She wowed the judges by answering the final question: If you could stop time for a day, how would you spend it?
“In which the beauty queen graciously answered: If I could stop time, I would spend it with my family, especially [my] mother. It’s been two years since I haven’t spent time with my family because they live in Italy, and I came here in the Philippines just by myself. If I had a chance to spend one day, I would definitely be with my mom, and I would just tell her how much I love her and I miss her.”

- Miss Universe Tourism: Michelle Marquez Dee of Makati
