The selection committee will determine the Silver finalists and Gold winners of the beauty pageant's Voice for Change finalists, which honors the delegates who have best used their voices to effect change in their communities. Kapuso beauty queen Michelle Dee was a Voice for Change winner in last year's pageant, where she advocated for autism awareness and the Autism Society of the Philippines' (ASP) Autism Works program.
Just like Michelle, the country's representative this year, Chelsea Manalo, is advocating for something close to her heart. In a video uploaded on the CITalks website, Chelsea talked about her experience being the child of a migrant worker and how she is working towards empowering and advocating for the needs of children like her.
Watch the video below:
Chelsea is currently in Los Angeles undergoing training before heading to Mexico on October 29 for the start of the Miss Universe competition. The pageant's coronation night will be held on November 17.
