Beauty pageants are becoming more and more complex as creative directors lead changes to cope with grand shows of other beauty pageant organizations. The usual pageant questions and answers may still be the best practice, but more are deviating from it to discover new ways of conducting the Q&A segment and conform to the latest trends making more the show entertaining.
Hashtags as Pageant Questions
Mental Health
Mental Health. Mental Health is about how we think, feel, and act composed most of our lives and is equally important from having a healthy body. Statistics show that many people are suffering from depression, bipolar disorder, and suicidal thinking due to demands of work, family, and social expectations. With the kind of environment we have now, everyone must be taught how to handle things and happily live while meeting the demands of life because they are not only physically strong but also mentally healthy.
Depression
Many people are suffering from depression, causing suicidal thinking due to demands of work, family, and social expectations. With the kind of environment we have now, everyone must be taught how to handle things and live happily while meeting the demands of life because they are not only physically strong but also mentally healthy. Depression can be best combated through an Advocacy called Mental Health Education. We must also be sensitive around us because any of who we meet every day is suffering from depression. It could be our friend, classmate, coworker, or even one of our family members.
Gender Equality
Gender equality. Gender equality is now being addressed through gender sensitivity seminars. We must learn to respect our differences and learn that there is no point in comparing men, women, and the members of the LGBT community – because, in the first place, we are not made to compete, but to complete each other’s weaknesses.
Failure
For me, failure in any part of one’s life is inevitable. Even the most successful person for sure has failed many times more than he succeeded. I believe that amid failures, one still becomes successful because she has proven something to herself and became more mature with the lessons she learned from failing. Failing is just one little part of succeeding.
Losing
Coping up after losing is a process. Losing in any part of one’s life is inevitable. Even the most successful person in the world was once defeated. I will accept whatever God gives me, open heartedly and open mindedly. In the midst of losing, one still becomes successful because she has proven something to herself and became more mature with the additional life’s lessons. Losing truly becomes defeat if you don’t see the ray of opportunity it brings to you as a person.
Success
Success is not actually measured by greatness, honor, or power. Success is when you are able to hold on to what is right, inspire people to continue living with upright morals, never stop achieving your dreams no matter how hard it is. Success is when you see the future and live with it today. Lastly, success is when you do every little thing with God and for God.
Beauty
Beauty is anything towards the likeliness of God. God is the source of all things beautiful. The world would never be a World without Beauty; without God. Beauty has decorated the world with what God has created. It inspires everyone. It teaches us to do more, to be better, until such time we may say life is beautiful.
Beauty Pageants
Beauty contests give women of different cultures and ethnicities all over the world the opportunity to showcase not just their beauty, personality, and potentials but also their intelligence in a local, national, and international setting. They serve as training grounds for women to gain courage and introduce their different advocacies, especially those who plan to take on key roles in our society by becoming aware and engaging in social issues and problems. It also helps them learn to effectively express themselves, educate/influence people and become the voices of hope.
Natural Calamities
Natural calamities cause havoc and permanent damage into the properties and even to the lives of the people. Natural disasters that are now being recorded goes even stronger because of the climate change cause by us humans. If we only take good care of our environment, it will take good care of us too. We must stop our abuses because this is the only place we could live in, and we cannot afford to lose it for us and for the generations to come!
Poverty
The photo shows the harsh reality between the rich and the poor. Poverty has always been…(continue)
The picture shows poverty and children as victims. Poverty has always been a problem. We must invest in teaching people to do business and entrepreneurship because this is the only solution to make our progress grow faster than poverty.
War
War is caused by misunderstanding and pride. The belief that one is truly right and the others are wrong. I believe that there is no singularity when it comes to who is right. I can be right, but you can also be right, and others may also be right all at the same time. Let us respect and accept our differences because there are no winners nor gains in war – only losses.
Corruption/Bribery
Taking what is supposed to be for the people contributed by the people thru taxes is a serious crime. Better roads, employment opportunities, the building of hospitals for the people get affected just because of corruption. Corruption mustacausedin all levels be stopped, or nothing will happen to us people.
