“The pandemic taught me to be more independent, and it reminded me to love myself more,” said Kelley during her recent send-off party held at Manila House. “The physical preparations for the pageant started last month but I have been mentally preparing myself for over a year.”
Kelley, who already had an acting career prior to winning the beauty contest, is also preparing for both a television and movie project with actor-director David Chua and veteran character actor Raymond Bagatsing, who were present during her send-off. Also at the event were beauty queens Miss World Philippines 2019 Michelle Dee, Reina Hispanoamericana 2019 Katrina Llegado and Miss Eco-Teen International 2020 winner Ro-An Tamondong.
Followers of Kelley and David are excited about their onscreen team-up.
“Anything is possible,” said David whose last teleserye was ABS-CBN’s "Love Thy Woman" following roles in some 30 other shows on the Kapamilya network.
“Right now, I’m wishing Kelley the best of luck in the pageant. The country deserves to have some good news that we can all be proud of especially after what we all went through last year. I’m also looking forward to working with Kelley and definitely with Raymond — an actor that I truly admire.”
