Video Question from Miss World 2012 Wenxia Yu (China):  
Why do you want to be Miss World Philippines? 

#5 Zahra Bianca Saldua: When I was 10 years old, I told my parents that I wanted to become part of the United Nations. Why? Because I want to be an ambassadress of goodwill. Even before this competition I have done many charities and I intend to continue them even after, whether I win or loss. So being part of Miss World Philippines and winning as Miss World Philippines will allow me to help even more children and hopefully you'll give me that privilege and that honor and that responsibility and I am willing to accept it wholeheartedly. Thank you very much and have a good evening. 

#10 Janicel Lubina: I would like to be Miss World Philippines because I will be an effective Miss World Philippines. Because I would like to unite physical beauty. In that beauty has a charitable heart. I'd like to be a credible pilgrim bringing the message of hope, perseverance and determination to the world. Knowing that people can relate with my humble beginnings, that poverty is not a hindrance to reach one dreams, encouraging everyone that beauty is just the physical, but also the kind that give oneself to others. That's the essence of Miss World. Beauty with a purpose, beauty and giving. Thank you. 

#18 Omarie Linn Osuna: Well, I wanna be Miss World Philippines because I think that I am ready and I have what it takes, a beautiful face, a beautiful body, and a strong heart that is willing to give and serve others. And I am also believe that I am ready to represent our country in, in Indonesia and finally take home the crown of Miss World Philippines, of Miss World 2013. That is all, thank you. 

#19 Maria Paula Bianca Paz: Well, I have been through many things in the last few years, I have been faced lot of different challenges and through all this I've realized how blessed I truly am and I just realize, I decided that it's about time that I give back and I just couldn't think of a better place of an organization to do it with, Miss World Philippines. Thank you. 

#20 Megan Lynne Young: A Miss World Philippines, selfless. And to be selfless you need a heart. If I become a Miss World Philippines, I will pull my heart and my soul into helping others, which is what Miss World is, beauty and giving. Thank you.
