Sunod naman ay sumalang ang top 15 contestants sa Q&A round. Dito ay isa-isang sumagot ang hopeful queens sa sari-saring tanong ng BBP judges.
SAMANTHA VIKTORIA ACOSTA FROM BULACAN
Una sa tanungan si Samantha Viktoria Acosta from Bulacan.
Tanong ni Margie Moran, “What do you think are the qualities of a Binibini that sets her apart from other beauty pageant candidates?”
Sagot ni Miss Bulacan, pareho sila ng vision ng BPCI sa nation-building at pagtulong sa mga kabataan na umahon sa kahirapan.
“I think a Binibining Pilipinas queen is someone who invites everyone to promote sustainable development, dignity and social justice and for the marginalized sector of society to gain the hope they once had,” pagpapatuloy niya.
ROELLA SOLIS OF CALUMPIT, BULACAN
Next naman si Roella Solis from Calumpit, Bulacan.
Tanong sa kanya ni Gloria Diaz, ano raw ang “physical asset” na meron siya para manalo sa BBP.
Sa kanyang sagot, binanggit ni Roella ang pagkamatay ng kanyang lola. “Eight days ago, my grandmother died. And I know that she is in heaven watching me and proud of me that she has the best seat in heaven watching me over.”
Dahil tila hindi nasagot ang tanong ay nag-follow up si Miss Gloria.
Sagot agad ni Roella, “What physical asset I have is, I am beautiful. Aside from that, I have a mission and vision in life that makes me apart from the other candidate.”
MONICA ACUNO OF KALAYAAN, LAGUNA
Pangatlo sa tanungan si Monica Acuno from Kalayaan, Laguna.
Tanong naman ni judge Fifi Sharma, sino sa past BBP queens over the past 60 years ang nag-inspire sa kanya.
Venus Raj ang sagot ni Miss Kalayaan, Laguna. “Because we have the same story of coming from a very humble beginning. And as a committed Binibini who have high hopes and dreams, I would like to use this platform to inspire a lot of people who come from humble beginning to push forward, do not limit yourself, achieve your dream, whatever it is.”
PHOEBE TUTOR GODINEZ OF LAPU-LAPU CITY
Pang-apat na sumalang si Phoebe Tutor Godinez from Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu,
Hango naman sa current events and tanong sa kanya ni judge Bea Rose Santiago. “If you can speak to the fishermen risking their lives at the West Philippine Sea, what would you tell them?”
“I would tell the fishermen to not lose hope. Because I trust in our political leaders that they will pursue dialogue over division. And I know that the Philippines will certainly win with just our words,” ang maikling sagot ni Phoebe.
CARMELLA JOY CUARESMA OF AURORA PROVINCE
Panlima naman si Carmella Joy Cuaresma from Aurora Province.
Tanong ni Conchitina Bernardo, ano kaya ang legacy na iiwanan niya kung manalo siya ngayong gabi.
Tila pasikot-sikot ang sagot ni Miss Aurora Province. “The legacy that I will leave here is my own unique story. Coming from the province, remote area of Aurora Province. Trying here, transitioning to province life to city life. And I am here, trying my best to be the service and be part of this humanitarian action of Binibinang Pilipinas. And that is something that I will leave here in Binibinang Pilipinas, as a part of this humanitarian mission of Binibinang Pilipinas.”
KIM VELASCO DE LUNA OF CALOOCAN
Pang-anim naman si Kim Velasco De Luna from Caloocan.
Tanong naman ni Rhea Tan, sino kayang past BBP winner ang nais niyang kausapin at anong advise ang hihingan niya.
Si Samantha Bernardo ang kanyang sagot na naging Binibinang Pilipinas Grand International noong 2020.
“To be honest, she has taken a huge part of my life, joining Binibining Pilipinas,” bungad ni Miss Caloocan.
Sa pagpapatuloy ng kanyang sagot ay hindi niya nasabi kung anong advise ang hihingin niya kay Samantha. “And it took me 27 years, preparing myself, knowing my story and my core values, bringing it up to this stage. And as a woman of action, I am inspired to do the same with my fellow Filipino. As a Philippine air force reserve and a youth director of young men’s Christian association, my main mission is to uplift and inspire the young generation to believe in their own capabilities and talent. And wherever this crown will bring me, I am surely ready for my destiny.”
KARA DANIELA VILLAROSA FROM NEGROS OCCIDENTAL
Pampitong sumalang si Kara Daniela Villarosa from Negros Occidental.
Tanong ni judge Pia Wurtzbach, “Where did you spend your childhood and how did your experience there shape your identity.”
“I spent most of my childhood at home,” bungad ni Kara. “And that has shaped me to the woman I am right now, because it taught me to be myself. As a Binibini, I think it’s very important to stay true to yourself and your Filipinbo values because I believe that because I stayed true to my core, I am a reflection of a true Binibini. And that is a woman of purpose, a woman of grit and a woman of legacy.”
CHRISTAL JEAN DELA CRUZ FROM ZAMBALES
Pangwalo naman si Christal Jean Dela Cruz from Zambales.
