Early life and education

Kylie Fausto Verzosa was born in Baguio, Philippines, to Filipino parents Ari and Racquel Verzosa. She graduated high school from Saint Louis University, and obtained her Bachelor's degree in Business Management from the Ateneo de Manila University.[3][4] She worked as a pre-school teacher at one point.[5] She is an advocate of mental health, depression, and suicide awareness.[6] Verzosa volunteered for the Natasha Goulbourn Foundation, which aims to educate people about depression and suicide.[7] She later on created Mental Health Matters, an online support group which aims to give emotional support to people who are experiencing depression, anxiety disorder, and other forms of mental illnesses.[8] She was also a member of the Professional Models Association of the Philippines. She has done ramp and print modeling.[9]

Pageantry

Binibining Pilipinas

Verzosa first participated at the Binibining Pilipinas 2015, where she placed in the top 15. She joined Binibining Pilipinas once again and was crowned Binibining Pilipinas International 2016 on April 17, 2016 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, Quezon City, Philippines. With this, she represented the Philippines at the Miss International 2016 pageant in Tokyo, Japan.[9]

Miss International 2016

Verzosa represented the Philippines at Miss International 2016 in Japan where she was eventually crowned as Miss International 2016 by Edymar Martínez of Venezuela.[10] She is the 6th Miss International Winner from the Philippines.[11][12][13]

During the speech portion of the pageant, the girls were given a chance to express their plans if crowned Miss International and share their personal advocacies. Verzosa's speech read:[14]

"Three things come to mind when I think of Miss International: culture, education, and international understanding. These three work together to make the brand of the Miss International beauty pageant relevant to the global community and to our time. If I become Miss International 2016, I will devote myself to cultural understanding and international understanding because I believe that it is by developing in each of us sensitivity to other cultures that we expand our horizons, tolerate difference, and appreciate diversity. All this enables us to achieve international understanding. And I believe that I am prepared to take on this responsibility."

After the coronation, Verzosa and her court had some final things to do with the sponsors of the Miss International Organization such as Miss Paris' beauty school and Mikimoto pearl farm in Japan.[15][16] Also, Miss International 2016 visited Toba International Hotel and Unicef where she met the National Directors of UNICEF in Denmark and Japan.[17][18]
