Maxine Medina of Philippines has prepared well for the Miss Universe 2016, to get the back to back victory, she and all the Filipinos have been dreaming of. If there is anything that can be counted as a drawback, besides her being the candidate of the host country, it is the fact that she is not as fluent in English as she is in her native language.
Recently, Miss Universe 1969 Gloria Diaz, the winner of the country’s first Miss Universe crown said in an interview that she would suggest Maxine to take a translator with her for the finale Q-A round when she meets her. The formal beauty queen explains, “She is a Filipina and I don’t think it will make her less of a beauty queen if she will decide to use our language on the grand coronation.”
On the other hand, Pia suggests that Maxine doesn’t need a translator. According to Pia, it is important to converse easily and present oneself in the most positive light during the round. According to Pia, it is a great upside if the contestant can speak in English as the Question and Answer round is not the end if she wins.
