MANILA – Philippine bet Nicole Cordoves finished first runner-up in the 2016 Miss Grand International pageant held at the Westgate International Theater in Las Vegas.

Indonesia’s Ariska Putri Pertiwi was crowned as this year’s winner of the four-year old pageant.

Meanwhile, contestants from Thailand, Puerto Rico and the United States finished second, third and fourth runners-up, respectively.

During the question and answer portion, all the top 5 contestants were asked: “If you had to choose one of these two people to help you stop the war and violence, who will you choose between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton and why?”

The Filipina beauty chose Trump over Clinton saying “if we choose him to switch to our side, there won’t be war and violence anymore.”

“I will also make sure that he will read my speeches to stop the war and violence because imagine someone who would bring so much madness and so much emotion to these people, what if we use his voice to actually do good for the world? What if we use that for our advantage?” she added.

To end her answer, Cordoves said: “Let’s keep the peace and let Donald Trump switch to our side to stop the war and violence.”

The Philippines has yet to win its first crown from the Miss Grand International pageant.
