Questions and answered during Miss Universe Vietnam on May 31, 2008. How the contestants answered:
1. What did you do on Mother’s Day?
Nguyen Thuy Lam: On Mother’s Day, I gave my mom a bouquet of flowers.
My present that day was little compared to the great love I have for my mother.
As a daughter, I always think I should show my love as well as take care of her everyday of my life.
Tonight as I stand on the stage of the Miss Universe Vietnam’s grand finale, this is also a meaningful gift I would love to give to my mother.
She has always wished me success in my life and career.
2. The pageant gave you a chance to visit the Nha Trang SOS Children’s Village for orphans and abandoned children. How did you feel after the visit?
Thien Ly: I was happy to see that the disadvantaged children at the SOS village are taken care of very well and are able to attend school.
However, I was also deeply moved witnessing them live without the love of their parents.
In the future I want to help poor children so that they can live a better life.
3. What is best about your personality?
Hoang Yen: I am always willing to receive advice and comments from others, especially from the audience, to help me improve myself.
I think I am an honest and helpful citizen, who is dutiful and always takes care of my parents.
4. Do you think taking meals with one’s family is important in everyday life?
Bui Thi Phuong Thanh: I think family meals are very important.
Meals are the times in the day when all members of my family gather to talk about the day.
Thanks to the family meal, I know how hard my father tries to support the family and how my mother prepares meals to take care of her beloved family.
It helps us understand each other much better while sharing both our happiness and sadness.
5. Besides your mother, whom do you respect most?
Duong Thuy Linh: My parents are the greatest examples in my life since they are determined to live positively.
Therefore, besides my mom, my dad is the one I respect most.
He is the most powerful, whole-hearted and intelligent man that I have ever met.
He teaches me how to strive for success.
Thanks to his advice and love, I have become a self-motivated person.
