Miss Universe 2023 Sheynnis Palacios
AFTER malaglag sa Top 5 ang pambato ng Pilipinas na si Michelle Dee sa Miss Universe 2023 grand coronation night, si Miss Nicaragua Sheynnis Palacios ang naging bet namin.
At hindi nga kami nagkamali sa aming hula – siya ang kinoronahang Miss Universe 2023 sa katatapos lang na international beauty pageant.
In fairness, matindi ang naging impact sa mga judges ng kanyang winning answer sa final Question-and-Answer segment kung saan nakalaban niya sina Miss Australia Moraya Wilson at Miss Thailand Anntonia Porsild.
Ang tanong: “If you could live in one year, if you could live one year in another woman’s shoes, who would you choose and why?”
Ang sagot ni Miss Nicaragua, “I would choose Mary Watson-Brad because she opened the gap and gave an opportunity to many women.
“And what I would do, I would want that gap, that income gap, would open up so that women could work in any area that they choose to work in because there are no limitations for women. That was 1750. Now, in 2023, we’re making history,” aniya pa.
Para naman kay Miss Thailand, “I would choose Malala Yousafzai because I know the struggles that she had to deal with in order to get to where she is today.

“She had to fight for women’s education and fight for all women to be able to stand strong and be the change and lead by example. If I could choose anyone, that would be her. Thank you!”
At ang answer naman ni Miss Australia, “I would live my mother’s year in her birth year because she’s a very strong woman.
“She’s tough. She taught me how to work hard. She taught me how to be brave, how to be strong, and I’m forever grateful for those lessons that she taught me,” dagdag pa niya.
Samantala, siguradong naging mahigpit din ang laban ng Top 5 finalists sa Q&A portion.
Narito ang tanong kay Miss Australia, “How would you use the Miss Universe platform to promote global gender equality?” “I would use the Miss Universe platform to push a message.
“I think this community is strong and when we bond together we can create changes.
“And when it comes to gender equality, when we use our voice and we use our power to make a change, that’s when real movement happens. Thank you!”
Ang question kay Karla Guilfú ng Puerto Rico, “If you win tonight, what would you bring to the Miss Universe brand?
“I would use that opportunity to show the world the relevance of beauty queens nowadays. I would use my activism regarding mental health and showing the world how it is important that if we use our voice, if we take our space, if we are courageous enough to be ourselves in this world, I would use the platform to reach in and be that.”

Narito naman ang sagot ni Miss Nicaragua sa question na, “What qualities and values guide you as a leader and role model for others?”
“The quality that has inspired me and has inspired millions of women and girls, I apologize, today is humility and to be able to appreciate all the little things.
Because that’s where the most valuable thing is, the essence of being human. Thank you!”
Ito ang tanong kay Miss Thailand, “If you could speak to a room full of students about online bullying, what would you say?”
“I would say to not listen to what people have to say because in the end, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but it is up to us on how we react to it.
“Use our voice to stand up for what is right and be the change that we want to see in the world by leading by example. Don’t listen to the hate because it doesn’t shape us, but what shapes us is how we get back up and how we move forward from that. Thank you!”
“If this was your last day on earth, how would you live it?” ang tanong na ibinato kay Miss Colombia.
“I am already living it because I’m here. I’m breaking stereotypes being a woman, being a mother. It’s to leave history, a legacy, something that I want to transmit to women, mothers, and children. Thank you!”
