Screen grab from The Boy Abunda Talk Channel on Youtube

In the Part 3 of Boy Abunda's online talk show called 'The Purple Chair Interview', Miss Universe Philippines 2021 candidate Kisses Delavin has proved that she is ready to nail the preliminary Q&A round.

She was asked a series of questions to test her wit and intelligence comes pageant proper.

Should a transgender woman be allowed to join beauty pageants? She responded with ease, "If that transwoman would be able to to celebrate herself the most if she joins the Miss Universe pageant, go for it because women are multidimensional. And, if you are a transwoman and you want to win Miss Universe, put your heart into it, you will make a change."

The former PBB housemate also answered the controversial question from Bb. Pilipinas 2021- 'When is it okay to not be okay and when is it not okay to be not okay?'

"It's okay to be not okay when you need time to heal. But it's not okay to continue to be not okay when some people can benefit from you fighting to go into the deep and try to be okay no matter how hard it is so that other people, you can help other people to be okay," Delavin said.

Would you rather be influential or powerful?

"I think I would rather be influential because when you speak to someone and you're influential, you're able to make this person rise up. Most specially now in this COVID pandemic. If there is an anti-vaxxer, there is so much power if you're influential because this person will be able to be swayed into the right direction if you know how to say the right words."

On why she deserved the crown, she said, "I think I deserve the crown because I have been preparing for this my whole life. The world has prepared me for this."

"The experiences that have been given to me, the love...because I am able to give as much, so much love because I have first received that love from my mom, from my dad."
