Binibining Pilipinas 2021
In 2021, Arnold entered and won the

First of all, freedom of speech is a basic human right that we all must remember. It is important for our democracy. With our upcoming election, we definitely need freedom of speech. For example, on Twitter, we are limited to a few characters, and what I have seen in these Tweets is powerful. That has helped me think about who I'd like to vote for in the upcoming elections. Thank you.[20][21]
