Entertainment blog Fashion Pulis asks: “Is It True that Miss Universe 2017 in the Philippines is Cancelled?”
We checked Kat de Castros’ post on Thursday (September 29) and no longer found the status. Instead, we saw a different status asking Miss Universe fans to chill for now since there’s official statements yet from their boss Wanda Teo.
There’s no official statement yet from DOT so relax. Hold your comments and excitement to the biggest beauty event last year.
During the official Announcement on August 29, Tourism Secretary Wanda Teo revealed that former Ilocos Sur governor Chavit Singson, along with major sponsors such as Philippine Airlines (PAL), SM group, Japanese casino mogul Kazuo Okada, and Solar Entertainment, will handle the financing aspect of the Miss Universe 2016 hosting – not the Philippine government.
The country will be fielding Maxine Medina, a 25-year-old interior designer who has been modelling since 2008, in next year’s pageant. She will attempt to succeed Pia Wurtzbach, the first Filipina to win the title in over four decades.
