Hail to the new queen!
Gazini Christiana Ganados is Miss Universe Philippines 2019.
During the final Q & A portion, she was asked by Bobby Barreiro on how she hopes to get more women in the workplace.
Ganados answered, “If I win the crown tonight, what I will do is to promote my advocacy. My advocacy is for us women to fight for our rights and for the elderly care and for us to be able to know that someone is loving and someone is pushing us to whatever ambitions that we have. We will be able to rise from our decisions to whatever dreams that we have, goals that we have, and we will achieve it because of those values, those wisdom that they gave us. Thank you.”
