Miss World Philippines 2021 Tracy Perez: ‘My life story is not all glittered in gold’

Miss World Philippines 2021 Tracy Maureen Perez has shared her life story for the international pageant’s contestant introduction videos.

“My life story is not all glittered in gold,” the Cebu-based beauty queen said on the video released Wednesday.

Tracy revealed she was born a “miracle baby” and was singlehandedly raised by her mom Chona, who died in 2010.

“I grew up accepting that while I live independently, I am meant to be of service to others,” she said.

“From the humble pageant platforms to the grand and glorious stages, I am living my purpose,” she added.

“In the words of Puerto Rico’s most celebrated poet, I am not merely the implacable, elegant lady. I am life, I am strength, I am woman.”

In October, Tracy bested over 40 candidates to win the coveted Miss World Philippines title.

She will be representing the country at the Miss World 2021 pageant in Puerto Rico in December. – RC, GMA News
