To be prepared. Because in life it is very important to be prepared because it lessens the stress, it lessens the anxiety and I am very glad that I did my training early on even before Miss Universe. I already have a lot of weapon behind me.

• If you were to add to [your] cart one item to buy from Lazada to send to all Filipinos to help inspire them during this time, what would it be and why?

I would give them a journal. Because being able to know who you are and to talk about it, really helped everyone specially during this pandemic for their mental health. And that’s one thing I would add to cart.

Coronation Night and Winning Answer

The live coronation night was held in Panglao, Bohol on September 30. It was a novel competition that started with 100 delegates who went through a series of challenges. Until only the top 30 candidates were chosen to compete in-person during the coronation night.

During the pageant’s Q&A segment, the Top 5 candidates responded to questions randomly picked. Each of them was only given 30 seconds for an eloquent response.

“It is very evident that all of us went through difficulties during this pandemic, but it is also proof that we are able to rise to the occasion, and if anything happened to me during my reign, I will not give up and inspire others by rising to the problems that I am encountering and by inspiring them that what you are going through, you will be able to overcome it.”
