Samantala, sa panayam kay Bb. Pilipinas-Universe Rachel Peters, sinabi nitong speechless pa rin siya sa kanyang pagkapanalo, “Honestly it hasn’t even sunken yet. To me this is such a dream come true. I have no words, but I am so happy.”
Ang nagtanong sa dalaga during the question and answer portion ay si European Union Ambassdor to the Philippines Franz Jessen. Ang tanong, “This week, the Philippines hosted the ASEAN (Assocation of Southeast Asian Nations) Summit. If you were invited to speak, what would have been your message to the leaders?”
Na sinagot naman ni Rachel ng, “I believe that one of the biggest problems that our country faces today is divisiveness – in politics, in religion and also in culture.
“And I believe that it’s something that is the same across the world. And so that is something I would want to address. I believe that when people can learn to tolerate each other’s differences and respect each other’s opinions, then we will be a stronger nation going forward.”
