Maxine Medina, who bested among 15 contenders during the question and answer portion where judges would pick the candidate whom they want to ask question. Maxine was asked by ABS-CBN COO (Chief Operating Officer) Cory Vidanes.
The question was:
“Even if her parents want to send her to school, a 15-year-old girl wants to stop her studies, what would be your advice to her?”
Maxine Medina’s answer:
“I would tell the girl to study hard, no matter what their parents would tell them. Because having an education is something that… something that… cannot have that anybody else [sic]…Education can make you an even better person. Thank you.”

Ok I'm gonna give Maxine Medina a break. I remember Pia's answer in last year's Binibini wasn't a fan favorite as well but she still (1/3)

Maxine Medina is pretty but the answer was so out there. Good luck hope she gets good coaching. IMO Kylie was the best #BbPilipinas2016
