The Filipina beauty contestant Elizabeth Clenci won as 2nd runner-up at the Miss Grand International pageant 2017, which was held in Vietnam.
The Miss Grand International pageant 2017 held in Vietnam was hosted by the Filipino celebrity Xian Lim and the 2016 Miss Grand International first runner-up Nicole Cordoves who received praises from the netizens for delivering the program successfully.
Elizabeth Clenci has joined the beauty pageant and proves the Filipino can really compete internationally after winning the second spot of the contest.
The Pinay contestant stunned the audience on her sophisticated metallic gold and pink long gown, which prompted the social media users to call her as #ClassyClenci in Twitter.
Clenci’s wit and beauty enabled her to be the only Asian to land in the top 5 and she was also included at the top 10 of Best in Swimsuit Attire and National Costume inspired by a Mindanao Tribal princess.
The Philippines’ bet shared her platform about peace and expressed her willingness to fight for peace through showing love, compassion, education, and understanding. She also said that it is her responsibility as a Philippines peace ambassador and it is also the responsibility of all.
The question and answer (Q&A) portion have intensified the statement of the Filipina, which enabled her to secure the second spot in the pageant.
The question goes with “If you have to issue a law to punish criminals of war and violence, how would you punish these people and why?”
Clenci answered “They say a nation is judged not by the criminals and the crimes that they commit, but how the nation punishes them. If I were to create a law, it will be in line with jailment (sic) is to implement rehabilitation and mental rehabilitation. Because character is such a complex phenomenon, but we cannot judge someone’s character based on the crimes that they commit. If we punish somebody just as equally as the crimes that they have committed, then what does that say about us? I would implement better rehabilitation. Thank you,” quoted by Philstar.
Elizabeth’s answer garnered the admiration of the netizens in the social media, which coincides with the recent chaos in Marawi City and Duterte’s war on drugs amid killings.
