Binibining Pilipinas 2018 candidate Sandra Lemonon has made up her mind to try for the crown again come 2019.

Lemonon was considered a strong contender for the crown, but failed to place in the pageant held at the Araneta Coliseum on Sunday, March 18.

“Lemonades, I am coming back,” Lemonon posted on her Twitter page yesterday, March 19.

Lemonon gained attention due to her response at the Q&A portion. She was asked by judge Edgar Saavedra of her opinion regarding the ongoing “Build, Build, Build” infrastructure program of the government.

The top 15 finalist surprised the audience when she said, “Actually you know what, I studied so much for this Q&A, but sadly that’s something that I don’t know really much about. But at least I’m here trying to answer a good question. Thank you.”

Host Pia Wurtzback quipped, “Well, I love her honesty. It’s better than lying.”

In the end, Montero encouraged those who did not make it to not give up and keep joining, again and again.

It’s encouragement that stretches out to Lemonon, who might already know about “Build, Build, Build” by 2019. Alfred Bayle/JB
