It's the vision of her designer to showcase her as a regal queen, as if she won already.

They are not losers ! They already a champion and a pride to Represent their own city !

chelsea maanalo was called out as the dark horse like a wild card at any contest. but she outwit everyone from Q&A. Also, you can see how it radiates the aura of becoming the next MUPH. she definitely deserved the crown. ❤

All filipino can be miss universe philippines whether they are half or full filipino.

She has an X factor. I like her color. Exotic beauty. Silent killer. Not neophyte in pageantry. She's calm from the very start of competition, but fighting. Deserved as MUP. Congratulations!

There’s diversity in the Philippines. We are a nation of different races and ethnicities, just like the U.S. is. Filipino is a nationality or citizenship. Being a Filipino is all about our sense of belonging and identity. There’s no question she’s a Filipina. Every single one of them finds their true identity rooted in the Philippines.

The designer of Bulacan did the right thing on dressing Chelsea in that fabulously big gown! It was his intention to make her look like the queen of the night since most pageant Gowns are small

Open your eyes,,, SHE IS EXTREMELY GORGEOUS AND HER SKIN COLOR IS SO BEAUTIFUL ❤❤❤❤❤ MY QUEEN,, OUR QUEEN

Brian she is truly beautiful ! Accept her ! She is a unique nice and truly morena ! Im getting tired of some women trying to be white by taking pills ! I love her ! She is humble and nice

Because she's from the province of bulakan she's representing the history of her province bulak means cotton that's why she decide to weare fluffy white dress

She has the best gown in MUP history . Well-deserved win.

Chelsea Manalo congratulations..you deserved the Miss Universe Philippines 2024....soooo happy for you and we're rooting for you to catch the Miss Universe 2024 ...Good luck

So because she’s black and doesn’t look like the typical stereotypical women from the Philippines doesn’t mean she’s not aFilipina woman. Just because her father is American doesn’t make her less than. I doubt you would say that if she had the stereotypical look. Sounds a little ignorant.

She was definitely a surprise for everyone. I was routing for Taguig and Quezon Province. I have to say, her journey to the crown was tough. Halfway through the whole competition she was planning to quit due to lack of resources. But she is a perfect example of destiny. It was her time. Congratulations Bulacan!

Bulacan deserved it She is Geniune and the stars a line to her that night ! when i saw her dress on the final evening gown the crown belong to her

They all love each other. Tears of joy for Bulacan! It is a great job well done for Bulacan’s gown’s designer. He/she made her realy shine and stand out! Congrats Bulacan! You deserve the Crown!

Her gown is perfect for her. if other will wear it, it will look ordinary, SHE IS DESTINED TO WIN! STUNNING! I was in awe when she showed up in that evening gown.

Who wasn’t ready that’s their problem , the judges decision is Final 👍🏻

Bulacan is beautiful graceful confident and humble!

A well deserved Crown for Miss Chelsea Manalo…Praying that she will be paired up to the Best Glam Team who will take care of her on her Miss Universe journey to Mexico….So Please Universe and Philippines let us give our 101% support to Miss Chelsea so we can have the 5th crown this year…🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🎉🎉🎉

She is underdog but the most beautiful among the contestants. Broke the standard beauty of having white skin and mestiza looking. She is epitome of a true beauty.

NAOMI CAMPBELL OF PHILIPPINES ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤...YES !

I’m mesmerized by how magically majestic and regal her gown was, well deserved 🎉❤

Each candidates have their own designers of gowns and no one knows who will win until the coronation night happened. She's a biracial his father is black American and her mom is a Filipina she grew up in the Philippines from 2 years old to present

She is a Filipino with african-american blood. She was raised by her Filipino mom and stepfather. Her mom was separated from his biological dad when she was two yrs old, she only stayed in the US for about 3 yrs , and educated in the Philippines. She has all the rights to be called Miss Universe-Philippines. It’s just so sad when others see a mixed blood candidate from the Philippines, they question, when they win they (other countries/nationalities ) own them- suddenly the world thinks they are not Filipinos. Thinking that because they look different they are not Filipinos. I thought of pageantry as more than the physical attributes . She deserves the Universe-Philippines crown .Besides, the world is now multi racial, there isn’t any more of exclusion .

