In the dynamic world of entrepreneurship, few stories capture the essence of determination and resilience as profoundly as that of Maryrose Salubre. Her journey from humble beginnings in the Philippines to becoming a global advocate for empowerment is nothing short of extraordinary.
Born and raised in the Philippines, Maryrose grew up surrounded by cultural expectations and societal norms that could have easily confined her aspirations. Yet, from an early age, she carried an unshakable vision—a belief that her life could transcend these boundaries. Her story, as shared in her book, is not just a narrative of success but a testament to what can be achieved when courage and persistence converge.
“I saw a future beyond my surroundings,” Maryrose writes. “A world where I could embody strength and empathy, speaking up for the overlooked and leading those wanting to break free from obscurity.”
Early Struggles and Building Resilience
Challenges marked Maryrose’s early life, but education gave her solace and a sense of purpose. The values of independence, hard work, and integrity became her guiding principles, laying the foundation for the remarkable achievements that would follow.
In 1994, Maryrose boldly decided to move to Australia with little more than a dream and an indomitable drive to succeed. The transition to a foreign land was not easy. She balanced multiple jobs while studying at TAFE and adjusting to a new culture while nurturing her ambitions.
Her entrepreneurial journey began with small yet significant victories, each reinforcing the strength she had cultivated over the years. However, as she candidly reveals in her book, life is rarely smooth.
From Single Mother to Global Advocate
Maryrose’s journey is one of transformation, from navigating the challenges of being a single mother to founding Salubre Models International and launching Mrs. Universe Official, a platform that has empowered women globally. Through her initiatives, Maryrose has created opportunities for others, enabling them to shine and break free from societal constraints.
Yet, her rise was not without its battles. One of the most defining moments of her life was a legal dispute with one of Australia’s major banks over property investments. This high-stakes battle tested her resilience, business acumen, and determination. “It wasn’t just about the property,” Maryrose shares. “It was about defending everything I had worked so hard to build.”
A Legacy of Strength and Inspiration
Maryrose’s autobiography offers an unfiltered glimpse into her life—her triumphs, setbacks, and the unwavering spirit that carried her through. From her arrival in Australia to her roles as a businesswoman, mother, advocate, and leader, every chapter is a testament to her perseverance.
She recounts her early days working in sales and even as a film extra, her dream of creating a pageant platform, and the courtroom battles that tested her mettle. Through it all, she has emerged as a beacon of inspiration for those facing their own struggles.
“For those who seek purpose, those who are told they cannot, and those who dream against all odds—this is for you,” Maryrose writes.
A Story for the Ages
