The 28 official candidates of Miss Universe Philippines 2021 has survived one of the difficult parts of the competition, the preliminary Q&A round.

The preliminary interview was streamed live on Friday, September 24 on KTX.

This portion of the pageant tested the wit and intelligence of the contestants and will determine who will make it in the Top 16.

Each delegate were asked five questions. Four of them came from MUPh Organization and one question from Lazada. The delegates had 30 seconds to answer each question until they hear the bell.

One of the delegates who stood out in the competition is Miss Masbate, Kisses Delavin.

Here is the full transcript of her Q&A performance:


Question 1: What's the most important lesson you learned in the past week?

Kisses: "I think it's embracing the moment, really enjoying the moment for what it is like a song. I think I met so many people the past week that I really treasure. Of course it's on my dream, the Miss Universe crown, but I also just embrace the moment, and that's one of the best parts."


Question 2: If beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, in whose eyes are you beautiful?


Kisses: "In my own eyes. I always make sure that everyday when I go out, when I'm doing my own make-up that my standard of beauty is myself. We all have our preferences on what's beautiful but I think that I am beautiful because I am me. I think if I can show a girl that she can feel like that as well, that something that I would be proud of for the rest of my life."


Question 3: If we truly learn from our mistakes, would you advise a young person to keep making them?

Kisses: "Absolutely! I think when I was 17 years old I have made so many mistakes in my life. Just thinking about them right now makes me nervous but I think all those mistakes like not trusting myself enough to love someone. All those mistakes will make me take more risks in the future and now. Which is why I always take more risk now because I used not to."


Question 4: If you have the power to do ONE of the following: Eliminate poverty and hunger, A government with no graft & corruption or solve all environmental problems, which would you choose?

Kisses: "I think the closest thing to my heart is eliminating hunger because coming from Masbate, there are a lot of places out there that really need, children who need nourishment. And I think that's one of the biggest things that I need to focus on as a privilege person. I am not ashamed of my privilege but I think that I should do more in my whole life and especially as a miracle baby."


Question 5: If you were to add cart one item to buy on Lazada to send to all Filipinas to help inspire them during this time, what would it be and why?

Kisses: "I think it's a rosary because that's what my mother gave me when I went into the pageant. My mother was nervous about me coming into a pageant because she thinks that I always need here, but I always do need her. But I also have the strength that wherever I go, I can do my best because the rosary is with me."


The grand coronation night will be on September 30 at the Henann Resort Convention Center in Panglao, Bohol.
