Para kay Miss Universe 1969 Gloria Diaz, si Chelsea pa rin ang kanyang winner for Miss Universe 2024.

Sa panayam ng ABS-CBN ay nagbigay ng pahayag ang aktres at dating beauty queen sa performance ng Philippine representative sa Miss U kung saan nga ay nakapasok ito sa top 30 at nabigo nang mapasama sa top 12.

“Like I always say, winning or losing is not the beginning or the end. It’s only a step towards your own future, whatever it’s that you do. Chelsea is beautiful. I’ve seen her many times in person, twice, three times. She’s perfect but maybe today, maybe it’s not yet her time. The winner was good,” pahayag ng kauna-unahang Pilipina na nakasungkit ng Miss Universe crown.

“And medyo spoiled kasi tayo, we always want to be winners, hindi ba? And I think for the moment now Chelsea is my winner,” dagdag pa niya.

Nahingan din ng pahayag si Gloria tungkol sa pagkakaroon ngayon ng Continental Queens sa Miss Universe kung saan nga ay hinirang si Chelsea as the first Miss Universe Asia.

“That’s good. They are being inclusive so they want to do new things. In fact, I heard the crown was made here,” she said.

Sa pananaw ni Gloria ay iba na rin kasi ang panahon ngayon unlike during her time na simple lang ang Miss Universe.

“Ako naman I’d like to go with the times but of course during my time, it’s always to be better than ever.

“Kasi during my time it was simple, it was not as under pressure.

“Well, our prizes were good and our country was happy and that’s all that counts. And I worked and met a lot of very important people,” pahayag pa ng veteran actress.
