Miss Philippines Laura Lehmann has advanced to the Top 40 of the
Miss World 2017 pageant ahead of the main contest Saturday in Sanya, China.
Lehmann represented the Philippines and is among the 20 candidates
who won in the Head-to-Head Challenge, a new segment of the pageant where a
group of candidates answered a common question.
The Philippines' bet, who was grouped with candidates from Turkey,
Thailand, Lesotho, Myanmar, and Serbia, answered a question on what could be done to address
cyberbullying.
Lehmann answered the question. "I think it's a question that
we understand, but we also know that it's something that's very hard to avoid
because sometimes, we can't really control what other people really say or what
other people think. But I think the best thing we can do is use our platform
and use our voices because the whole world is watching us. So whenever we see
someone being bullied online, I think that we can't be passive bystanders. We
have to do something about it, we have to point it out, and we have to remind
them that trolls and bashers aren't allowed on our Facebook pages and it's our
job to just post things that are positive rather than negative or something
that condemns other people."
The Head-to-Head Challenge is one of five fast track events of the
pageant. Winners automatically qualify for the Miss World Top 40 round.
Also, Lehmann is also among five finalists of the Beauty with a
Purpose segment along with contestants from South Africa, Vietnam, India and
Indonesia.
Miss Philippines is a step
closer to the crown. Goodluck!
