Kylie Verzosa looking forward to passing her Bb. Pilipinas crown to her successor

Reigning Miss International Kylie Verzosa will be saying goodbye to her Binibining Pilipinas crown tonight, and in an Instagram post on Sunday, the beauty queen said that she is "happy to pass it on."

 

Its been one whole year since I've had the Philippine Crown, tonight I am happy to pass it on. The real challenge for us queens is to ensure that pageants remain relevant to women and society today. I have tried my best to be a well-spoken representative of the Philippine people to embody our values of strength and hardwork and spread awareness of the things that matter the most. Thank you to my family for being my rock, friends and mentors, especially to my Angels. Thank you! Tonight I may pass on the Philippine crown, but I will still be your Miss International 2016, always, proudly representing the Philippines. ???????? #missinternational2016 #binibiningpilipinas

Verzosa, an early favorite in Binibining Pilipinas 2015, was chosen to represent the Philippines at the 2016 Miss International pageant. She won the global pageant, bringing home the country's sixth Miss International crown, and is currently fulfilling her promise to promote mental health awareness during her reign.

"I have tried my best to be a well-spoken representative of the Philippine people to embody our values of strength and hard work and spread awareness of the things that matter the most," she continued in her post.

The beauty queen then thanked her family and her fans, adding, "Tonight I may pass on the Philippine crown, but I will still be your Miss International 2016, always, proudly representing the Philippines."