I think that is a smart idea to have that gigantic dress and he owns the stage. She is very beautiful.

After seeing the interview of chelsea manalo post coronation i think she is destined to be the miss universe❤ i love her character she has a golden heart

Some of the contestants are crying and that's tears of joy. They know that Miss Bulacan started from humble beginnings, she almost quit the competition because of lack of budget but she keeps on competing and now , she's Miss Universe Philippines winner!

Congratulations Miss Philippines 🇵🇭.

I think Bulacan was born and raised here in the Philippines. She also looks very Filipino to me. I thought she's pure Filipino at first so I was so surprised when they said that she's half Filipino.

She is so talented on balancing the CROWN ... AMAZING ❤❤❤ 😅✌😊🤍

Hey brian, R'bonnie gabriel is fil american citizen who is your ms. USA and became Miss U 2yrs ago.

That big gown is an elegant personal statement of declaring that she is the Queen ! and the rest are bridesmaids. Good observation Brian! Learn more with the Pinoys, we are one great, happy people !!! that is why many fall in love with us and with our phenomenal country.

Whats wrong with Chelsea,, she is so pretty and witty, for me she was already in my top 10 from the start, i am from Region 6 but it doesnt matter she is still a filipina for me, she deserves that crown.

Honestly she is the most beautiful woman in that country ❤❤ go chealse

Congratulations to the winner, and the Philippines has every reason to be proud!

Hey she deserved the crown!!!!!

She is a beauty.... Reminds me of Desiree Verdadero's Beauty....Desiree was 3rd Runner up in the Ms Universe 1984 and with dimples too.😊

Everyone’s jaw dropped when Ahtisa Manalo was called 2nd runner-up.. instead another Manalo won-Chelsea.. She was a dark horse in this pageant, there were a handful of front runners from the get-go.. Nobody expected this.. hehehe.. can’t imagine the faces of Alexis and Ahtisa fans faces.. 😅 “ It ain’t over till the fat lady sings!” First black Filipina ever to represent the Philippines in the MU ..

Their team decides what their candidate would wear. It just so happened that Ms. Bulacan's team made an excellent choice of gown.

Hello Brian 😇! I guess you can call it Tears of Joy or Tears of Sorrow! And for Ms. Bulacan you can call it the Thrill of Victory and the Agony of Defeat for the others 😇👍.

Beautiful black Barbie doll Chelsea Manalo deserve the crown. And it's her destiny Brian. No one cab stop that fact.🙏🙏🙏

During the pageant of MUP 2024 the news was always with Alexi Brooks and Atisha Manalo and there was no Chelsea Manalo news. Then at the end Chelsea Manalo did a great job and very good in answering Q&A. The way she walk everything was perfect. She was so silent at first but that is how she break her silence by being proactive in every way.

Congratulations Chelsea! You are indeed beautiful ☺️🥂 I love your aura, it's just surreal!

The fact that the crown did not fall off from her head , is a sign that Ms Bulacan deserves the crown. Imagine kung nahulog, Lalo Siyang pinagtawanan ng mga nasa kabilang bakod, but , it did not. God is kind to her. Nabawasan Ang paghamga ko Kay mmd at Alden.

her dad is black American but her parents divorced when she was little. Her dad passed away 2 years ago. she lived in Bulacan too.

Like example Miss Universe 2022 r’bonie gabriel she was a half Filipino because her father from Philippines but she represented Miss USA.

Brian I wish u have a translator beside u, and telling u that she’s not the crowd favorite and no fan crowd , everything possible because of her performance

She lives jn the Philippines! Yes, her dad is black American and he passed away.

