Metro Manila (CNN Philippines) — The Philippines' bet Nicole Cordoves lost the crown to Miss Indonesia at the 2016 Miss Grand International on Wednesday (PHT).
Cordoves, 24, was named first runner-up in the competition held at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino in Las Vegas which was streamed on Facebook Live.
In the question and answer round, the top five contenders were asked which of the two leading U.S. presidential candidates they will choose to help them stop war and violence.
Cordoves chose the U.S. Republican nominee Donald Trump.
She was booed by the audience.
"That's why let's keep the peace and let Donald Trump switch to our side to stop the war and violence," Cordoves replied.
