The 1st Runner-Up is USA's Shree Saini, while the 2nd Runner-Up is Cote d'Ivoire's Olivia Yace.

Karolina is a model who's currently studying for a master’s degree in management. She also aspires to become a motivational speaker.

During the Q&A portion of the evening, she was asked the "most important discovery yet to be discovered."

"The most important discovery I believe that this is no one but everyday we learn something new. We all have unique experiences and all of us can learn something about ourselves and to be authentic of personal," she answered.

"What I discovered is that it caused us so little to nourish the life of others... and believe me it’s worth its prize. So if you want to discover something new just try to learn to be rich more in empathy, in compassion, in gratitude because we can all do it, we can all be great because we can all serve," she added.

Philippine bet Tracy Maureen Perez finished in the Top 13 of the competition. —Jannielyn Ann Bigtas/JCB, GMA News
