In an interview that’s making the rounds of social media following the coronation night in Mexico, Supsup applauded Manalo’s performance given that she was still able to showcase her signature “Tampisaw Walk” during the swimsuit segment as part of the Top 30 finalists.
“When I say Chelsea’s performance sa swimsuit sobrang flawless. It was everything that we wanted. Her ‘Tampisaw Walk’ was out.
Like I said, you can only do 50 percent; the other 50 percent is not in your hands. But for me, she did a great job. That’s the most important thing,” she said.
Despite failing to get in the Top 12 of the competition, Manalo ended up being named the Miss Universe continental queen of Asia, one of the four special titles launched by the Miss Universe Organization. As part of her new role, Manalo would be serving the court of Miss Universe 2024 Victoria Kjaer Theilvig of Denmark and would be touring countries in Asia to drum up support for the pageant organization. Supsup likewise reminded Manalo to not blame herself regardless of the results.
“Chelsea, I love you. You know that I’ve always believed in you. You did a great job.
I’m speechless a.
