Beatrice Luigi Gomez finished her Miss Universe journey in the top 5, December 12, which was held in Israel.
The 26-year-old Cebuana beauty queen was the fifth contender to be called for the Top 5, but she did not advance past the Top 3.
The only thing to be considered to make it to the top 3 is the question-and-answer portion, and she was asked by Miss Universe 2016 Iris Mittenaere, "Given the ever-changing COVID situation, what is your opinion of mandating a universal vaccine passport?"
Her answer was “I believe that public health is everyone’s responsibility, and to mandate vaccine inoculation is necessary. If mandating vaccine passports would help us in regulating the rollouts of the vaccine, and mitigate the situation of the pandemic today, then I would agree on mandating the necessary passport of vaccination. Thank you.”
Also, her national costume during the preliminary round, which was created by Filipino fashion designers Axel Que of Cebu City and Bulacan’s Manny Halasan, is the Bakunawa, which makes the Filipino proud. The Bakunawa is a mythological Filipino dragon that looks like a serpent. It's also known as the Moon Eater, and earthquakes, showers, eclipses, and strong winds are thought to be caused by it.
