Miss World Philippines 2022 winners
BUKOD kay Miss Negros Occidental Gwendolyne Fourniol na kinoronahang Miss World Philippines 2022, apat pang beauty queen ang nagwagi sa ginanap na grand coronation kagabi sa Mall of Asia Arena sa Pasay City.
Itinanghal na Miss Supranational Philippines 2022 si Alison Black ng Las Piñas City; Miss Eco Philippines 2022 naman si Ashley Montenegro ng Parañaque; Miss Reina Hispanoamericana Filipinas si Ingrid Santamaria ng Makati; at Miss Eco Teen Philippines naman si Beatriz Mclelland ng Aklan.
Waging Miss World Tourism 2022 (1st Princess) si Justine Felizarta ng Marikina at Miss World Philippines Charity 2022 (2nd Princess) naman si Casandra Chan ng San Juan City.
Narito ang kanilang winning answer sa ginanap na Q&A segment (dalawang round) ng nasabing national pageant.
Tanong kay Alison Black (Miss Supranational Philippines 2022), “Everybody describes you as a girl boss because your project is very innovative. Why do you think entrepreneurship is still an uphill climb for women in the Philippines today?”
“Entrepreneurship is not something we teach our women when they are young. That’s something I want to address with my Girl Boss project. I am a business graduate and I’ve seen how women are not treated the same in business and how women are treated in a sense that they have to get married to earn money.
“They do not have control over their own lives. They don’t have autonomy. With Girl Boss, I want the youth to realize that this is possible. There is a life where they can pilot their future, and their destinies, and people strive for what they think is possible. Let’s make our girls believe.”
Isa pang tanong sa kanya, “If you were to be appointed as Department of Tourism secretary, what innovation will you implement to boost cultural tourism?”
“It would definitely be sustainable tourism. The Philippines is such a melting pot of different cultures and we are the best tourist spot in the whole world but because we are so popular, we are degrading the environment and we are losing the touch with our culture.
“So, if we can promote sustainable tourism by avoiding over-tourism and making sure that each Filipino gets to explore each and every corner of the Philippines then we can celebrate the Philippines while protecting it.”

Ito naman ang question kay Ashley Subijano Montenegro (Miss Eco Philippines 2022), “You have a passion for embracing challenges whether on a personal level or a social level. How can you relate to the everyday challenge of an ordinary Filipino and how can you help alleviate their state?”
Tugon ng dalaga, “The COVID pandemic has highlighted the many hardships we all had to go through to all kinds of degrees. Personally, my income was affected, my education was affected as well as the relationships with those I love dearly.
“But through this, we persevere through those challenges. Through our passion for the things we care most about, through our hope for that light at the end of the tunnel, we move forward.
“I encourage people to find that passion and let it burn the fire within you and let that fire become your light at the end of the tunnel. Because when we self-empower ourselves, we are capable of overcoming any calamity, embracing any challenge, and entertaining anything in this beautiful world.”
Ang next question ay, “Should bloggers and vloggers be accredited as members of mainstream media?”
“I do believe so because they are voices for the things that they care about, for other people as well as those that they represent. Bloggers and vloggers do their best to provide people with information in all shapes, size, forms, and platforms.
“My mother personally is a vlogger and I know that she proudly advocates and shares all the things she’s passionate about. Anyone can be well educated on a subject if they’re passionate and dedicated and if people use credible sources, then absolutely.”
Para naman kay Ingrid Santamaria (Miss Reina Hispanoamericana Filipinas), here’s the question, “Your Beauty with a Purpose narrative is taken from a place of privilege to a place of charity. How do you intend to influence more people to give more to those who have less especially the 4 million out-of-school youth displaced by the pandemic?”
Sagot ni Ingrid, “I’m somebody who was privileged enough to garner an education because I didn’t have to worry about the circumstances around me, there are 4 million out of school youth because they can’t control their circumstances, and those circumstances they don’t have the resources, they don’t have the ways to provide for online learning and once you have an education it sets you free.
“You are able to be free to pursue your personal goals and with that freedom, you were able to help others because I have an education, I want to be inspired, I want to be educated and I want to help others to be educated as well. I call on everybody to be able to use that love, use that power that you have, and use that knowledge you have to be able to uplift others so that as a society, we will all be able to grow.”
Sinagot din niya ang tanong na, “How do you think can we unite as a people under one flag after a very divisive election?”
Tugon ng dalaga, “To be able to unite as a people, we need to remember that we are working toward one common goal and that one common goal is to make our nation a better place develop our nation, support our communities, to grow our cultures and our heritage. No matter what our political beliefs are, no matter what our religion is, we should all remember to start with respect.
“We should respect each and every individual whether or not we agree with their sentiments and then we can be able to learn how to be united, how to work towards a common goal, and how to create a better world.”
Question naman kay Beatriz McLelland (Miss Eco Teen Philippines 2022), “Cervical cancer is said to be the second most deadly cancer that women all over the world have to fight against. In facing this women’s health issue, how can we get more men involved with your advocacy for cervical cancer prevention?”
Aniya, “Actually, I would like to say that it’s really detrimental that this issue in our country is really overlooked and not much talked about. One of the reasons I joined a beauty pageant like Miss World Philippines is because my audience is not only women but also men and all genders.
“Not only would I like to target men, but all genders, all the people all over the world to listen to this issue… I think that’s one of the most important things that I can do as a Miss World candidate and off stage.”
Next question naman sa kanya ay, “Do you agree that we should tax the rich even more to help the country rebound from the pandemic?”
“Definitely, I think. Am I right about the rich? I think these are the people who are in businesses, who have successful ones, and I think they should be taxed as high as they can to help the people who are in need, especially through the pandemic. I think it’s really concerning for them, it should be concerning for them that they should contribute to the economy, to the people around them instead of just focusing on their own businesses and their own pleasure and interest and so that I think that they should be taxed higher so that they could help their fellow citizens.”
