Gazini Ganados crowned Miss Universe-Philippines 2019

10 Jun – Cebuana beauty Gazini Ganados is set to represent the Philippines in the upcoming Miss Universe 2019 pageant.

As reported on Rappler, the 23-year-old was named the new Miss Universe-Philippines at the recently held Binibining Pilipinas 2019, crowned by the reigning Miss Universe herself Catriona Gray at the event.

Ganados, a tourism associate graduate from the University of San Jose Recoletos, gave a solid answer during the Q&A segment, when asked what she can do to get more women in the workplace.

"If I win the crown tonight, what I will do is to promote my advocacy. My advocacy is for us women to fight for our rights and for the LGBT community. And for us to be able to know that someone is loving us, and someone is pushing us to whatever ambitions that we have. We will be able to rise from our decisions, to whatever dreams that we have, goals that we have, and we will achieve it because of those values, those wisdoms that they gave us. Thank you."

Other winners of the night were Bea Patricia Magnatong (Bb. Pilipinas International), Resham Ramirez Saeed (Resham Ramirez Saeed), Emma Mary Tiglao (Bb. Pilipinas Intercontinental 2019), Samantha Lo (Bb. Pilipinas Grand International 2019), Leren Mae Bautista (Bb. Pilipinas Globe 2019).
