In just a few weeks, the Philippines will be hosting the Miss Universe 2016 pageant – one of the most known prestigious competitions in the univ—err, world; and undoubtedly, the country is a strong contender thanks to the Filipina’s beauty, grace, and intelligence.
If you can recall, our local beauties have taken home the crown three times: first by Gloria Diaz in 1969, followed by Margie Moran in 1973, and of course, most recently, by Pia Wurtzbach in 2015. Now, we’re once again eyeing the title as we root for 26-year-old Maxine Medina from Quezon City.
