The ‘pretty strong’ life of Miss Earth 2015 Angelia Ong

MANILA, Philippines – Newly-crowned Miss Earth 2015 Angelia Gabrena Ong (photo) carried the Philippine flag to the world stage in a showcase of class and elegance last December in Austria, and beat some 85 delegates.

Global outdoor brand Merrell sits with Angelia to know her better.

Living up to the adventurous heritage of Merrell, the Pretty Strong campaign draws and celebrates women who are bold, good natured, confident and independent. Just like Angelia, one can be Pretty Strong with her heart on her sleeve and Merrell on her feet.

When asked about Pretty Strong, Angelia, who multi-tasked as a working student back in her college days, shared: “When I was able to earn and actually pay for my own bills, my tuition, it was really empowering.”

Angelia sports a Merrell Bare Access Arc 4 and shared that her pair was “awesome because it’s very lightweight.” Her Bare Access Arc 4 also gives a full-foot connection, added cushioning, and hyper responsive insole that are perfect not just for running but also for going over daily errands.