Laziness
Laziness is a negative trait we must not turn into habit. It will bring us to nowhere. And it will lead our way far from progress and success. If we want to have a good and comfortable life, we must turn our backs away from laziness and turn to hard work and teamwork.
Yolanda
I think everybody knows what had happened there in Masbate, and no one would ever dare go back to that nightmare. Yolanda is no longer the strongest typhoon for us Filipinos. Yolanda is already the biggest lesson we had as regards to the importance of calamity preparedness, obedience to authorities, and most importantly bayanihan spirit of the Filipino people.
Leader
The kind of leader we need today has these qualities – someone who fears God and can give direction to our country. Someone who has conviction, an iron fist, and bold enough to straighten everything from the past and implement the projects for the people and for the progress and success of the nation. Who can make the country a safer place; and unite Filipinos and trust again the national government. The leader who can changed everything and changed it for the better.
Leadership
Leadership is when you think of what’s best for others without asking anything in return. Authentic leadership requires perseverance, passion, and dedication towards a specific goal. Know the parameter between a leader and boss, because once you use your power for your benefit, you stop being the leader.
Government
The government is created by the people and must be for the people. It is a robust system that holds everyone feels protected and accepted as a member of the community, where one feels belongingness and camaraderie. A government protects, cares, and improves its people through different programs that would promote peace and progress to keep the community away from poverty or any danger ahead.
Election
Election. This is the time we select the leaders we would give political and administrative power to govern. We must look for leaders who fear God. He will only do things that would be good for the people. WE must not vote for a leader who cheats in small things and later on in bigger things. Let us vote for leaders who gained our trust through hard work, tangible projects, and a heartfelt love expressed to the people. A leader who fears God and values people.
Health/Sickness
We must not forget our health in the middle of a busy, toxic, and unhealthy lifestyle nowadays. No matter who we are or what we do, our health is important. Let us give ourselves time to exercise and to be conscious of our body because this is our greatest gift from God, we must take care of it so we can live long.
Love
Love is an act of doing anything and everything good for someone-free from mental reservation-regardless and unmindful of whether or not the other person can reciprocate it.
Peace
“Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved through understanding.” This idea of Einstein contemplates for nations and world organizations to help prevent war and bridge the gap between rival nations through peaceful communication to attain real and lasting world peace. Let us show understanding to one another by accepting our differences and be contented with what we have.
World Peace
“World peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved through understanding”. This idea of Einstein contemplates for nations and world organizations to help prevent war and bridge the gap between rival nations through peaceful communication which is a bloodless means to attain true and lasting world peace.
Fake News
Fakes news are very rampant in social media because social media are platforms where anyone can share what he or she wants. It is up to us to be careful to believe on what we read and be responsible on what we share on the internet because this wrong information that we may share may also hurt other people or even the ones we love.
It has taught us to be responsive to different issues and problems but not all information on Facebook or other social media is true or real
Progress
Progress is something we always look forward too as a person, as a community, and as a nation. We often associate progress with success and comfort. But most importantly, we progress for a particular reason and for a noble cause. We must progress faster than how poverty moves swiftly. Progress is only possible if we stand together; if we act as one; and if we act now.
Patriotism
Patriotism is about bringing the positive values and traits of your citizenship to any place you go. It is not bounded by time or place, whether you are in the Philippines or in other foreign countries. Patriotism is all about giving honor and giving back to the place or country that shaped you into what you are now.
Honesty
Honesty is probably the most important value of all. It holds other values together. Respect needs honesty. Being responsible needs honesty. Even love requires honesty. If we want to be in a peaceful, happy, and worthy life, honesty would be the number one value we need to have.
Forgiveness
Forgiveness cleanses the heart. We must practice, forgive, and forget. If you do not know how to forgive, then you also deserve NOT to be forgiven. The more you close your heart to others, the more your heart suffers. Let us stop the negativity and bring positivity in our lives and in this world.
