MANILA, Philippines - After the nerve-racking Question and Answer (Q&A) portion, Philippine bet Maxine Medina is out of Miss Universe competition as she did not join the pageant’s Top 3.
In the Q&A, Medina was asked: "What is the most significant change you've seen in the world in the last 10 years?"
"The last 10 years of being here in the world is that I saw all the people being in one event like this in and it's something big to us that we are one, as one nation, we are all together," Medina answered in the English language despite having an interpreter.
Miss Colombia, France and Haiti are moving to the Final Look of the 65th Miss Universe.
