German-Filipino model and actor Maureen Wroblewitz from Pangasinan got a bit emotional when she won the latest challenge for Miss Universe Philippines 2021 as she dedicates her achievements to her late mother.
On Instagram, Maureen shared childhood photos of her family.
"We’re number 1. Thank you to everyone who voted for me, and thank you to my team! These past few days have been full of blessings! Being back in Pangasinan, my Mom’s home, I’ve felt her presence even more.
"I know that she is watching over me, over us @melwrob @mariwrob @marionwrob, and she is extremely proud of all of us! All of our failures and all of our achievements. This is for you, Mom," Maureen wrote.
On Saturday, it was revealed that Maureen topped the casting challenge video for the MUP 2021.
