We still have a reign, and I think I’m just enjoying that,” she said, referring to the top five winners, including Miss Universe Philippines 2021 titlist Bea Gomez.</p><p>Wroblewitz, however, did not discount the possibility of returning to the pageant stage in the future.</p><p>“I would want to maybe train a bit longer if I do decide to [join]. I remember, on the coronation night, I said that it was going to be my first and last pageant. But then, I don’t know, we never know,” she said.</p><p>For now, Wroblewitz intends to focus on making the most out of her year-long reign as runner-up, and lend her voice to causes dear to her, including breast cancer awareness.</p><p>Timing, and perhaps a sign, she said, would help her decide on her next steps.</p><p>“I just want to see how this year goes, and then I want to see how next year is. I always wait for the right timing, I always wait for those signs,” Wroblewitz said.</p><p>“I will see what’s going to happen. No promises, but I’m also not closing any doors.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen" frameBorder="0" height="100%" id="ivsplayer01" scrolling="no" src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/html/iframe-src.html?iframeid=ivsplayer01&amp;key=e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603&amp;spid=3001339&amp;vid=1799848" width="100%"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div><p>What’s definite, however, is Wroblewitz’s fresh mindset of seizing opportunities, which she admittedly would let pass because of her tendency to cling to her comfort zone.</p><p>Asked how pageantry changed her, Wroblewitz answered, “It really boosted my confidence.”</p><p>“I thought it was scary being vulnerable on stage, answering those questions, thinking on the spot. I didn’t know that there was so much training. It definitely brought out a more confident Maureen. And now, I have no excuses,” she said.</p><p>Wroblewitz recalled that, before Miss Universe Philippines, she would decline offers that would entail her to speak in public.</p><p>“I was very picky with those things, because I’m too comfortable. I don’t want to get out of my comfort zone again. But now that I have done this, I have no excuses.</p><p>“I really have stay as the person that I am, being an extrovert, getting used to that. Because the moment that I go back to that, to the introvert Maureen, it’s going to be so hard to adjust again,” she said.</p><p>With an ever-growing following on social media — and as a pageant queen who now has a significantly wider reach in pageant-crazed Philippines — Wroblewitz intends to maximize the privilege of being listened to.</p><p>“This has really been a realization moment for me. I have realized that my gift is my voice, and I really have to use that voice to make a difference,” she said.</p><div><strong>Related videos:</strong></div><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ihFPXAqPYrg?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Raacg52ycZE?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hCaCxKUX6rs?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div>
