That’s why Filipinos love her,she really made an effort to embrace being Filipino while growing up. And in that interview, you can clearly see how much she values language as a powerful way to connect with people.

totoo! lalo na kapag nanonood ako ng Miss Universe PH rep natin, para sa akin mas gusto ko ang marunong mag tagalog o ng ibang filipino dialects. ✨

Lumipat ang pamilya namin sa America in 1968. 10 years old pa lang ako. Hangang ngayon at 67 years old fluent pa rin ako sa tagalog. Kaya kong magbasa at sumulat. Proud to be a Filipino & Alex you’re so humble & refreshing!! It’s no wonder you’re so loved by the your fellow countrymen!! God Bless you!! 🙏❤️