Religion
Religion is an organization which aims to bring people together and worship the one where their faith is anchored. Despite the differences among Religions, they have one common language – and that is love. If you do not have love but have religion, then you have missed the point. Love is the real universal language of all religions. It is that one thing that you can never go wrong even if you have a different and unpopular religion. Love is the greatest commandment of all.
Sisterhood
Sisterhood among ladies is important for our welfare. Who else to advance our rights or protect us from the ever-evolving and changing society but our sisters not by blood but by common goal, aspiration, and feeling. Sisterhood will give us the courage not to be afraid to fail because sisterhood will be there to catch us and provide us with scaffolding as we aspire and reach our dreams again
Boyfriend
It is good to have a boyfriend when one or both can live on their own, and that is when they are financially, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually ready, mature, and can carry the relationship to a long-term commitment called marriage. I think that is the best time to have a boyfriend, inspiration, and lasting relationship.
Money
Money is created to facilitate business and transactions and is neither bad nor good. It gives us the power to purchase things or services that we need or even others need if we just have the heart to use our extra money for others. Money can be powerful but let us remember that it is the hand who holds it that gives the real meaning and value of money. Money does not make the world moves as they say, but it is STILL US who give money the power to make the world move and not money itself.
Novel Corona Virus
The country must be ever-ready to such viral contagious diseases now and in the future. I believe it is about time to have specialized and isolated hospitals not to ostracized outcast those who are infected but for the general welfare of the people. Let us be vigilant and be more sanitary with whatever we do especially with what we buy, eat, or serve as food. Because this unhealthy or infected food is undoubtedly dangerous and may even cost the lives of people we love.
Phrases
Social Responsibility
Social Responsibility is a big task. It is something that must be done voluntarily and willingly. To be a responsible citizen, especially being a beauty candidate or a beauty queen, one must be honorable, moral, and inspiration, especially for the young ones. You give more than you receive when we talk about social responsibility. You care more than you are taken care of. It is more of them, not you. It is Them first, not I. That is Social Responsibility.
Same-Sex Marriage
Marriage is an expression of love between two couples. However, it is a sacred ceremony for Catholic and Christian churches as a threefold bond between The Man, The Woman, and God. However, Love is a universal thing. We, therefore, marry the opposite sex, but nobody told us that it wrong to love one another.
Woman Empowerment
It would be empowering woman; (There is no greater way to empower woman by giving…) i.e. giving every woman the chance to education, and knowledge of entrepreneurship. Education will give her degree and career and the other one will give her a way to expand her affiliations in the society and may even give her a chance to be a leader in the larger community. Through these, she becomes an epitome of an empowered woman, a social influencer, and a source of inspiration.
Beauty Queens/Catriona/Pia
Beauty Queens are one of the most beautiful people on earth. Not because they are pretty, but because they inspire people. They give hope and freshens and brightens one’s day. They also have humanitarian projects and impacts the lives of people to change for a better.
Sex Realignment
I am not in favor of sex realignment. The primary purpose of our procreative power is for the marital obligation of man and woman to produce offspring for the continuous existence of man. The physical and emotional differences, not only the sex organ, determines the sex. A person who has undergone sex realignment would not be able to perform the extended responsibilities of a father or a mother to a child. Sex realignment will cause the disruption of humanity’s continued existence and will result in confusion. I am not in favor of it.
Tree planting
I think we should be more than willing to join any green revolution or green peace movement like tree planting to inspire the public on caring for and saving the environment, which is essential to our existence and life. Without our bountiful natural resources and a good place to live in, the next generation the world will have, would not be able to experience and see what is supposed to be theirs as well. Natural resources are not unlimited. We must learn how to conserve, preserve and reserve before it’s too late.
War On Drugs
The war on drugs is a very significant and rational move done by the government. Drugs destroy the people, especially the youth and the young, who are supposed to be the next nation builders. If we allow the youth to be destroyed, the nation is destroyed. If we destroy drugs, we build our nation. Let us altogether support the government’s campaign against drugs.
