Missed the coronation night? Here are the inspiring answers of the phenomenal queens during the final Q&A round at Miss Universe Philippines 2021.

For this year's question and answer portion at the Miss Universe Philippines coronation night, each finalist was given 30 seconds to answer a randomly picked question.

Let us look back on how they handled this nerve-racking segment of the competition:

Miss Cebu City Beatrice Luigi Gomez

Question:

If during your reign as Miss Universe Philippines, things happen in your life that make you sad and uninspired, how would you be able to continue inspiring others?

Answer:

“It is very evident that all of us went through difficulty during this pandemic.

"I will not give up and inspire others by rising to the problems I am encountering … that whatever you're going through, you will be able to overcome.”

After besting the 27 other candidates in the competition, Beatrice Luigi Gomez was crowned as the Miss Universe Philippines 2021.

Miss Taguig City Katrina Dimaranan

Question:

What do you think is the most inspiring quality that a Miss Universe Philippines should possess and why?

Answer:

“It would have to be the ability to have compassion and to relate to other people.

"Because as a Miss Universe, it's your job to inspire others and to genuinely want to help, whether [it] be through organizations or companies or groups of people.”

Miss Cavite Victoria Vincent

Question:

In your journey to be Miss Universe Philippines, what has been the most inspiring part and why?

Answer:

“During the pandemic, people have risen to overcome everything that they've gone through, and... I've been incredibly privileged and I haven't had to go through that many issues in my life.

"But meeting so many people who have had so many battles and hearing their stories and hearing how they overcame them, that's what inspires me. That's what inspires me to continue to help the Filipinos in the way that I know how, which is through my advocacy-- through architecture and heritage conservation.”

Miss Pangasinan Maureen Wroblewitz

Question:

If you win the crown tonight, how are you going to inspire other women to get out of their comfort zone?

Answer:

“Just by me being here, I am getting out of my comfort zone. I am conquering my fear because I am afraid to talk in front of a lot of people. But I hope that through me, I get to inspire so many to do the same, to achieve their dreams but to also reach for the universe.”

Miss Cebu Province Steffi Rose Aberasturi

Question:

How will you empower young women and help them become more socially aware?

Answer:

"Now with social media, this tool has been a driving force in all of us, but we have to draw a borderline so that this youth will not take advantage of the social media. We have to see the social media the way it was designed-- that is to unite people and never to divide us in the first place. We have to be responsible users."

Cebu Province's Steffi Aberasturi was the Miss Universe Philippines 2021 2nd runner up.
