During the question and answer portion of the pageant, Borromeo was asked: “The Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs by the United Nations have targets that are set to be achieved by 2030. What have you done so far in terms of SDG initiatives?”

Her answer was:

“As someone who experienced the wrath of natural disasters, home is everything. I’ve worked tirelessly with Habitat for Humanity and the SDG’s goal number 11 of sustainable cities and communities. It is through this volunteer work that I could see in the faces of the children how much they wanted to help, how much they wanted to be a part of the future. Because when it comes to sustainability, we must keep in mind that it is not only for the next generation, but to include them in the process.”

Here is the Philippines' Nicole Borromeo's answer during the Q&A round of #MissInternational2023.

And to keep a little bit of Japan and to show it to the whole world.”
