The runners-up are 1st runner-up, Stacey Gabriel (Cainta); 2nd runner-up, Ma. Ahtisa Manalo (Quezon Province); 3rd runner-up, Tarah Valencia (Baguio); and 4th runner-up, Christi Lynn McGarry (Taguig).
Here is Manaloโs winning answer to the question: You are beautiful and confident. How have you used these qualities to empower others?
As a woman of color, I’ve always faced challenges in my life. I was told that beauty has matter actually. But for me, I have listened to always believe in my mother, to always believe in yourself, uphold the vows that you have in yourself. Because of these, I am already influencing a lot of women who are facing me right now as a transformational woman. I have here 52 other delegates with me who helped me to become the woman I am today.
