Mrs Universe Official CEO’s Empowering Dress Raises $1,500 for Inmate Pardons

In a heartwarming victory for Mrs Universe Official and Human Rights, CEO Maryrose Salubre recently spearheaded a charitable initiative that raised $1,500 to secure the release of inmates who had served their time. This philanthropic effort resulted in the pardon of 50-plus inmates just before Christmas at Lipa Jail in Batangas, Philippines, with further releases planned through ongoing fundraising efforts.

The impactful event occurred on December 17, 2023, at the prestigious Sir Stamford Hotel Circular Quay, where a community of supporters came together to contribute to the noble cause.

The Dress that Made a Difference

The centerpiece of this humanitarian initiative was a remarkable dress worn by Mrs Universe Official CEO Maryrose Salubre. The dress not only showcased elegance but also symbolized hope and freedom for those seeking a second chance in life. The funds raised through the dress contributed significantly to the successful release of inmates.

Freedom Granted

Before the year-end festivities, more than 50 inmates were granted freedom, thanks to the generosity and determination of those involved in the fundraising campaign. The impact on these individuals’ lives is immeasurable, giving them the opportunity to reintegrate into society and rebuild their futures.

Contributors and Human Rights Advocates

This successful initiative was made possible by the collaboration of dedicated individuals and human rights advocates who generously contributed to the cause. Among the notable contributors were Minerva SoyLatino, a fervent human rights defender, who donated $700 and now owns the gown named after the phoenix – a symbol of resilience and rebirth.

Other key contributors include Melai Peralta, Maryrose Salubre herself, Miel N Ika (Mrs. Universe Official 2023 & Youth Human Rights President), @alister (Human Rights Admin), Ceres Calizo Ledesma (Mrs. Elite Global Universe 2022), and Brian Worrell Frugtniet, all of whom made significant donations ranging from $100 to $200.

In a remarkable show of support, Mrs Elite Universe Eimee Cragun stepped forward with a substantial donation of 50,000 pesos to the cause. Her generosity adds a new dimension to the campaign, significantly boosting the funds available for inmate releases and emphasizing the widespread impact achievable through collaborative efforts.

Looking Ahead

The success of this initiative underscores the power of collective efforts in creating positive change. As Mrs Universe Official and Human Rights continue their mission, the funds raised will contribute to additional inmate releases, fostering a sense of hope and justice within the community.

This victory stands as a testament to the commitment of those who believe in the transformative power of compassion, empathy, and human rights. Mrs. Universe Official CEO Maryrose Salubre and her team are determined to carry this momentum into the new year, striving for a world where everyone is afforded the opportunity for redemption and a fresh start.

Coming Soon: Mrs. Universe 2020 Down Under

What: This prestigious international pageant believes that physical beauty is just a part of of the whole allure of a person. Its award is for the most honorable married woman. According to its rules she must age 25 to 45, has a family, has her own career and involved with a significant cause in favour of other people.

That is why every year this international event takes 7 to 10 days. During that period the married women from different countries are involved in different initiatives.

The idea that unites them is the motto “Against violence” which in different years covers different causes.

2009 was devoted to children and young women who are abandoned or suffer home violence. Representatives of different countries shared their experience in that field and many of them started a good cooperation lasting through the hole next year in different projects.

2010 was devoted to ” Women of the world against violence and human trafficking”.

The idea of all this international event and the activities going through the hole year is that mature women, who have already achieved a lot in their life, who have built their own families, have become mothers themselves, who are indepedent, due to their own efforts, are the women who can use their beauty for the sake of a big cause.

In this aspect it is obvious that beauty is just a small part of the hole allure of a women deserving to be honored. So we leave it for the final night. For that reason we also invite the members of the jury to be with the delegates though their hole stay and follow their steps to get a view of their personality too.

Another idea of the event is to show the host country and the people living there that they deeply believe that getting in touch with new places, culture and people will make the most honorable women real ambassadors of the country they have been to for these 10 days. The way they organize the event aims to be interesting for the participants and aims to help them make friends instead of concurrency.
