SINGAPORE representative Bernadette Belle Ong shared some trivia with fans in her introduction video for the Miss Universe pageant.
The beauty queen said she was born in the Philippines.
“I actually came from the Philippines, I was born there and raised up until the time I was 11 years old,” according to Ong.
She also revealed that she resided in Hong Kong.
She remarked that growing up in different places paved the way for her to appreciate her roots and background even more.
“I was able to really appreciate different roots of me being Filipino-Chinese, but also being immigrated into [a] very modernized yet traditional-centric community which is what Singapore really is,” the beauty queen said.
The 69th edition of Miss Universe pageant is happening on May 16 in Florida.(Push)
