Here is the answered of Melanie Marques:

“I believe that Miss International holds a distinct advantage compared to other titles for promoting harmony and understanding among the peoples of the world. For one, its primary criterion emphasizes charm and beauty of spirit aside from physical beauty, which gives the titleholder the opportunity to reach a wider audience regardless of race or nationality. As Miss International, I shall take advantage of this opportunity and project not merely the beauty of the Philippines, but also its warmth, its culture and its commitment to world friendship.”
