"There's something attractive about her being innocent but exotic at the same time. She exudes beauty with a little bit of twist," she said about Navarrete according to [Angelopedia] (http://www.angelopedia.com/news/Things-you-did-not-know-about-Miss-Philippines-International-2016-Kylie-Verzosa/2460).

God doesn't always put me on the path that I want to go. But He puts me onto the path where I guess He expects me to do well. I want people to know… that there are many other ways towards success. My path was different, very unconventional. And I'm proud of it," said Verzosa, member of the Professional Models Association of the Philippines, in an [interview] (http://peopleasia.ph/?p=6192) with People Asia.
Bonus fact: She just had the most beautiful answer during the Miss International pageant that won her the crown!
