We would like to congratulate Kylie Fausto Verzosa - the new Miss International for 2016.
At the coronation night held on October 27, 2016 at around 2 pm (Philippines time) in Tokyo, Japan, I was expecting already that she will be included in the top 15 finalists composed of (in order of announcement) Nicaragua, Indonesia, Mexico, Finland, USA, Japan, El Salvador, Canada, Dominican Republic, Argentina, Philippines, Australia, Russia, Thailand, Poland.
She was actually most people's favorite bet for the Binibining Pilipinas 2016 title and we knew she would soon make a name as an international beauty queen going beyond the local scene here in the Philippines.
But I believe she made it real easy for the judges to choose her as the grand winner because of her answer to the Q&A:
But I believe she made it real easy for the judges to choose her as the grand winner because of her answer to the Q&A:
"Three things come to mind when I think of Miss International – Culture, education and international understanding. These three works together to make the brand of the Miss International beauty pageant relevant to the global community and to our time.
If I become Miss International 2016, I will devote myself to cultural understanding and international understanding because I believe that it is with developing in each of us sensitivity to other cultures that weexpand our horizons, tolerate difference, and appreciate diversity.
All these enable us to achieve international understanding. And I believe I’m prepared to take on this responsibility.
Domo arigatou gozaimasu."
Though there were others who also answered brilliantly, I believe the Filipina beauty stood out among the other candidates. They may be all beautiful, but Kylie truly deserves the highest spot in this beauty pageant.
Congratulations, Kylie! You deserve it!
