MISS WORLD 2017 – The Philippines’ bet for the prestigious Miss World 2017 Laura Lehmann advances to the Top 40 of the competition.
According to a report from The Philippine Star, the bet of the country enters and advances to the Top 40 of the much-anticipated Miss World 2017.
This year, the competition will be held at the Sanya City Arena in Sanya, China on November 18.
She had advanced to the Top 40 of the contest after she was hailed as to be on the Top 5 in the contest’s Beauty With a Purpose segment.
Beauty With a Purpose challenge is accordingly where the contestants share their respective advocacies as it was established in 2001.
And Lehmann’s advocacy is a five-year plan in helping indigent moms of the Jose R. Reyes Memorial Medical Center in Manila to produce more breast milk in addressing the malnutrition and underweight among their babies.
In her Beauty With a Purpose video, she stated, “I think that when you look at the babies, and you realize how small they are, you realize how innocent they are…You don’t choose where you were born, but you can choose what you do with your life. And you can choose to help.”
Right after, she bested out other contestants in the pageants’ new segment called “Head-to-Head”.
It is where the 118 contestants were divided into small groups and asked questions like that of during the coronation nights where they were allowed to answer the question in 30 seconds or less.
As per the source, she was asked about her point of view in cyberbullying where she answered that it is something that people could not avoid or even control what other people think or say.
Furthermore, “But I think the best thing that we can do is use our platform and use our voices because the whole world is watching us. So whenever we see someone being bullied online, I think we can’t be passive bystanders. We have to so something about it, we have to point it out, and we have to remind them that trolls and bashers are not allowed on our Facebook pages and it’s our job to just post things that are positive, rather than negative or something that condemns people.”
Will she bag the crown for the country for the second after the victory of Megan Young?
