So, thank you so much for giving that opportunity, for everyone here in the Philippines to watch with me or watch with them kung ano yung nangyayari sa Miss Universe. So, all throughout I never felt like I was alone, I think I have always been open to my story na I don’t have so much resources. But with BingoPlus, you have all the capabilities that you can have, so I am forever grateful.” ~Chelsea Manalo, Miss Universe Asia
