Asked about her secret to looking great, her thoughtful response reflects the grace that helped her conquer the pageant stage 20 years ago.
Now, as a mother and a woman who has weathered life’s battles, Priscilla embraces a more holistic perspective.
In an exclusive interview with PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal), she shared that beauty begins from within, fueled by a positive mindset and self-love.
“I truly believe that the key to beauty and happiness lies in embracing all parts of myself and prioritizing self-care.
"Happiness is a choice that you must make every single day. There is no such thing as a perfect life; each of us fights our own private battles.
"We may not always win, but having the mentality of a champion is crucial.
"When setbacks occur, it’s important to acknowledge the defeat and learn to move on to fight another day.”

PRISCILLA MEIRELLES BEAUTY ADVICE TO HER DAUGHTER
Priscilla imparts the same wisdom to Anechka, her 12-year-old unica hija with John Estrada.
"The number one piece of beauty advice I give my daughter is to look in the mirror. If she likes what she sees, then she is doing right by herself, her body, and her health.
"If she doesn’t, she needs to figure out what changes she must make to become the best version of herself.
"This way, she can be proud and confident regardless of the challenges she faces or the people she encounters on her journey.
"Additionally, I always emphasize the importance of surrounding herself with good people—those who will uplift, encourage, and support her as she works to better herself every day."
