Chelsea Manalo


Miss Universe Asia Chelsea Manalo's 'All-Out Sundays' guesting is her latest appearance on a Kapuso Network show.

Viewers of All-Out Sundays got a special treat over the weekend after current reigning Miss Universe Asia Chelsea Manalo made a charming appearance on the Sunday noontime show.

In one of the more recent posts on the Miss Universe Philippines official Instagram account, the organization shared multiple photos of Chelsea at ­All-Out Sundays set, where she joined the show in paying tribute to Cebu's famed Sinulog festival. And as noted in the caption to the post, Chelsea also treated the All-Out Sundays audience and viewers with a song.

Chelsea's visit to All-Out Sundays is just the latest activity the beauty queen has done with the Kapuso Network. Last month, Chelsea also made a stop at the Kapuso Network's early morning show, Unang Hirit. Chelsea cooked her special adobo for the show and also talked about her Miss Universe experience and her pride at being the first-ever Miss Universe Asia.

Aside from making media appearances, Chelsea has also been doing advocacy work with different organizations. In December last year, Chelsea visited Hope for Change, an organization that is “dedicated to eradicating the effects of hunger, illiteracy, and disease ravishing impoverished communities.”

Chelsea has also attended the Department of Migrant Workers's "Pamaskong Handog Para sa OFW Family" celebration held at the grounds and the Heroes' Hall of Malacanang.

Chelsea advocated for the concerns of migrant workers' families during her time competing in the Miss Universe pageant and made it the subject of her Voice for Change video.

Since her performance in the pageant, Kapuso beauty queen Michelle Dee and It's Showtime host Vice Ganda have both expressed their pride and gratitude.

Residents of Meycauayan City also expressed their support for Chelsea, who they still consider a winner.

“Napakaganda nung performance ni Chelsea kanina and 101 percent binigay niya 'yung best niya,” shared Clemen Pariñas, a member of Meycauayan's LGBTQIA+ community. “I think pagbalik niya naman dito, may naghihintay pa rin sa kanyang mga opportunities. Alam kong maraming magbubukas na pinto para sa kanya.”

Meanwhile, Lani Villarico, Chelsea's principal when she was in school, could not stop herself from expressing some sadness at the results.

“Hindi ko inaasahan. Nalulungkot kami kasi alam naming kung paano mag-perform si Chelsea. Kahit saan natin tingnan 'yung kanyang mga performance, talagang the best siya. Naiiba siya sa karamihan,” she shared. “Disappointed talaga kami, lalo na ako. Kilala ko 'yung bata na 'yan.”

Nevertheless, she still had nothing but praise for Chelsea's performance.

“Ikaw pa din, the best ka. Alam mo 'yung talagang totoo. Higit sa lahat, ang iyong kakayanan ay ipinakita mo sa madla, sa buong Pilipinas, na ikaw ang pinaka magaling, pinaka mahusay sa lahat,” she said.
