Bago ganapin ang Miss Supranational 2021 grand coronation night, isa si Dindi sa mga itinuturing na strong competitors dahil palagi siyang pasok sa mga top choices sa ginanap na online challenges.
Nakasama siya sa Top 10 ng Supra Fan-vote at Supra Influencer challenge at naging 1st runner-up pa sa Miss Elegance challenge.
Sa second semi-final round ng Supra Chat, natanong si Pajares kung ano ang gusto niyang maalala sa kanya ng publiko sakaling hindi niya masungkit ang Miss Supranational 2021 crown.
“I want people to remember me for my ‘never give up’ attitude. After the competition, if you fail, you didn’t make it, use the opportunity to promote your advocacy.
“You have that advocacy not because… you’re not promoting it just because you’re in a pageant. You have that advocacy because that’s your purpose and that motivates you to keep on going and do something nice.
“So remember that this is not the end of the world, this is not the end of your journey as a Supranational queen.
“I’m going to continue my life as an Air Force reservist, serving my community. And at the same time, I’m very much willing to support the Miss Supranational, the winner, to continue what she wanted to pursue, and also get in touch with the organization and also still continue to share and to promote my advocacy,” aniya pa.
