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 Pangasinan's very own, Maureen Wroblewitz.
Here is the full transcript of her Q&A performance:
Question 1: What's the most important lesson you learned in the past week?
Maureen: "In the past week that everything happened for a reason and that we have experienced a lot of complications but we already know that that's part of what we are experiencing right now which is a pandemic. So we just need to stay positive and stay grateful for what is happening in our lives right now."
Question 2: If beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, in whose eyes are you beautiful?
Maureen: "In my own eyes. I think that's the most important, to be beautiful when you look at yourself in the mirror. And that's why I have learned the importance of self-love and through self-love I have learned to embrace every part of me, good or bad. And that is what I have learned is the most important thing."
Question 3: If we truly learn from our mistakes, would you advise a young person to keep making them?
Maureen: "Well you should still try to achieve the best and still strive to be the best version of yourself, but you just need to recognize that mistakes are part of success and that you need to learn from your mistakes so you can do better the next time."
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?
Maureen: "I will choose the government without corruption because if we don't have corruption we would also not see the poverty. We would see government that takes care of its people. We would see a government who prioritize the safety, the healthcare and then of course our environment which is all very important."
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?
Maureen: "I would say to go with the motivational card or motivational book with some quotes because I think we all need a little bit of positivity everyday. It will definitely help us get through the worst times."
