She was the first runner-up candidate in the Binibining Pilipinas 2011 pageant, following her defeat she competed again in 2012 and ultimately won the crown and represent her country for the Miss Universe 2012. She finished first runner-up from last year's pageant and was head to head to Miss USA Olivia Culpo who eventually won the crown at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Her question from the pageant was taken in Twitter and read by judge Nigel Barker: "As an international ambassador, do you believe that speaking English should be a prerequisite to being Miss Universe? Why or why not?"

Her winning answer: "For me, I think being Miss Universe is not just about knowing how to speak a specific language - it is being able to influence and inspire others. So whatever language you have, as long your heart is to serve and you have a strong mind to show to people, then, you can be Miss Universe."
