Miss Universe 2022 R’Bonney Gabriel
SUPER proud din ang nagwaging Miss Universe 2022 na si R’Bonney Gabriel mula sa USA sa pagkakaroon ng dugong Filipino.
Sa naganap na presscon kanina (Philippine time) matapos ang grand coronation ay nabanggit nga ni R’Bonney na hinding-hindi niya nakakalimutan ang kanyang pagiging Pinoy.
“Filipinos love pageantry. To be half-Filipino, I feel like that helped me feel the energy in the crowd. The support is everything. I feel blessed.
“As the first Filipino-American Miss Universe, I can now be a voice, a larger voice for other girls and just show them that you need to embrace who you are. It’s so important. Embrace what makes you different,” pahayag ng beauty queen mula sa report ng ABS-CBN.
Filipino ang tatay ni R’Bonney at naniniwala siya na ang pagkapanalo niya Miss Universe 2022 ay may malaking maitutulong sa kasalukuyang sitwasyon ng Filipino-American communities sa Amerika.
“I think this will make Filipinos even more proud to be a Filipino. Whenever you see someone similar to you, whether that’s a culture or somebody that is in the same sports as you or has the same interest as you, you get excited and you want to embrace more of who you are.

“So, I am so excited for Filipinos to be shown in that light and continue to celebrate that,” sabi pa niya.
Sa tanong kung ano ang naramdaman niya nang finally ay naiputong na sa kanya ang bagong Miss Universe crown, “It is the best feeling. The journey was not easy.
“I won Miss USA in October. I had three months to prepare. It was very challenging. There were ups and downs and times where I doubted myself but I always felt like I have a purpose.
“I always go back to my purpose as to why I am doing this. I realized that your purpose is something people can’t take away from you.
“No one can take away a strong foundation or core that you have. I always go back to that. It’s such an amazing feeling to be standing here now as Miss Universe,” paliwanag ng dalaga.
Bago manalong Miss Universe, napakarami rin niyang dinanas na hirap at sakripisyo at sana raw ay maging inspirasyon siya sa lahat ng tao sa buong mundo.
“Your failure can actually be an opportunity to come back stronger. If not now, then when? That was on my swimsuit cape.
“That is my favorite saying that I was talking about. My father would always say that because now more than ever is the time to do things that you want to do, whatever that is,” paalala pa niya.
Sa isang bahagi ng presscon, sinabi ni R’Bonney na sana’y makabisita uli siya sa Pilipinas, “My world just got turned upside down but I absolutely would love to visit the Philippines. I was speaking with a friend a couple of months ago that’s in the Philippines, he’s a designer.
“I told him I would love to set up some sewing workshops and teach little girls how to sew. It’s all about planting the seeds and giving them the creative opportunity.
“I really look forward to that and I hope I have the opportunity to do that in the Philippines hopefully within the next few months.
“Mabuhay Philippines, mabuhay Filipino fans. Maraming, maraming salamat sa lahat ng tulong ninyo.
“The support is everything. I feel it in my heart. I heard it in the room. It was an amazing energy. The Filipino blood is so strong. We are hardworking, we are fun and we are determined. I am so proud to be a half-Filipina,” sabi pa ng bagong Miss Universe.
Ang pambato naman ng Pilipinas na si Celeste Cortesi ay hindi na umabot sa Top 16.
