“I’m so much stronger than all of the unfortunate things that did happen to me,” the Cebuana said during the question and answer portion.

The pageant was supposed to be held in December 2021 but was postponed due to COVID- 19 health and safety protocols.

Miss World announced the Top 40 candidates, which was comprised of the 15 fast-track event winners and 25 others who were chosen by the judges last January. Only 40 candidates returned to Puerto Rico for the pageant’s grand finale.

So far, only one Filipina, Megan Young, won the Miss World title in 2013.
