Excitement is starting to peak for the pageant fanatics in the country. Exactly a week from now, in the morning of May 17 (Philippine time), a new Miss Universe will be named, succeeding Zozibini Tunzi of South Africa, the pageant’s longest reigning queen ever. The daunting task of representing the more than 100 million Filipinos this year rests on the pretty shoulders of Ilongga, Rabiya Mateo.
Over 70 delegates have confirmed participation for the 69th edition of the Miss Universe pageant, presently being held in Florida, USA. The past few days have witnessed the delegates’ arrival in the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino where they will be billeted until the 10-day pageant’s conclusion.