Tanong sa kanya ng Venezuelan judge na si Andrea Rubio, “In an ever-changing world, what is one thing you wish will stay the same and why.”
“Being empathetic with one another,” ang sagot ni Christal. “Because if we have empathy, nothing bad will happen. Adversities we’ll never face, because kindness will always stay true. And that is something that we need to do. That is what we need, to always have the heart for everyone.”
VIENNE SIRIN FEUCHT FROM CALAMBA, LAGUNA
Pansiyam naman sa tanungan si Vienne Sirin Feucht from Calamba, Laguna.
Tanong sa kanya ni Rhea Tan, sino kayang historical figure ang iimbitahin niyang judge sa BBP at ano kayang perspective ang kanyang dadalhin.
Ang French philospher at writer na si Simone de Beauvoir ang sinagot ni Vienne. “She may not be alive right now, but she is the most influential historical figure to me. Because as an advocate of anti-violence against women and children, she has opened my eyes that we women have the most right to be powerful because we can lead an entire army. And I want her to see the strong women versions in this generation.”
JASMIN BUNGAY FROM PAMPANGA
Pansampu namang sumalang si Jasmin Bungay from Pampanga.
Si Gloria Diaz muli ang nagtanong.
“This is a very easy question,” panimula ng hurado. “If you were given 30 minutes to talk to the public, what would you talk about?”
Sagot ni Jasmin, nais niya raw pag-usapan ang pagpasa ng SOGIESC Bill. Ang ibig sabihin ng SOGIESC ay sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression and sex characteristics, at nais ng naturang bill na pigilan ang diskriminasyon sa LGBTQIA+ community sa bansa.
Paliwanag ni Miss Pampanga, “Because in these celebrations such as pageants, this community has contributed so much. And in this regard, we can give back to them, by supporting this cause. Because as an individua,l it is our responsibility that we ensure that everyone is treated equally despite their SOGIE.”
MYRNA ESGUERRA FROM ABRA
Panlabing-isa sa tanungan si Myrna Esguerra from Abra.
Tungkol sa time travel ang tanong ni Miss Margie Moran. Kung may time machine daw na kayang ibalik si Miss Abra sa 1964, sa simula ng BBP, ano kaya ang sasabihin niya sa mga babae noon tungkol sa mga babae ngayon.
“I will tell to the women of the past that we have achieved our goal, which is to empower women,” sagot ni Miss Abra. “Standing here at the age of 17, I started to finance for my own studies and help my family financially. I was able to do this by all these women who paved the way to empower us to always reach for our goals no matter what it is. Because in life we can always achieve our dreams as long that we believe that we can. And thanks to them all.”
TRACY MAE SUNIO FROM BACOLOD CITY
Panlabindalawa naman si Tracy Mae Sunio from Bacolod City.
Tanong sa kanya ni Bea Rose Santiago, “What role does pageantry play in this current era of social media that offers instant access of entertainment and information?”
Sagot ni Tracy, marami raw nanonood ng beauty pageants dahil ito ay selebrasyon ng kagandahan at iba’t ibang kultura. “With this big platform such as Binibining Pilipinas, we can easily share our advocacies and factual information to the people, especially to those who are watching. Because what we need now is a collaborative for everyone to be together.”
TRISHA MARTINEZ FROM PILA, LAGUNA
Panlabintatlo naman si Trisha Martinez from Pila, Laguna.
Tanong sa kanya ni Andrea Rubio, paano kaya niya na-manage ang kanyang oras sa pagsali sa BBP.
Sagot ni Trisha, “I am a licensed dentist. I’m also a business owner and a Binibini for the second time around. And so as I reclaim my destiny tonight, how I manage my time? I got it from my purpose, I got it from my heart. I really want to contribute to the 60 glorious years of Binibining Pilipinas. And that’s how I manage my time with the demands of Binibini. And I am ready. After all, that’s the Binibini I aspire to be, with the heart and dignity for the community.”
SHANNEN MANZANO FROM GENERAL SANTOS CITY
Panlabing-apat si Shannen Manzano from General Santos City.
Tungkol sa pillin mo ang Pilipinas trend ang tanong ni Pia Wurtzbach. “What is that one thing about the country that will always make you choose the Philippines?”
“The Filipina,” sagot agad ni Miss General Santos City. “We Binibinis are the most precious gem, or diamond the Philippines have. Because I do believe we are a representation of resilience, power and victory of authenticity, that we are the voice, the mind and the soul of each and every voiceless youth that could be there. And I know that the Binibini is the most precious gem that the Philippines could have.”
MARIKIT MANAOIS FROM BAGUIO
Huling sumalang sa tanungan si Marikit Manaois from Baguio.
Tanong ni Fifi Sharma, ano ang huling nagpatawa kay Marikit.
Sagot ni Miss Baguio, siya raw ay isang bubbly person na madaling tumawa sa kahit simpleng joke. “And I think it greatly reflects my personality as a person. I am a grateful person, I’m every appreciative of anything. And I think that we should be the same. I think that if each and every one of us is appreciative, then not just the things that we see will change, but how we see things will also change.”
