Here is the complete transcription of the Q&A portion of Miss World Philippines 2017.

Zara Carbonell (24)

 

 

Q: How do beauty pageants contribute to humanity?

A: Beauty pageants go far beyond crown and title. It’s the process of being in the pageant that transforms all these young women. And it’s empowering to know that as you transform the yourself, you transform the world as you know it, because you choose to be the best version of yourself.

Sophia Senoron (35)

 

 

Q: What would you advise a 7-year-old girl who dreams of becoming a beauty queen?

A: I think at a young age, we start our aspirations of what we want to be in life. That’s something I’ve experienced being 17 years old and making it this far. I would tell the girl not to make the pageant her goal but to make what she wants to do with the pageant her destination.

Winwyn Marquez (9)

 

 

Q: How can you convince the judges that you are worthy of becoming miss world Philippines 2017?

A: I live a life of substance and meaning and that is through service. I uphold social awareness and treasure empathy. I am here ready to give my whole self and to give a win win situation to the organization. I will continue to make beautiful life with determine and passion for my advocacy as well.

Cynthia Tomalla (32)

 

 

Q: What do you think is the most important social issue facing our generation?

A: The one social issue that our generation is facing today is the use of social media. A lot of people have been using social media irresponsibly that is causing a lot of conflict and misunderstanding. So I encourage everyone to use social media responsibly to show the world, to spread love and understanding and respect, not just posting for fun. Be mindful of what you post and thank you for that question.

Laura Lehmann (15)

 

 

Q: There are people who believe pageants don’t provide the opportunity to empower women. What would you say to them?

A: To anyone who doesn’t believe in pageants, I would ask them to take a look at the girls tonight because we have lawyers, architects, women of substance who are here not only because of what they look like but because of what’s in their hearts, what’s in their mind, and because what they’ve brought forth beauty with a purpose. they’re helping represent PH and become the best version of the Filipina and for me that’s something only to celebrate.

Jona Sweett (6)

 

 

Q: Would you compete in miss world Philippines if there was no prizes at stake?

A: I believe I would still compete because that is not why I am here. The reason I gave up everything I had in Australia is because I want to be a woman of change. I want to be different. I want to conquer the world, and spread unity among Filipinos.

Glyssa Perez (3)

 

 

Q: All your life your parents have taught you school work to lessons in life. But what have you taught your parents?

A: Living from a different country from the Philippines, one thing I’ve taught my parents is trust. I’m the only girl in the family with three brothers, you can imagine how protective they are. Trust is what I’ve taught them because they allowed me to move to another country, because I’m so passionate about serving the community.

Shiela Marie Reyes (28)

 

 

Q: You were given a one way ticket to embark on a great adventure. Where would that be?

A: I want to go to Jerusalem. I’m a believer of the bible and I wanna go to a place that is in the bible. I am a woman a faith and if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, we can achieve everything, conquer everything even our fears.

Janela Cuaton (26)

 

 

Q: What advice can you give to victims of cyberbullying?

A: I would tell them to know yourself first. Know your worth, because once you know your worth, people who judge you cannot bring you down. And also believe in the people around you, especially your family because they are the ones who are true to you. People on social media, they don’t know you. They saw your photo and they judge you. But the people around you who tell you, you’re beautiful. They are the people who matter.

Cristina Coloma (14)

 

 

Q: What's your take on dating apps and websites? Do you think these will lead to successful relationships?

A: I actually have no problems with dating apps because, as the saying goes: We find love in unexpected places. And if the two people who meet in these dating apps or websites are willing to make the relationship work, then the relationship will be very successful. — LA/KG, GMA News
