"As an ambassador, I don't think that speaking a specific language is very important here in Miss Intercontinental or any pageant at all. As long as that woman is a woman of power and grace, commitment, and intelligence," she said.
Mexico, England, Seychelles, Canada and Colombia are among the runners-up, in order.
Last July, Cindy won the Binibining Pilipinas Intercontinental crown during the Binibining Pilipinas coronation night held at the Araneta Coliseum.
