She shared this during the virtual press conference on Friday, September 10.
"My advocacy is actually in support with our City Mayor Isko Moreno to give home to the homeless into re-energize Manila which is rich in culture, heritage and arts. Appreciating its history by cleaning dirty walls, we're serving its heritage, constructing infrastructures to become the first rich tourist destination offering more business and job opportunities," she said during the press conference.

Her advocacy slogan is "Pag may turismo , may negosyo, may trabaho, walang gutom at may kapayapaan."
Aside from her advocacy in promoting Manila, she is also helping the less privileged in Tondo.
"With the help of public officials and private individuals, we're currently helping those street children specially in Tondo, Manila. Each and every town, we have a schedule for visit to give out relief goods. One of my charity institutions that I'm currently helping since I was 16 years old is the Hospicio de San Jose. We're helping the elders there and abandon children. Since I was 16, that's my charity up until now," she added.
Escalante, 33, is a proud mother of three children. She is a freelance commercial model and part time movie actress.
She owns a BPO company called Custech Contact Center Philippines and GHVR Trading and Construction, a construction company.
She is the Vice-President of Wanita Filipina that aims to empower women in the country.
As the President of League of Empowered Women in the country, she helps domestic women by giving them support whether emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually.
She was officially designated as the Lady Queen of World-Class Excellence Awards (WCEA), an international organization of like-minded professionals advocating sustainable projects for disenfranchised children, PWDs, and the elderly.
Escalante is competing against 17 other empowered women for the inaugural Mrs. Universe Philippines pageant.
The pageant's final was scheduled on September 10 but due to heightened restriction in Metro Manila, it was cancelled and tentatively moved to September 24 at Okada Manila.
