Masaya ang lahat sa tagumpay na nakamit ni Gwendoline Ruais bilang Runner Up sa 61st Miss World pageant na naganap kahapon, Nobyembre 7, sa Earls Court Two, sa London, England.

Si Lunasol Sarcos Colmenares ng Venezuela ang itinanghal na Miss World 2011. (CLICK HERE for related article.)

Sa panayam ng GMA News kay Gwendoline, inamin nitong kinabahan siya sa magiging resulta ng pageant.

Paliwanag ni Gwendoline, "Siyempre po, I'm competing against 112 gorgeous girls from all around the world. So, mahirap po 'yan."

FOR THE PHILIPPINES. Ang pagbibigay-karangalan sa Pilipinas ang naging motivating force para sa Pinay beauty queen, kahit na aminado itong ninerbyos siya sa kabuuan ng kompetisyon.

Aniya pa, "Kasi, you'll never know what will happen.

"Pero, 'yon lang, nag-focus po ako sa sarili ko po.

"Hindi ko po inisip 'yong ibang kandidata, ako lang po and 'yong country ko po—'yong Pilipinas, of course.

"So, hindi ko talaga inisip kung anong mangyari.

"Iniisip ko lang that I should do my best to make the Philippines proud, 'yon lang po nasa isip ko."

Kaya naman sa kanyang pagkapanalo, ang mensahe ni Gwendoline sa ating mga kababayan:

"Sana po, lahat po kayo, proud sa akin.

"Ginawa ko talaga 'yong best ko para sa buong Pilipinas.

"Sana po, happy po kayo sa akin."

    I loved her answer soo much! I just watched it online and I just kept repeating it over and over. She knew what she was saying. Very confident and her last sentence,.."isn't it great..." that was a nice like kind of interaction with the audience. Then your smile at the end was beautiful. Congratz to you.

    Miss World is Miss World. Miss U is Miss U. The former is UK originated, the latter US. They are 2 different and distinct beauty pageants. Miss World title has been very elusive. To grab the first runner-up by Gwen is something . . . congrats. I am proud of you. The Philippines is proud of you. Is there any Filipino who isn't? If there is, then, he is a forerunner of anti-beauty pageants - and that's the only reason . . .

    The Filipino community in the UK gave their all out support to Ms. World Philippines, Gwen. In their Sunday's best, bought tickets with their hard earned cash even its recession in the UK, to cheer and shout! We are so bloody damn proud of you for representing your best! We are all Filipinos after all.

    i love your answer in the q and a portion of the Miss World Beauty Pageant with a cause... YOU let YOUR HEART speak... You didn't use the abused words " I "," I think " nor " I believe ". instead you've mentioned about the title as real work in the real world... and for that it is not only your outer beauty that shine in that particular moment... but you've let us lead to the inner most part of your heart... you've opened it so that the rest of the world will see the real beauty that is from within... and for that I THANK YOU FOR BEING SO HONESET WITH YOUR ANSWER... MABUHAY KA MISS GWEN... MABUHAY SI MS. CORY QUIRINO, the chairperson of the Miss Philippines-World Beauty Pageant and GMA 7 for joining forces to produce such REAL WINNER. A REAL BEAUTY FROM INSIDE AND OUT...

    She's more deserving than Venezuela. I didn't like her when she won Ms World Philippines kasi beking beki ang dating nya but she was pretty during the Ms. World Pageant. I just realized na ganong klaseng beauty ang para sa Ms. World. I found Ms. Korea pretty as well. Si GWen lang at ang Ms. Korea ang dapat na naging Ms. World.

    its so ironic they call themselves KAPAMILYA, totally opposite in what they do to other people. throwing hurtful words against a Filipina who brought pride to our country, tatak bitter kapampams. this is how ABSCBN mind-conditioned their fantards, attack people connected with GMA-7. very sad. bitter na bitter.
