Filipino-Australian model Hannah Arnold, 24, from Masbate, won Bb. Pilipinas International 2021. This is the second time that she competed in the same pageant, the first in 2019 where she made it to the top 15 semis.
She will represent the Philippines at the Miss International 2021 beauty pageant in Japan in November.
During the question-and-answer portion, Arnold was asked: “Given the reach and power of social media, do you believe that genuine freedom of speech exists in the Philippines nowadays? Why or why not?”
“First of all, freedom of speech is a basic human right that we all must remember. It is important for a democracy. With our upcoming election, we definitely need freedom of speech. For example, on Twitter, we are limited to a few characters, and what I have seen in this, Tweets is powerful. That has helped me think about whom I’d like to vote for in the upcoming elections,” she answered.
A graduate of Applied Science in Forensic Studies at the University of Canberra, Arnold is an advocate of quality education for kids. She loves crime podcasts and solving crime mysteries.
The 5’10” beauty queen also won the Jag Denim Queen special award during the finals.
