Viivi was very happy after she was announced as this year’s winner. She really wanted to be the country’s representative to the Miss Universe pageant since she was eight years old. She was very thankful that her mother and father are very supportive to her that they have guided her to reach her dream. In an interview made by MTV, Viivi said that said that she would like to restore the prestige previously felt for the title.
