“You can ask why not Russia? My father is Belarusian, and his biggest dream was to see me as a representative of our native family country, and one of my biggest dreams was to take part in Miss Earth and visit Philippines. And finally our dreams come true,” Manyonok said.
“All documents regarding the citizenship of my father and my family tree were checked by the organization, and there is no reason to doubt that Belarus is my historical homeland. And now I’m so proud to be called Miss Earth Belarus 2019.”
