Maureen took to Instagram after her win and gave a message to her supporters in which she dedicated her victory to the Philippines.
“There were times where I felt like giving up, but I knew that it couldn't be an option. I was the last Filipina standing and a Filipina has never won before. I wanted to win this for my country – the Philippines and I'm so happy to say that I did. This is all for you guys."
