On Sunday, October 7, candidates were given only 30 seconds to answer questions with topics that ranged from female empowerment to cryptocurrency.In the question and answer portion, Rodriguez was asked how she can change the opinion of people who see beauty pageants as a form of exploitation.

“One should live by example and not by opinion, and I would like to admit I was one of those before until I learned more about what beauty pageants are about. One thing I can tell you is that you may think this is very competitive, but in fact, you’ll understand beauty pageants when you know that it is actually not competitive towards the other women, it’s competitive towards yourself, and it’s all about women empowerment, and you can feel that in this group of girls, each girl knows that we are all individually beautiful,” she said.

There is a lot of work that goes into preparing for such an event for just one night One moment and It’s a chance for candidates to show everyone who they really are it’s also a test of nerves. After all, the clock is ticking and there’s only so much anyone can say within such a limited time. it just goes to show that hard work really pays off and even though that the girls did not win it takes a lot of hard to stand on stage and do what you do so congratulations to all of you.
