representing our country at the 71st Miss Universe,” she wrote.
“Always know that when the crown gets too heavy to bear, WE GOT YOU! Ti vogliamo bene (I love you), Queen,” she added.
