And then there is one. Fitting that Juliana Parizcova Segovia, the first-ever contestant of "Miss Q&A" to defend her crown 10 consecutive times, and arguably the one responsible for the segment's ratings ascent, would be named its overall grand winner.

Her toothless grin and wit were again on wonderful display, but it was her heartfelt speech about her love for her mother that ultimately cemented her path towards the title. Their hug, perfectly captured in photograph, following her win will attest to the truth in her words.

Both her rivals, Matrica Mae Matmat Centino and Lars Pacheco, came close with their impassioned arguments about the importance of acceptance and self-worth, though it proved to be not enough, even if one were to take in the extra bit of context that the grand finals was held on the last day of the Pride Month in the Philippines.

Still, it would difficult to deny that Segovia did not deserve the title, a clever individual who has constantly displayed calm, wit, and knowledge about the difficulties members of the LGBT faced.

She could've vented about the ridicule she had received throughout her life, given the platform to do so, but instead chose to focus on love. It's quite literal to say that love did win this time around.
