Reigning Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach explained that the pageant this year which is held in the Philippines is a lot better. She said that she likes how the preliminary competition was done in the country.
Wurtzbach together with actor Derek Ramsay hosted the swimsuit and long gown competitions at the Mall of Asia Arena. She explained that the flow of the pageant is faster this time as reported by ABS-CBN. The candidates come out of the stage in three's instead of the usual one by one.
Another good thing about the new strategy is that with three ladies on stage at one time, the audience can have more to look at. The information about the candidates is being read while they are walking which is another innovation.
The 2015 Miss Universe winner whose victory sparked controversy with Miss Colombia has a lot of promises for the upcoming event. She said that the audience and those who watch on the Internet and televisions will see a world-class show. "The audience will get their money's worth," she promised.
The pageant to be held at the MOA Arena on January 30, 2017, will be choosing its 65th queen. Pia Wurtzbach is the third Filipina to bring home the crown.
The 27-year-old beauty queen said that the candidates are lucky that they came to the Philippines. She said that when she competed in Las Vegas, they just stayed within the city. Unlike her in the country, the candidates were toured all over the country.
Pia Wurtzbach will be bequeathing the crown to the next Miss Universe. She is quite emotional remembering all the experiences she had during her reign. She acknowledged Ester Swan for her support as she did her duties as the reigning queen as per Inquirer.
The 65th Miss Universe coronation will be seen live on ABS-CBN Channel 2 on Monday, January 30, 2017, at 8 a.m. (Manila time).