Ahaha! I like it when you said look at them they are just ike her bridesmaid at the back and look at how her dress is big and so white. Kudos to Manny Halasan for making her this remarkable gown which makes her standout among the rest.🎉

That's how you win - dress like THE WINNER!

Thanks ms, Chelsea manalo , . Bulakeños are so proud of you. You deserve it , no matter how many bashers questioning the crown you've got, the most important is you get it in a hard way manner and they can' not take it away from you,,SA mga bitter na bashers"move on po tayo mga LOLA,,"MAY NANALO NA PO at yun ay si MS, CHELSEA MANALO,,. her surname speaks for herself,😂😂😊😊

She's the next miss universe 2024

Mom Duty, a vlogger here in the Philippines just posted a video showing Ms. Bulacan checking them in for their booked reservation. Apparently, Ms. Bulacan works at the hotel's front desk.

Pinaghandaan na ni miss bulacan dahil sa kanyang bonggang2 white gown

She is gorgeous 😍 ❤️

She deserved the crown❤

sir,as u can see her jazz walk in swimsuit...so smooth...❤😍i love it...

We have a lot of mixed races now becoz of our ofws. Filipinos are opened to anyone with mixed skin color as long as they represent the core value of a true Filipino🇵🇭🇵🇭will always love and support them ❤❤

She's like an Angel here dress.🙏♥️🥰😃🤩

The gown was just her designer's idea & design to suit her beauty & skin tone. Her father is Afro-American & mother is Filipina.

Congratulation! look like she the first color woman winner of miss universe Philippines she did the best answer of five women.

She chose the dress herself. In an interview, she was looking for dresses shopping online, and she did most of her makeup herself. She had support from her Bulacan team but did mostly everything herself with her parents.

Please don't judged her, she is a perfect Filipina beauty..we are proud of her ..

Welcome to the new era of beauty!

The Ms Universe Phils first task is to balance crown on her head !

Gown are their personal choices...HELLO! It's not her fault she wants a big gown. Others want as little fabric as possible to reveal more skin. Hello?!

She's was raised in the Philippines since she was 2 years old.

Yes Chelsea’s father isAmerican a black American and her mother is Filipina but she said that they they separated when she was barely 2 years old .. she lives in Bulacan but was able t meet his father when she attended her elementary school in USA

Next Miss Universe! Yes, let’s go Chelsea!!!! Bring the crown to the Philippines, though I am in NY, USA❤️

A well deserved win! Miss Bulakan was a good choice. I hope she gets the country’s 5th Ms. Universe crown.

Jesus love the kittle children of the world Black Yellow Red brown Chesea deserve to be a miss universe ohilippines and Miss universe 2024

BULACAN is simply elegant, win from behind

Her last name itself, "Manalo" is auspicious as if she was born to win 😅 Panalo = win Nanalo= winner/won Manalo = to win

Despite the fact that she is half Filipino in race, Miss Manalo deserves to be crowned... she is the most BEAUTIFUL, GORGEOUS, AND ELEGANT!

She is filipino, she was born in the Philippines and lives in the Philippines. Just because they look how they look, it doesn't mean they are not filipino or filipina or they are not who they are. A year ago, the former Miss Texas USA R'Bonney Gabriel, she's half filipina and half american, another one filipino american Savanah Gankiewics won Miss USA this year.

Shes really gorgeous very queenly 🫶

Every deligate works with designers of their own choice. The gowns are not provided by the organization. Chelsea actually was an independent candidate meaning, she did not actually have a huge team behind her, some of the other candidates did. I did end up following up with some of her recent interviews, and her gown actually represents her story and personality. It was designed to compliment the crown as well. Also, yes her biological dad is African American but the majority of her life was raised in the Philippines and she upholds the values of a true Filipina queen. (Also raised by her stepdad who is Filipino since the age of 2). If you follow her story, she represents nothing less than a true Filipina.

She's smart and humble. SHE'S A FILIPINO BY BLOOD!

I am always 100% behind ZERO cosmetic procedure!!! Congrats Chelsea!