We must destroy drugs before it destroys us people. But for those who has been affected or destroyed by drugs, we people must not destroy them or we are no different than drugs itself. As they say, Kill the drug. Save the Person.
Feeding programs
Feeding programs help these children and adults to get the proper nutrition they need to be healthy and live a normal life away from sickness. More than that, feeding programs exemplify our being God-fearing Christians. We were told by the Holy Bible to look, care, and love each other. This act reminds us that there are more and more people who need help because they are less fortunate. Let us not forget that love is the greatest lesson and gift that the Lord wants us to realize.
Vote-buying
A fraudulent person can always be a fraudulent person the next time. I would not entrust, or we should not entrust the community to a leader who cheat in small things because later on, he or she might cheat on us in bigger things. Let us vote for leaders who gained our trust through hard work, tangible projects, and a heartfelt love expressed to the people during difficult times like typhoons and floodings. A leader who fears God and value people.
Industrialization
Industrialization is something we always look forward too as a nation because we associate it with success and comfort. But behind industrialization is the mass exploitation of world resources and even pollution into the atmosphere causing temperatures to rise and burn our forests like the Amazon, polar ice caps melt in the Antarctica causing the rise of sea levels and floods, and massive and stronger storms that destroyed cities. Industrialization is not bad, if we do not compromise the environment because this is the only world we live in.
Goal Oriented
Being Goal Oriented is essential to be successful in anything we do. Without a goal, there is nothing to achieve, there is nowhere to go to, and there is none to hope for. There are a lot of distractions today that we lose our focus on the things that are close to our heart. If you really want to be happy, let us achieve our dreams by being goal oriented.
Image-Related Words
Social Media/Facebook
Social media are platforms where anyone can share what he or she wants. It has taught us to be responsive to different issues and problems. However, let us be careful in believing what we have read and be responsible for what we share on the internet because this wrong information that we may also share may also hurt other people or even the ones we love.
Excessive use of cellphone thru texting, chatting or playing games.

Education. Education gives meaning to our lives. It does not only provide us with knowledge; it helps us find ourselves and what we can do to help other people.

It makes us a better person, and because of that, we can create and build a better world.
Bullying
We must teach our children or students the value of respect because the cause of bullying is the absence of respect. Respect towards another person, and respect to our differences.

Technology
Technology brings so much comfort to our daily living. It makes our work easier and faster. But let not this blind us and become too dependent and lazy because of it. Let us be wary because sometimes, technology also brings family away from each other rather than bringing them together. Let us use technology wisely.
Environment
(Environment. The place we live in. We have to protect…The greatest problem is global warming that causes climate change ….)
Global Warming. Global warming is caused by the lessening of ozone molecules leading to ozone depletion and climate change. We have to protect our mother earth by being a volunteer for environmental agencies and convince industries to produce and use better products that do not conflict with our ecological interests.

Typhoon

We must stop our abuses because this is the only place we could live in, and we cannot afford to lose it for us and for the generations to come!
Landslide
This photo shows how we have abused our environment. Landslide like this is caused by us, people. Landslide is nature’s response to illegal logging and mining. We must start taking care of our environment so that the environment would also take good care of us against natural calamities.
Street Children/Poverty
It shows the other face of our country’s so-called “development.” Yes, we progress, but at what price? See the people, especially these pitiful children roaming around alleys and in the corners of the streets just to survive another day. Yes, sometimes, it is better NOT to look at things in the eye. We must altogether do something about it. For they are still part of our nation.
Traffic
The picture shows our problem regarding traffic. Traffic has a huge impact to our progress and success.

Agriculture
Agriculture is one of the fields that is not given much emphasis by the people, but it is one of the most important ones. Without the science of agriculture and with the onset of overpopulation, famine is not far. Soon, our problems will not be about our capacity to buy but what is available for us to buy.
