“Before I entered the competition, I already doubted myself. I never even thought I would make it into the competition at all. But look at me now! I’ve learned so many new things. I’ve learned about different cultures, languages. I’ve learned about modeling. But I’ve mostly learned a lot about myself. I am stronger than I thought I was and I really don’t give up! I was constantly called ‘a pretty face with no skills’. But little did they know, it would just make me come out stronger and better. It became a perfect motivation for me to prove them wrong and to show them that being inexperienced doesn’t mean you’re a weak model.” Maureen posted on Instagram following her win.

This year, the Philippines sent three delegates to the competition. It initially didn’t look good for the Filipina aspirants after two of them, Anjelica Santillan and Jennica Sanchez, were eliminated on the first and third weeks of the show.
