“My main reason for being here today is to represent my country, to show the world that the Filipinos are hardworking. ‘Hey, we can do this! No matter what happens, no matter what crisis we go through, we’re willing to help other people.’ It would be an honor to be a part of the Miss World Organisation and I’m sure that the Filipinos will be right be right behind me. They’ll be in the journey to Miss World as well.”

“Miss World, for me, treasures the core values of humanity and that guides her into understanding people why they act the way they do, how they live their lives and I will use these core values and my understanding not only in helping others but to show people how they can understand others, to help others, so that as one, together, we shall help society.”

“No words. Salamat sa mga kababayan ko. Mahal na mahal ko kayo. Thank you so much to everyone for choosing me to be the next Miss World. It really means a lot to me and I promise to be the best Miss World ever… I always tell everyone that I would just be myself in everything that I do. To share what I know, and to educate people on what they could do also to help is what I'm gonna do in this next year and I’m very, very excited. Salamat, salamat talaga sa aking mga kababayang Pilipino. Para sa inyo 'to.”
 
November 2014: A month before passing on the Miss World crown

“Syempre one year mo lang talaga masusuot ‘yung blue crown na suot ko ngayon, and you know, kaisa-isa lang 'to so syempre, ‘pag nakita mo ‘yung bagong Miss World, medyo may kirot ng konti sa puso kasi you know, crown ko ‘yun eh.”
 
Although she’s set to turn over the Miss World crown to the next winner this December, she will still continue with her work with the organization.
