What I mean is the quality of us having constant dialogue with each other. It’s not about the quantity or the time we need to prepare to talk to each other but it’s the constant dialogue. Because if we do that, we would eradicate disparities in opportunities we can get. And also, we cannot grow the division within people in terms of politics, of power, and in terms of property. So, I hope they would look in quality instead of quantity.” </p><p>Her thoughtful response sealed her victory, proving not only her grace but also her strong commitment to the pageant’s advocacy.</p><p>The night also celebrated other outstanding queens who will represent the Philippines in international pageants:</p><p>    •    1st Runner-Up – Miss Grand Bicolandia, Margarette Briton</p><p>    •    2nd Runner-Up – Miss Grand Rizal Province, Beatriz Angela Ocampo</p><p>    •    Face of Beauty International 2025 – Nikki Buenafe of Quezon City</p><p>    •    Miss Tourism World Philippines 2025 – Michelle Arceo of Taguig City</p><p>    •    Reina Hispanoamericana 2026 – Francesca Beatriz McLelland of Aklan </p><p>    •    Miss Asia Pacific International 2025 – Anita Rose of Zambales</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>RELATED VIDEOS</strong></div><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Nl6AKzk0sIE?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RXoKkusUMDY?&amp;pp=0gcJCa0JAYcqIYzvautoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tmnSKb7G5dg?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div>