The Philippines was a U.S. TERRITORY FROM 1898 TO 1945 WE WERE ONCE A UPON A TIME CARRYING U.S. PASSPORT. THIS TIME PHILIPPINES IS SENDING BLACK BEAUTY TO MEXICO, SHE WILL ROCK THE STAGE THERE.

The issue here is that the Philippines has a decades-long trajectory of favoritism of mestizo or mixed races and colorism. Especially when it comes to skin tone, it’s overly toxic for pale, fair, and whitening skin. Bulacan is a born and raised National. Though she is half, I’m proud for her to win. I hope her presence can break the cycle of toxic beauty standards. So many indigenous Aeta children are pleased to see her; she’s the key to changing the face on the global stage. Maybe after her reign, more indigenous, dark brown, and all shades of brown filipinas will feel welcomed. They’ll see her and have the courage to know they’re enough…. Even though the Philippine and Asian culture makes them think they’re not enough. They can finally stand tall and know they have a seat at the table with different hair types and shades of color. The time to change is now, and Chelsea is the one to make a new wave.

Yessss Bulacan❤❤❤❤

Congratulations Chelsea! You truly deserved it as what the judges deemed you are and not what those who don't know you say about you. You know exactly which battle to fight.

She deserves the crown and the title.

Bulacan deserved ❤❤❤ Natural Beauty...Pride of Amerasian 🇵🇭🇺🇲🙏💐❤️❤️❤️👑👑👑👑

In my observation about the gown worn by Ms. Bulacan it was beautiful! You will never go wrong with white gown. The color white really suits her skin color. I think the designer made it for her to stand out and this is also a challenge for her if she'll be able to wear and carry it gracefully and with confidence. She nailed it. The way she walks with the gown with high heels was so natural and effortless. This gives big points in the competition to move on to the next round. Also, I've watched Ms. Universe 2023 just recently. Ms. Nicaragua's gown outstands the other candidates in the top 10 for her slim fit white long gown with aqua blue cape. Maybe just maybe Ms. Bulacan's team got the inspiration or idea from that previous pageant. They want her to be different from the rest. She should wear something that outstands which is very important in a competition. 😊

She’s absolutely stunning and deserved it.

I like Quezon Province but Bulacan is stand out anyway Bulakan deserves to win

For me she should be beauty and brain,2. Excellent in all out performance 3 full of confident and strong woman smart with an attitude....4.must have charisma, winnable favorite crowds may impact strong personality with x factor.. .. this is my opinion in choosing best candidate

Love the video guy. You have to remember the Philippines changed their rules this year that ANY Filipina from anywhere in the world could compete this year. Even if they are ½ Filipina, they can still compete. And it would NOT be the 1st time in Miss Universe history that a girl representing her country was only 1/2 of that country's heritage. R'Bonney Gabriel, who won Miss Universe, although from the USA, is 1/2 Filipina, 1/2 American. Catriona Gray from 2018 won Miss Universe, she's 1/2 Filipina 1/2 Australian. Pia Wurtzbach is 1/2 Filipina 1/2 German. So being 100% Filipina is of no import anymore. The Philippines knows what they are doing, and their girls are crazy prepared when it comes to Miss Universe. Those girls are prepared to win. Chelsea won for good reason, and I guarantee you, the joke is going to be on everyone if she cracks the Top 5 or Top 3 at Miss Universe in Mexico, and if she takes it all, the game is OVER. Also, side note, if anyone's paid attention, the girl who wins Miss Universe Philippines, typically if her ability to speak is strong, and she shows no fear during her national competition? If she doesn't get nervous or stutter or give ANY hint of fear (which those Philippino judges pick up on VERY QUICKLY), she tends to do extremely well at Miss Universe.

The good thing is she is biracial filipino but can really speak Tagalog unlike other predecessors

That will make her win the missU. Wanna bet?! She was able to balance the crown in her head

Congrarulations Bulacan.❤❤❤

She deserves it, I liked her being the winner. ❤
