Among the seven finalists, Borromeo probably picked the hardest question. The goals were adopted by the UN and serve as a “universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity.” Pageant fans praised Borromeo for her concrete and specific answer, and commended her knowledge of the SDGs. But unknown to many, meticulous preparation and Borromeo’s own social awareness helped her craft her winning answer.
Even up to the eve of the finals on October 25, Borromeo and Navea-Huff were still talking about how the Philippine bet could best demonstrate her advocacy and connect it to the SDGs. “In my last conversation with her, she already had the idea of talking about disaster risk preparation and sustainable cities and communities. It was important for her to not just talk about lofty ideals, but to speak through personal experience,” Gonzales told Rappler.As beauty pageants continue to evolve to match societal demands and expectations, beauty queens must prove that they have much more than just physical beauty.
