Recently, they joined an engaging Q&A session with entertainment press at Ibis Styles Manila in Araneta City. The lively discussions spanned various themes, including advocacy, activism, dating, politics, history, and the challenges of relationships.

Priceless Crown vs. Love: Francesca’s Firm Stand
Among the thought-provoking questions, Francesca Beatriz Alvalajon, 22, from Aklan, faced a challenging hypothetical: “Supposing one week after you won the pageant title, your millionaire boyfriend of five years asked you to give up your crown and marry him. What will you do?”
Francesca responded with heartfelt conviction: “The Binibining Pilipinas crown is priceless, and no P5 million could ever buy that. With the crown, I can fulfill my purpose and achieve my dreams. Love is everywhere. It comes from these girls (Binibini candidates), my family, and friends. With that, I could live every day.”
Her answer reflects a deep appreciation for the crown’s significance, emphasizing that love and support come from many sources, not just romantic relationships.
Choosing Wealth to Help Others: Jenesse’s Compassionate Choice
Meanwhile, Jenesse Viktoria Mejia, 24, from Pangasinan, was asked to pick among being super attractive, intelligent, or wealthy. She chose wealth, explaining her reasoning with empathy: “I would choose to be wealthy because there are so many people that I want to help. I’ve seen the faces of poor children, and I grew up with them. I’ve been involved in the youth ministry for a long time. I can see sadness in their eyes, especially when they go hungry. They say money can cause power. However, the truth is that it helps more people. The only way for me to give more is to have more wealth, so that I can pay it forward and help others.”
Her response highlights a strong sense of social responsibility and a desire to uplift others through financial means.
