May recently wrapped up her first role in the movie “Duong dua” (Race track) by director Trong Hai. The film will compete in Vietnamese film festivals including Canh Dieu Vang (Golden Kite) and Bong Sen Vang (Golden Lotus) at the end of the year.
Around 90 contestants from around the world are expected to compete in the upcoming Miss Earth beauty pageant.
The winner will serve as a spokesperson for the Miss Earth Foundation, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), and other environmental organizations.
