Herlene Nicole Budol answers in Tagalog during Binibining Pilipinas 2022 Q&A

Herlene Nicole Budol answered in Tagalog during the Binibining Pilipinas 2022 Q&A portion.

Her question was asked by Cecilio Asuncion, founder and model director of Slay Model Management in Los Angeles, California, who also translated the English question to Tagalog.

The question was: "A beauty pageant is a space for transformation. What has been your biggest character transformation since you joined and how can this make you deserving of a crown tonight?"

Nicole's answer went, "Para sa 'kin, isang karangalan na naka-tungtong ako dio sa Binibining Pilipinas bilang isang binibining hindi inaasahan. Para sa 'kin, ang sarap palang mangarap. Walang imposible."

"Isa po akong komedyante na laki sa hirap at ang aking transpormasyon ay ang magbigay ng inspirasyon because I know for myself that I am uniquely beautiful with a mission," she added.

Nicole was the only one who answered in Tagalog among the Top 12 finalists.

Prior to the pageant, the actress and comedian already said that she will answer in Tagalog during her whole Binibining Pilipinas 2022 stint.

She bagged a total of seven special awards and finished the pageant as the 1st runner-up.
