Beatrice Gomez has picked youth empowerment as her main advocacy as she competes in the 70th Miss Universe pageant.
The Philippines' representative said this is her way of paying it forward, admitting she was lucky to have everything she needed growing up despite being in a broken family.
"I was lucky enough that my mom guided me properly and provided me with everything that I needed to become the person that I am now. But these children, they weren't able to have this," she said in an interview with the local fashion magazine Mega. She hopes that through her platform, she can also serve as a voice for children who are victims of armed conflict.
