Sa panayam ni Dyan Castillejo kay Beatrice kahapon, December 13, sinabi ng Cebuana beauty queen na malapit sila ng bagong hirang na Miss Universe.
Sabi nito, “Si Miss India, she’s one of our roommates, and we all knew na siya po talaga yung mananalo.
"We are all rooting for her, kasi nga she works really hard, and there are even times na sobrang pressured niya na tinutulungan namin siya.
“So, we're very happy for her. We know what she's capable of and we’re very happy with the result. We’re proud of her.”
