During the highly-anticipated Q&A portion, each judge was given a chance to ask a candidate a question and Paulo got to ask a question twice.
From here, a series of the night's best memes emerged.

Paulo's first question was directed to Binibini No. 20 Christa Borja.
He asked Christa, "What kind of day would you best describe your life?"
Twitter had a stream of answers of their own to this question:
Paulo Avelino: what's the best day of your life?

For Paulo's second question, things got a bit racy when he asked Binibini No. 32 Charmaine Elima about her opinion on "cursing" or "pagmumura."
