This after the 21-year-old beauty was crowned Miss World Philippines 2022 during a competition held at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City early morning, Monday, June 6. She bested 35 other candidates for the coveted crown.
This beauty and brains will represent the Philippines at the Miss World 2022 stage.
Gwen, as she is fondly called, aced the pageant question-and-answer portion with her honest and spontaneous answer. During the final round, she was asked: “How do we cope with an education deficit accumulated due to the pandemic?
She answered: “As an advocate of education, I do agree that during the pandemic, we have suffered the most, but the children who have lacked access to education have suffered the greatest. Working hand in hand with ERDA Foundation to empower the marginalized Filipinos, I believe by uniting benefactors and encouraging our children, and allowing them to go back to school, especially during this pandemic, will make this world a better place because education is the greatest weapon against poverty.”..
