Bago pa man magsimula ang laban, may payo na si Bea para sa mga kandidata ng Miss Universe Philippines 2023.
Para kay Bea, dapat ay may mas malalim na dahilan ang kanilang pagsali sa Miss Universe Philippines, at hindi lang para ma-experience ito, kung nais talaga nilang mapanalunan ang korona.
Aniya, "Siguro to the aspirants... most of the girls kasi, they join pageants because they want to experience what pageant is like.
"But as we all see in this year’s Miss Universe, you have to go to the pageant with experience. You have to see Miss Universe as a platform talaga.
"You're not just going there to experience [the pageant], but to bring all your experiences and then show to everyone what you can offer."
Nakapanayam ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) si Bea sa launch ng partnership ng GoTyme Bank, Go Rewards, at Cebu Pacific nitong nakaraang February 9, 2023, Huwebes, sa Palacio de Memoria, Parañaque City.

TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADER
Dagdag ni Bea, dapat din tandaan ng mga kandidata na isang "transformational leader" ang hanap ng Miss Universe Organization gaya ng ipinamalas ng batchmate nito, ang Miss Universe 2021 winner na si Harnaaz Kaur Sandhu.
Ito rin katangiang hanap ng bagong owner ng Miss Universe Organization, and Thai billionaire na si Anne Jakrajutatip.
Sabi ni Bea, "Well, my take on that is that is Harnaaz, the winner during my batch, did a really great job.
"My observation is that the winner they are looking for is someone who can continue the work that she has done.
"That’s why no wonder R’Bonney [Gabriel] won because she has definitely what it takes to continue the work that Harnaaz has already done."

Importante rin para kay Bea ang authenticity at strong core ng susunod na beauty queen na magdadala ng pangalan ng Pilipinas sa Miss Universe stage.
Paliwanag nito, "Going to Miss Universe, there’s a lot of challenges that you will go through and you will also evolve as a person.
"But you must also never forget where you came from, who you are.
"That will be your core when everything is difficult and challenging, you have yourself to depend on.
"If you know who you are, you will not be lost during the competition.
"You will always remember what your purpose is before going to the competition and that’s why to know yourself, to be yourself during the competition."
