Miss World Philippines 2021 Tracy Maureen Perez definitely caused a stir online ever since the pageant’s coronation night held last Sunday, October 3, after she fell twice onstage.
Addressing the concerns of her supporters and the Filipino public, she went on DZMM TeleRadyo to open up about what exactly had happened to her that evening.

“Hindi ko alam kung matutuwa ba ako or mahihiya o malulungkot na naging trending mismong coronation night because of the fall that I had, not only once but twice,” she began. “Pero ako naman I would just like to address ‘yung mga concern ng mga tao, I’ve been receiving so many messages po and they are really worried [about] what happened at saka super sama raw ng bagsak ko.”
Tracy first fell off the stairs while standing on the stage and again during the final part of the pageant. Some netizens inferred that it was because the pageant was just too long, lasting six hours in total.
However, she assured everyone that she is okay and healthy.
“Okay naman po ako. I am very fine and parang iniisip ko na lang na kahit ano pa ang mangyari I was still able to stand back up and gagamitin ko na lang siyang inspiration ang feeling ko that time, dalawang pagbagsak sa pangalawang Miss World crown ng Philippines,” she said.
“Siguro po it was a mixture po of a little bit of everything. Siguro the gown, the heels, the stage, lahat-lahat na po. Pero rest assured gagawin ko po lahat. My stamina is okay. Lahat-lahat, everything is okay. Nangyari lang po talaga.”
Tracy will be representing the Philippines in Miss World 2021 in Puerto Rico this December.
