Top Five were: Philippines, Australia, Brazil, United States, and Venezuela.
During the Question and Answer portion, renowned photographer Nigel Barker asked Tugonon a question from Twitter: "As a global ambassador, do you think speaking English should be a prerequisite to being Miss Universe?"
Tugonon answered, "Language isn't the only important thing. As long as you can influence and inspire other people, as long as you have a strong mind, spirit, you can be Miss Universe."
Janine Tugonon
called Miss Universe "a battle of a lifetime," noting that Filipinos are
inherently fond of beauty pageants. "If I make it here, I feel that I
can give them hope, and it's an early Christmas gift to them," she said.
Congratulations Janine!
