"I love to travel that is why my advocacy has always been sustainable tourism and being a responsible traveller", added Cynthia. "As we are enjoying our beautiful planet, we must learn to protect it by even simply putting our trash in trash bins or even helping in picking up trash in the places we visit".
Miss World Organization Philippines CEO Arnold Vegafria and Managing Director Bessie Besaña are present to show support to Cynthia. "We want to ask everybody's help to support her in her international pageant. We know she was dragged into some controversy (Bea Santiago & Maggie Wilson vs. Carriona Fans) weeks ago, but we want to remind everyone that she has nothing to do with it. Let us just be happy and support our candidate because she is not representing herseld but the whole country", said Vegafria.
Also showing support for her is her Miss World Philippines sisters that includes Reina Hispanoamericana Teresita Sen Marquez and Miss Multinational 2018 Sophia Señoron. Miss World Philippines Organization has so far produced two title holders for the country since taking over the management last year.
