Nigel Barker: "As an international ambassador, do you think that speaking English should be a prerequisite for Miss Universe? Why or why not?"

Miss Philippines: "For me Miss U is not about being to speak, it's about being able to influence and inspire other people. No matter what language you have as long as you have the heart you can inspire other people."
