MANILA – Philippine bet Kylie Verzosa was named 2016 Miss International in the coronation held at Tokyo Dome City Hall in Tokyo, Japan on Thursday.
Contestants from Australia, Indonesia, Nicaragua and United States finished first, second, third and fourth runners-up, respectively.
In her speech after the announcement of the top 15 finalists, Verzosa said that should she win the title, she wants to focus on cultural and international understanding.
"If I become Miss International 2016, I will devote myself to cultural understanding and international understanding because I believe that it is in developing in each of us sensitivity to other cultures that we expand our horizons, tolerate difference and appreciate diversity," she said.
Verzosa is the sixth Filipina to bring home the Miss International crown for the Philippines. The country so far has five Miss International titlists, with Bea Rose Santiago winning in 2013.
