During the question and answer portion, Laura was asked what she would say to non-believers of beauty pageants.
Laura answered: “To anyone who don’t believe in pageants, I would ask them to take a look at the girls tonight because we have lawyers, architects, women of substance who are here not only because of what they look like but because of what’s in their hearts, what’s in their mind, and because what they’ve brought forth beauty with a purpose. they’re helping represent the Philippines and become the best version of the Filipina and for me that’s something only to celebrate.”
Carla Abellana, Iya Villania and KC Montero were on hand to host the show.
