Tampok sa preview ng Chinese By Blood, Global By Heart ang behind-the-scenes ng Mr. and Ms. Chinatown Global, na ang finale night ay ginanap noong Enero 21, 2025 sa Hilton Manila, Newport Resorts World, Pasay City.
Ayon kay Khryss Go, sobrang honored siya na magwagi sa timpalak na organized ng Chinoy TV at Federation of Filipino Chinese Association of the Philippines Foundation, Inc.
Hindi raw niya iyon ine-expect. Kahit sampu lang silang babae na nagtagisan, grabe raw iyong kalibre ng mga kandidata.
"Sobrang soft-spoken po nila, ang gaganda. So siyempre, ako, medyo overwhelmed,” sambit ni Khryss.
"Kasi kababalik ko lang po sa pageantry. Super grateful po talaga na ako ang na-crown.”
Lumahok siya before sa Bb. Malolos at Bb. Bulacan.
"Pagiging Bulakenya ko po is siyempre iyung pagiging welcoming natin. Dahil iyun po talaga iyong sa Bulacan, e," sambit ng 21-anyos na si Khryss.
"Everywhere you go in Bulacan, you will really feel welcome po talaga."
Inamin ng dalaga na pangarap din niyang mag-artista, at sumali sa Bb. Pilipinas o Miss Universe-Philippines next year or sa 2027.
Pero sa ngayon ay focus muna sa siya sa pag-aaral. Next year pa matatapos siya sa kursong Nursing sa Far Eastern University. Idolo ni Khryss sina Pia Wurzbach at Catriona Gray.

GORGY RULA:
Bago ang preview ng Chinese By Blood, Global By Heart, nagpirmahan ng kontrata ang Chinoy TV at Virtual Playground Co. na official franchise holder ng Mr. and Ms. Chinatown Global Philippines.
Sabi ng CEO ng Virtual Playground Co. na si Charlie Dy, malaking karangalan para sa kanila ang pagiging bahagi ng timpalak na ito.
"As we embark on this journey, we are committed to uplifting the Chinoy community by celebrating individuals who carry with them the pride, heritage, and potential of Chinese-Filipino excellence," sabi ni Mr. Dy.
Nagpasalamat si Mikko Araneta sa tagumpay ng unang taon ng Mr. and Ms. Chinatown Global.
Aniya, malaking hamon para sa second edition ng timpalak na malampasan ang na-accomplish sa unang taon.
Bahagi ng mensahe ni Mikko, “Mr. and Ms. Chinatown Global is a celebration of culture, identity, and unity that transcends borders…
"It is a platform that brings together young Chinese from communities around the world to showcase not only beauty and talent, but also purpose, leadership, and heart.
"This is more than a pageant. This is a global movement. A movement that invites every participant and supporter to rediscover what it truly means to carry heritage with pride, to lead with integrity, and to stand for something bigger than oneself.
"Mr. and Ms. Chinatown Global is a testament to the power of community and the shared dreams of a generation that believes in bridging tradition with tomorrow.
"In a world that often emphasizes differences, we choose to shine a light on what connects us — our stories, our aspirations, and our hope to leave a mark that matters.
"Through this platform, we aim to inspire the next wave of young Chinese trailblazers to not only celebrate their roots, but also to use their voices for impact, innovation, and inclusivity.”
