BEA'S WINNING ANSWER:
Miss Philippines Bea Rose Santiago’s winning answer to the question on what she will do if she wins as Miss International 2013 :
The whole world saw how my country, the Philippines, suffered. The agony of my people was felt, but one by one, country to country came to help.
I would like to thank all the nations that helped my country. In our darkest hours, you have opened my eyes and my heart on how important it is - if we all just support each other.
If I become Miss International, I will uphold international camaraderie to sustain the spirit for sympathy and to continually share the message of hope.
I believe that whatever calamity may come to us, as long as we have each other, there will be hope. Thank you."
