GAZINI GANADOS AT CATRIONA GRAY
ANG Cebuana na si Gazini Ganados mula sa Talisay City ang kinoronahang 2019 Miss Universe Philippines.
Ipinasa ni Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray ang kanyang korona kay Gazini last Sunday sa ginanap na grand coronation night sa Araneta Coliseum.
Bukod kay Gazini, lima pang kandidata ang nakakuha ng korona. Itinanghal na Bb. Pilipinas International 2019 si Bea Patricia Magtanong, Bb. Pilipinas Supranational 2019 naman si Resham Ramirez Saeed, habang si Emma Mary Tiglao ang nanalong Bb. Pilipinas Intercontinental 2019. Ang Bb. Pilipinas Grand International 2019 crown ay napunta kay Samantha Lo at Bb. Pilipinas Globe 2019 naman si Leren Mae Bautista.
At tulad ng mga nakaraang season, naging kaabang-abang pa rin ang question and answer portion para sa bagong batch ng Bb. Pilipinas pageant. Bawat kandidata ay binigyan ng 30 seconds para sagutin ang mga tanong tungkol sa gender equality, freedom of the press at nature conservation.
Unang tanong, “If you win the crown tonight, what can you do to get more women in the workplace?”
Sagot ni Miss Universe Philippines Gazini Ganados, “If I win the crown tonight, what I will do is to promote my advocacy. My advocacy is for us women to fight for our rights and for the LGBT community.
And for us to be able to know that someone is loving us, and someone is pushing us to whatever ambitions that we have. We will be able to rise from our decisions, to whatever dreams that we have, goals that we have, and we will achieve it because of those values, those wisdoms that they gave us. Thank you.”
Ito naman ang tanong kay Bb. Pilipinas International 2019 Bea Patricia Magtanong, “If you have the opportunity to meet somebody globally influencial, who would that be and why?”
“I really idolize Angelina Jolie because she was blessed wth such a thriving career in Hollywood, but then, as a woman, she was able to use that influence, that voice, and that audience to advocate for the causes that she believes in, like world hunger with the UN. And someday, if I am given the chance, I would like to be just like her. Thank you.”
Tanong naman kay Bb. Pilipinas Supranational 2019 Resham Ramirez Saeed, “Recently, migration and migrating became the most searched words on Google. What would you like to say to those disheartened Filipinos who seem to have lost hope for our country?”
“I would say that history has shown us that Filipinos are very good at remaining steadfast despite any hardships or any violent shown towards us. We do not stand for discrimination, and I would say that if you’ve lost your way, turn back to God, and walk towards him. Thank you.”
Ito naman ang sagot ni Bb. Pilipinas Intercontinental 2019 Emma Mary Tiglao sa tanong na, “Is free press important in a democratic society?”
“Yes, it’s important because with the press, we are able to be aware not only in our country Philippines, but also around the world of what’s happening. And as a press, we should be responsible, and also as a citizen, we should be responsible on the credible sites we should look for. Thank you.”
Ang question naman na “What is your best non-physical asset and why do you say so?” ay napunta kay Bb. Pilipinas Grand International 2019 Samantha Lo.
“I believe that the best non-physical asset could be your spirit. I believe that when we have a strong spirit, a strong aura, we shine from within. We spread it. It’s a beautiful butterfly effect, and I continue to encourage everyone to have positivity and show love. There’s no need for negativity. There’s nothing productive about it. Let’s continue to shine and show love to people. Thank you.”
Sagot naman ni Bb. Pilipinas Globe 2019 Leren Mae Bautista sa tanong na, “How do you define success?”
“My definition of success is raising my flag of bravery against bullying. It’s because I experienced hurtful words, heard so many things that hurt my feelings, but the 10-year-old girl fights for her rights, fights for what she believes in, and she believes in herself and trusts herself.”
Nagsilbi namang host sa coronation night sina Anne Curtis at Richard Gutierrez with former beauty queen Nicole Cordovez.
