Get to know Bb.Pilipinas Candidate #21: Giselle Angelica Muñoz #MissUniverse

Candidate No. 21 : Giselle Angelica Muñoz

Age: 25
Height: 5’7”

Giselle is from Parañaque City, a Political Science graduate from the Ateneo de Manila University and a law degree holder from UP although she is yet to take the bar exams. This is her first ever pageant because she wanted to do something “grand”. There was a time when she tipped the scales at 148 lbs and lost 35 lbs through diet and exercise. She wanted a lifestyle change and to be healthier. She joined the 5k Avon run and sees sports as a form of meditation. She is also into spinning and boxing. She never imagined herself as athletic but “when I was challenged, I ended up enjoying it.”
