Reported by Celso De Guzman Caparas Photos by MUPh Org. Cebu City's Beatrice Luigi Gomez was crowned as Miss Universe Philippines 2021 by outgoing queen Rabiya Mateo during the finals staged at Henann Resort Convention Center in Aloha Beach, Panglao, Bohol on Thursday evening, Sep. 30. 26-year old Gomez, a proud member of LGBTQ community, will travel to Eliat, Israel to compete in the 70th Miss Universe Pageant set this December. Her answer to the final question sealed her fate in winning the crown and title. Question : If, during your reign as Miss Universe Philippines, things happen in your life that make you sad and uninspired, how would you be able to continue inspiring others? Gomez :"It is very evident that all of us went through difficulties during this pandemic, but it is also proof that we are able to rise to the occasion, and if anything happened to me during my reign, I will not give up and inspire others by rising to the problems that I am encountering and by inspiring them that what you are going through, you will be able to overcome it." Gomez romped away with the Best in Evening Gown. She donned a red gown during the Prelims and a royal blue number on the finals, both designed by Dubai-based Filipino fashion designer Furne One Amato of Amato Couture. She also bagged the Best in Swimsuit and two corporate awards : Miss Luxxe Immunplus Game Changer and Miss Creamsilk. Prior to the finals, Gomez won the Introduction Challenge and one of the Top 15 in the Casting Challenge. Here's the full list of runners-up and special awardees : Remainder of TOP 10
