Miss World Philippines Tracy Maureen Perez is leaving Puerto Rico and coming back to the country after the Miss World beauty pageant was temporarily postponed after COVID-19 broke out among the pageant's contestants and staff.

In a post on her Instagram account, the beauty queen said that her time spent in Puerto Rico has been a “rollercoaster of emotions,” saying that she has been doing her best to keep herself together and to recover physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Tracy had a sweet message for everyone she met in Puerto Rico, stressing that she could not wait to get back and spend time with the Filipino community who supported her there as well as with her fellow contestants with whom she now has an “unbreakable bond.”
