Renzo Carl “Arci” Reyes, a third-year AB Communication student of the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Muntinlupa (PLMun) brought pride to the university by being the Top 9th Ms. Q & A Kween Of The Multibeks in the grand finale last October 22, 2022. She is the first Muntinlupeño to get the spot.

Arci defended her crown as the daily winner three times and secured a spot as one of the top ten grand finalists on October 21, 2022.

“Over expensive and material things, the best gift that we can give to ourselves and to other people is respect,” Arci said to Mr. JM De Guzman in his question, “Bilang isa akong actor, kailan katanggap-tanggap umarte o mag-inarte?” during the grand finale. Unfortunately, she was eliminated in round 1. However, she was hailed as the Top 9th Ms. Q & A Kween Of The Multibeks.

“Joining a pageant in a noontime show in ABS CBN is an eye opener for me...Everyone who is blind will now be able to see not just in our institution but also in the entire community that constantly discriminates against us. It’s time for them to accept everyone in the LGBTQIA+ community for who they are,” Ms. Arci explained how she used her participation in this pageant to fight for the LGBTQ+ community and her fellow students.

Arci also thinks that the pageant is ideal for her to speak out and encourage her fellow LGBTQ+ community members. She plans to gain more experience on a national television show while making her parents proud. She revealed her plan to compete in other big pageants in the future, including university pageants too.

Arci Reyes expressed her heartfelt appreciation to everyone who had shown her true love and support during her Ms. Q & A Kween Of The Multibeks journey.

“Just keep on dreaming and believe in yourself no matter what. Try and try. You can’t win at everything but you can always try,” she said to all aspiring queens. <w>
