During the Q&A portion, Gazini was asked what she will do to get more women in the workplace. She answered:
“If I win the crown tonight, what I will do is to promote my advocacy. My advocacy is for us women to fight for our rights and for the elderly care and for us to be able to know that someone is loving us, and someone is pushing us to whatever ambitions that we have. We will be able to rise from our decisions to whatever dreams that we have, goals that we have and we will achieve it because of those values, those wisdoms that they gave us. Thank you.”
Congratulations to the winners! (GMA News)
