KELLEY, nakabalik na at nagpasalamat sa suportang natanggap during and after the pageant

NAKABALIK na sa bansa ang tinanghal na first runner-up sa Miss Eco International pageant sa Egypt na si Kelley Day.

April 4 noong maganap ang coronation night ng Miss Eco International kunsaan ang nagwagi ay si Gizzelle Uys of South Africa. Pero hindi agad nakabalik si Kelley dahil sa mahigpit na travel restrictions pabalik ng Pilipinas dahil sa biglaang surge ng COVID-19 virus sa bansa.

Nabalita ring may ilang candidates ng pageant na na-infect ng virus. Negative naman ang result ng swab test kay Kelley.

Sa Instagram ay nagpasalamat si Kelley sa suporta na natanggap niya during and after the pageant.

Kelley shared a short clip of herself at naka-self-isolate siya bilang pagsunod sa COVID-19 protocols ng bansa.

“Hey, everyone. Good evening. It’s 10:30 pa lang, and I want to give you all an update that I am in Manila. I flew in this afternoon, arrived, and checked in to my quarantine hotel, where I’ll be staying for the next seven days.

“Yeah, I just want to give you guys this update that I’m finally back home in Manila and really happy to be back. I’ve received so many well-wishes, and I want you all to know I arrived in Manila this afternoon.

“Thank you, everyone, for all the lovely messages and prayers. I can’t express enough gratitude to my closest friends and family who have been just a call (or calls) away — thank you.”

KINUMPIRMA ng reality star na si Caitlyn Jenner na tatakbo siya bilang governor of California.

Nai-file na raw nito ang mga kailangan na paperworks para sa pagtakbo niya.

“California has been my home for nearly 50 years. I came here because I knew that anyone, regardless of their background or station in life, could turn their dreams into reality.

“But for the past decade, we have seen the glimmer of the Golden State reduced by one-party rule that places politics over progress and special interests over people. Sacramento needs an honest leader with a clear vision,” sey ni Caitlyn sa isang official statement.

The news comes as California Governor Gavin Newscom faces the possibility of a recall election.

Dagdag pa ni Jenner: “In the next few weeks, I will meet with Californians from across the state to hear their voices and finally get this state moving in the right direction. The significance of this decision is not lost on me. The sacrifice is significant.   “But responsibility is great, and I can’t wait to lead, to help and most importantly, to disrupt the status quo once again… I’m in!”  (RUEL J. MENDOZA)
