Newly crowned Miss Supermodel Worldwide 2022 Alexandra Mae Rosales is coming home following a successful stint in India last Oct. 16.
Rosales, 26, is scheduled to arrive in the country on Wednesday, Oct. 19, according to her talent manager Meg Perez. She is the first Filipino to win the title.
Upon her arrival, Rosales is scheduled to appear as a guest on several TV programs, fashion shows, and judging gigs.
“We did it! As I always say, I couldn’t have done it better without the people who rallied with me since day 1. Who used their time and talents to help me scream, ‘I AM DESERVING’. I love you mama, sampi, sam sapo, eli, chanel, reygie, nay meg, tito rog, ate mae and jj, alam nyo yan. Thank you for believing in me and bringing out the best in me. This crown is for you and for the Philippines!” Rosales wrote on social media.
In 2021, Rosales competed in the BInibining Pilipinas beauty pageant. Prior, she worked for Okada Manila for three years when she decided to try her luck in the most prestigious national pageant.
Rosales focused on animal welfare in the country.
“Many people lack awareness on animal care. Hanggang ngayon may thinking pa rin ang iba na unahin ang tao dahil hayop lang iyan. They are living creatures given to us by God. I believe God gave animals to us so that we can take care of them, not to exploit them,” said Rosales.
“Sometimes we use them for our resources. They have feelings also and tayong tao na may mga isip, we need to protect these animals,” she said
Rosales also slammed products that use animals for their tests.
“There are make-up brands that use animals for testing, such as lipstick and eye shadows. I don’t patronize make-up brands that test on animals,” she said.
She added: “It’s a hidden issue and not many people know that. I hope these should be stopped. Many animals are exploited for research.”
Rosales has cats and dogs.
She graduated with a degree in tourism from Malayan College in Laguna. She stands 5’9 1/2 and measures 36-25-36.
In 2015, Rosales competed at the Miss Southeast Asia Ambassadress in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
