Hindi tipikal na long gown ang suot ni Miss Universe Philippines 2021 Beatrice Luigi Gomez kaniyang final walk sa coronation night ng Miss Universe Philippines 2022 na ginanap nitong Abril 30 ng gabi sa SM Mall of Asia Arena, kung saan, si Celeste Cortesi ng Pasay City ang kinoronahan.
Sa halip na long gown, elegante ang dating ni Bea sa kaniyang black suit sa tribute segment para sa kaniya, bago ang pagpapasa ng korona sa magwawaging bagong Miss Universe Philippines. Pink stiletto heels naman ang suot niyang footwear.
Naging emosyunal si Bea nang kapanayamin ng mga host at dating Miss Universe titleholders Pia Wurtzbach, Iris Mittenaere, at Demi-Leigh Tebow.
"I know I had a different answer way back at the rehearsals earlier, but right before the show started, I have only been trying to hold back my tears the whole time."

"I felt better after the swimsuit competition but then I saw the video, and I just couldn't help myself but cry, just right before going out and doing my walk again."
Natanong naman si MUPH 2021 kung anong balak niya pagkatapos ng kaniyang pagrereyna.
"I will still definitely continue my community work, but other than that, I will pursue my other dreams.
"I would like to continue and go back to school, get my master's and take up social psychology. And hopefully, after that, I will be able to build a career in hosting."
"Thanks to my family at Empire, Miss Universe Philippines, and Mercator, as well."
Natanong naman siya kung paano nabago ang buhay niya matapos ng Miss Universe PH.
"It changed me a whole lot. I used to be a scared little girl who's always scared to get out of my comfort zone."
"But then I… I was able to get out of my shell and face my fears and I'm so glad that I was able to do it because there's so much greater things behind that fear, and I'm so glad that I was able to get past that."
Mailalarawan naman daw niya sa mga salitang "fruitful, humbling and memorable" ang kaniyang naging karanasan.
"Being able to stand here on this stage together with all of you, I already feel like I've won the Miss Universe crown myself."
Sa dulo, pinasalamatan ni Bea ang lahat ng naging bahagi ng kaniyang journey.
"I'm so grateful to each and everyone of you who have been in my jouney, my Miss Universe Philippines Organization family, Aces & Queens, Bea Bees…"
"Everyone who supported me in this journey, all of the pageant fans, thank you so much for all of yourself and for believing in me. I wouldn't be able to do all of this without your help. Thank you so much."
Para naman sa susunod na Miss Universe Philippines:
"I am just so excited to welcome my co-worker in continuing the advocacy that Miss Universe Philippines is promoting and one of which is menstruation equity, which is also promoted by my very good friend, Harnaaz."
"And also, the rights of children. And definitely, I will be working with Miss Universe Philippines Organization still. I will still be with them for the next couple of months."
Si Bea ay proud na miyembro ng LGBTQIA+ community.
Ipinasa na nga niya ang titulo sa 24 anyos na si Celeste nang gabing iyon; present din si Miss Universe Philippines 2020 at Kapuso actress na si Rabiya Mateo, kasama ang kaniyang boyfriend na si Kapuso actor Jeric Gonzales.
Si Michelle Dee ng Makati City ang itinanghal na Miss Universe Philippines Tourism habang si Pauline Amelinckx naman ng Bohol ang Miss Universe Philippines Charity.
Si Annabelle Mcdonnell ng Misamis Oriental ang first runner-up at si Maria Katrina Llegado ng Taguig City ang second runner-up.
Ito ang kauna-unahang pagkakataon na binuksan sa live audience ang coronation night dahil sa mas maluwag na alert level kaugnay ng pandemya.
