At the finale of Miss Grand International 2016 held on 25th October 2016, Indonesian beauty Ariska Putri Peritwi garnered cheers and accolade for her victory. Amidst all the cheers and merry making, there was one contestant who was criticised by many for her answer during the Q&A segment.

Philippines’ bet Nicole Cordoves was booed by the audience for her answer. During the Q&A round, the Top 5 finalists were asked – “Who would you choose to help you "stop the war and violence": Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton?” To which Cordoves answered Donald Trump. Her answer was, “Okay, you have to promise me that you would not react after my first sentence. I would choose Donald Trump to stop the war and violence with me because if we choose him to switch to our side there won't be war and violence anymore.

So, I will also make sure that he will read my speeches to stop the war and violence because imagine someone who would bring so much madness and so much emotion from these people. what if we use his voice to actually do good for the world? What if we use that to our advantage? That's why let's keep the peace and let Donald Trump switch to our side to stop the war and violence."

However, we do not see a point of being criticised. First of all, everybody is entitled to their opinion. And secondly, Nicole’s answer was no where favouring the for Miss Universe owner, in fact it was like a satirical answer to a question put forward.

Despite being booed, Cordoves managed to snag the first runner-up title. The Pinoy beauty was even criticized for her communication skills and was even termed as over confident, before the MGI pageant. Crodoves proved them wrong by proving her mettle throughout the pageant and by winning the first runner-up position. What do you think? What is your take on Nicole Cordoves’ answer..??
