When asked about the new slogan by the Inquirer, Perez stated that she loves it and believes that she embodies the contest’s mindset.

“I carry the Philippine sash with me, not just the hopes and dreams of Cebu City, but of every single Filipino, and every child who wants to be someone in the future. I’d like to be that constant reminder for them that if you keep moving despite whatever is happening today, no matter the struggles we experience in our lives, as long as we keep believing, as long as we keep working for our dreams, then we will make it,” she said.

Last year, Perez flew to Puerto Rico for the 70th Miss World pageant however, due to contestants testing positive for COVID-19, the competition was halted.

Paton sees herself as an empowered Filipina “because of all the previous women in the world who have conquered battles fought and grew over obstacles that were left behind because of past histories.”

To support the new slogan, Paton said she hopes to continue the legacy left by those before her and leave a lasting image to inspire future generations.

“Every time I’ve fallen I’ve gotten right back up. I gained more courage. I’ve learned more about the world and myself and I’ve been able to speak out on all things that I disagree on or that I am passionate about. And I think that’s what makes me empowered,” said Michelle Arceo.
