Obeñita now holds the country’s second Miss Intercontinental crown, after Karen Gallman in 2018.
During the Q&A portion, she was asked f speaking English is important for Miss Intercontinental.
“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.
