Mukhang hindi pa rin nagsi-sink in kay newly crowned Miss World Philippines 2021 Tracy Perez ang kanyang panalo kahit halos dalawang linggo na mula nang siya ay koronahan.
Tinawanan din lang niya ang dalawang beses na pagsemplang sa stage sa grand coronation night na ginanap sa Subic Bay Exhibition and Convention Center, sa Subic Bay Freeport Zone, Olongapo, Zambales, noong October 3, 2021.
Pahayag ni Tracy sa kanyang Instagram post, “It’s been a while since the @msworldphil Coronation Night and haven’t been active on social media but I must say, it still hasn’t fully sunk in yet.
“Although it’s been super busy with my recovery, working 2 jobs, and left and right interviews and appearances (especially after falling twice [smiling face with open mouth and cold sweat emoji]), I’m still not used to everything especially when I get to wear my sash and crown and introduced as Miss World Philippines.
“I can still clearly remember how I daydream being called as one and replaying the MWP song (she’s the one, she’s the queen, she’s Miss World Philippines).
“It honestly feels like my life just changed in one night but here I am, still the same simple Bisaya girl with big dreams and a humble yet brave heart that does not give up.”
“I’VE EXPERIENCED SO MANY HARDSHIPS”
Dagdag pa ng Cebuana beauty, sangkatutak na paghihirap at sakripisyo ang kanyang pinagdaanan bago maabot ang pangarap na korona at titulo sa mundo ng beauty pageants.
“All throughout my life, I’ve experienced so many hardships (those closest to me can attest to that).
“Even when pursuing my dream in pageantry, I’ve been told so many times that I lack so many things and that I cannot and will not be Miss World Philippines, how much more be Miss World.
“I’ve been criticized, looked down upon, judged, called names, made fun of and so many other things.
“I’ve also fell down so many times in life, doubted myself, and gave up, even hated my life at times.
“I would even ask myself why does everything, every aspect of my life, have to be so difficult for me.
“But I realized, this is my life and if I truly want to be happy, I have to embrace every single bit of it and take charge, that even if my life is indeed difficult, it is still a miracle and a huge blessing from up above.”
At nagbunga naman daw lahat ng kanyang pinagdaanan nang makoronahan bilang Miss World Philippines 2021.
Magpupursige rin daw siyang maiuwi muli ang international crown sa bansa.
“Now, I am here and I can finally say I made it, we made it [crying emoji]. The seemingly impossible circumstances became possible for us and this might be a good sign that the elusive Blue Crown will finally be ours for the taking [praying hands emoji]
“Please join me in this fight, I will stop at nothing to bring pride and honor to our country and to us Filipinos because when life pushes us back, that is when we fight harder.
“Laban, mahal kong Pilipinas.”
