Beatrice Luigi Gomez of Cebu City took home four special awards and the coveted Miss Universe Philippines 2021 crown during the pageant finals held at the Hennan Resort Convention Center on Thursday, September 30 in Panglao, Bohol.
For the opening number, Beatrice wore a short pink dress, just like the other candidates. The ladies danced to BINI’s “Born to Win.”
She then changed into her Shein outfit – a black off-shoulder dress with ruffled sleeves – for the special awards segment. Beatrice was named Miss Luxxe Immunplus Game Changer and Miss Creamsilk.
Beatrice was the last candidate to be called for the Top 16.
Wearing a red one-piece by Albert Andrada and shoes by Jojo Bragais, Beatrice then brought out her best walk during the swimsuit segment. She was named Best in Swimsuit.
For the evening gown competition, Beatrice wore a blue crystal-studded creation by Furne One Amato. She took home the Best in Evening Gown award.
Beatrice then advanced to the top 10 and top 5.
During the question and answer portion, Beatrice was asked: “If, during your reign as Miss Universe Philippines, things happen in your life that make you sad and uninspired, how would you be able to continue inspiring others?”
Beatrice’s winning answer was: “It is very evident that all of us went through difficulties during this pandemic, but it is also proof that we are able to rise to the occasion, and if anything happened to me during my reign, I will not give up and inspire others by rising to the problems that I am encountering and by inspiring them that what you are going through, you will be able to overcome it.”
The 26-year-old was crowned by Rabiya Mateo.
Beatrice bested 27 other candidates who competed in-person during the pageant finals. This year’s edition started with 100 delegates. The list was whittled down to the top 30 after a series of challenges.
Prior to securing a spot in the Top 30, Beatrice was also named the winner in the introduction challenge.
As the Miss Universe Philippines 2021, Beatrice is set to compete in the international pageant, which will be held in Israel in December. – Rappler.com
