Miss World-Philippines 2018 Katarina Rodriguez gears up for the Miss World pageant scheduled on December 8, Saturday. The 68th edition of the globally renowned pageant is scheduled in the beach city of Sanya in Southern China’s island province of Hainan.
Katarina has been a favorite among pageant fans and critics alike.
Press and blog conference.
A press and blog conference was held on November 8, Thursday at the Annabel’s Restaurant in Quezon City. Katarina answered questions that the media raised. She also detailed her numerous advocacies which includes HIV/AIDS Awareness and helping the community of Marawi City.
Miss World Philippines National Director Arnold Vegafria remarked that Katarina has what it takes to be a winning queen.
“Katarina has the poise and regal bearing of a winning queen… But more than that, she’s a woman of substance and it shows the minute she starts talking about her passions, her advocacies and how this new chapter in her life can help shine the spotlight on more deserving causes and advocacies.”
Game plan.
Katarina plans on just being herself as a game plan she would use to win the competition.
“My game plan is to really just be myself as I have been for the last two competitions I have joined… And of course, you know, to showcase what a Filipina is to the world. 100+ candidates is so much, it’s a lot of girls. So, you have to really do what you can while staying true to yourself to stand out.”
Pageants = women empowerment.
Rodriguez also noted that the judges don’t have preferences. She, however, doesn’t plan on competing against other candidates as she believes it is not a practice of women empowerment.
“When you start comparing yourself to the other girls, you’re truly wasting your time. Because the judges don’t have a preference and your focus should be on what you’re doing with your actions and your next move. Instead of observing and analyzing everyone else. Because, again, staying true to yourself is the best answer. Pageants are all about women empowerment. You cannot practice that if you are competing the girls you’re with.”
