Sa final Q&A para sa Top 5 finalists, iisa lang ang naging katanungan: “If you have to issue a law to punish criminals of war and violence, how would you punish these people and why?”

Sagot ni Elizabeth, “They say a nation is judged not by the criminals and the crimes that they commit, but how the nation punishes them.

“If I were to create a law, it would be in line with jailment (sic) is to implement rehabilita­tion and mental rehabilita­tion.

“Because character is such a complex phenomenon, but we cannot judge someone’s character based on the crimes that they commit.”
