KINORONAHAN si Cinderella “Cindy” Obeñita ng Pilipinas bilang Miss Intercontinental 2021 sa Egypt ngayong araw.
Tinalo ng 25-year-old senior tourism officer mula Cagayan de Oro ang mahigit 70 candidates sa competition.
Siya ang ikalawang Miss Intercontinental titleholder matapos magwagi si Karen Gallman noong 2019.
Marami ang naniniwala na ang sagot niya sa question and answer ang isa sa nagpanalo sa kanya.
Q: As an international ambassador, do you believe that speaking English is important for Miss Intercontinental? Why or why not?
A: As an ambassador, I don’t think that speaking a specific language is very important here in Miss Intercontinental or any pageant at all. As long as that woman is a woman of power and grace, commitment, and intelligence. No matter what language she speaks, and that woman is actually a woman of style and substance, then she can win any pageant or any endeavor she is into. Also, it’s very important, I have learned actually here in Miss Intercontinental, that a woman should possess power of substance. And I believe I am that woman because that is the essence of modern-day Miss Intercontinental — that we are living in a world that’s very hard to survive. And as a Miss Intercontinental, I would like to be that source of hope, that source of inspiration on the true power of beauty and that is felt in the kindness of our hearts and definitely in the sincerity of our loving actions,” sagot ng pambato ng bansa.
