Philippines’ Zara Carbonell won the very first edition of the Miss Tourism Worldwide, which was held in Indonesia on Sunday.

According to a post from Miss Tourism Worldwide’s Facebook page, ranking after Carbonell were Miss Thailand (1st Runner Up), Miss South Africa (2nd Runner Up), Miss France (3rd Runner Up), and Miss Siberia (4th Runner Up).

In a video posted by Carbonell’s father, actor Cris Villanueva, the newly-crowned beauty queen aced the question and answer portion.

She was asked the question, “What is the accomplishment you’re most proud of?”

“I’m very much proud to say that I’m a co-founder of a social enterprise that we have launched last December back in the Philippines, it’s a social enterprise that forwards self-awareness to the youth,” Carbonell answered.

“In fact I have given about a hundred workshops and talks to public schools, all over the country, which I’m very much excited to, hopefully, be able to share also to different nations, and it is in the power of the youth that I am inspired to be a better person and to do more for the world, thank you,” she added.   /vvp
