Filipina beauty Pauline Amelinckx, in her introductory video for Miss Supranational 2023, talked about the importance of self-love, advocating the importance of speaking up against body shaming which is what she struggled with the most when she was young.

In the video, Pauline expressed, “Sometimes, we’re told we’re not worthy because of how we look or how we don’t fit a certain mold. With self-love, we allow ourselves to be imperfect, to break the mold, be vulnerable, and grow.”

Pauline also said that instead of trying to change other people’s opinions about her, she realized that she should focus on changing the voice in her own head to be more kind to herself.  The video was also shot in Bohol where she grew up.

Pauline also recently took to social media to ask for her supporters and Filipino pageant fans to vote for her in the introduction video challenge. Pauline will be competing at the pageant to try to win the Philippines’ second Miss Supranational crown following Mutya Datul in 2013.

Miss Supranational 2023, the 14th edition of the international pageant, will be held in July at Strzelecki Park Amphitheater, Nowy Sacz, Malopolska, Poland where Lalela Mswane Miss Supranational 2022 will crown her successor at the end of the event finale.
