Miss Universe: The best info I could provide for now

The quote below is the best information I can provide about the next edition of Miss Universe for now. This forms part of the message sent to all National Directors a week before Christmas last month.

…”As we evaluate the current global crisis, health measures, travel restrictions, delegate participation, and the distribution of a promising vaccine, we find it in everyone’s best interest to extend the date of our national competition and now anticipate it to be later in April or May 2021. We hope that this extension will allow you more time to prepare your delegate.

On a separate note, we will have more information regarding the National Costume Show after the New Year, as we are weighing several options, including virtual.”

What gives me the chills is that the organization is including the possibility of a virtual pageant among its options – something that I hope will never happen to our favorite pageant.

  1. asa pa kayo
    2022 to 2023 pa matatapos ang pandemya
    sa dami ng babakunahan at hindj magpapabakuna
    hindi matatapos ito
    ang bakuna eh hindi rin kasiguraduhan

    mag hunos dili nga kayo
    virtual pageant na lang muna like ME

  2. Hmmm looks like MUO is inspired by Miss Earth’s flawless and beautiful Natcos virtual presentation which was actually a visual feast.

  3. Favor sakin ung virtual system for natcos. kahit may vaccine na. it is better to do natcos virtually.

  5. Yung pagiging stubborn ng Miss Earth na hindi makinig sa mga critics na kesho hindi plausible yang plan for a virtual pageant ngayon eh blueprint na ng ibang pageant to follow the footstep!

    Yung mga nangahas na mag-hold ng live pageant, hindi rin naman naging remarkable yung presentation!

    Mukat-mukat mo niyan by the time na mag-corona sila ng winner eh baka 4 to 6 months na lang ang reign non! Hay naku!

    • @ ClaiRe IbbeTson ‘Eh, ‘di overlap reigns/contracts of two (2) queens this year, po. 🙂

      Unprecedented! Ngayon lang naman; siguro hindi naman sasablay ‘yung mga bakuna. Let’s see how it looks! Like two male lions cooperating to protect the pride, swallow muna ng pride ang MU. Besides, kaya nga ipipilit ang live pageant kasi they need the ticket sales, kuno… In any case, lahat ng galaw ngayon ng MUO, aprubado ng creditors ng IMG.

  6. PAANO KAYA MAKAKA BIYAHE SI MISS SOUTH AFRICA? NASA KANILA ANG INIIWASANG SOUTH AFRICAN COVID 19 VARIANT?

    • AT NAGKA COVID NA SIYA, ACCORDING TO RESEARCH, AT LEAST 90 DAYS NA COVID POSITIVE PA RIN AFTER MAGKA COVID

      • @ PAQUITA X Natasha Joubert is struck with SARS-Cov2, po? 😦

        (Aaawwww….)

        What exactly is the deal with the South African variant, po? The UK one, we know, is more easily spread but not necessarily more lethal… Are you implying that once ANY of the MU 2020 candidates is struck, effectively barred na siya from competing at the Final? Like MIG at MUP?

      • Flor mas worst daw ang South African Variant kaysa sa UK variant, Di pa nila alam kung may effect as vaccinations

      • @ PAQUITA X Thanks for the reply, sis! 🙂

        Was just now able to bone up on this South African variant… What the Government should do is IMPOSE A BLANKET BAN ON ALL IN-BOUND (coming in to the country) PASSENGER FLIGHT ASAP! As it is, this new bug is spreading like wildfire all around us. We (still) have an opportunity to stop its entry, if it has not yet done so already. Let’s NOT screw this up, please! We cannot know from which direction it can sneak in…

        THIS IS THE TIME FOR OUR LEADERS TO SHOW BOLDNESS. Kung aasa lang tayo sa mungkahi ng WHO,… Mabuti sana kung makaka-react tayo agad-agaran. PROACTIVE, please!

    • Natasha contracted covid before Christmas tas she’s Covid free na 😂 gala gala na Sa Cape Town tingnan mo sa ig. And the research about 90 days skeme it’s not true 😂. Kahit totoo yun pasok naman pa rin sa banga may January February March pa 😂

  7. DATI PINAGTATAWANAN AT NILALAIT NG ASHTIE NIGHTS/KORONA GROUP ANG MISS EARTH FOR CONDUCTING OF VIRTUAL PAGEANTS, PERO ANG IDOL NILANG MISS UNIVERSE AY GAYA GAYA SA MISS EARTH INCLUDING THEIR CONTINENTAL SELECTIONS.

    WITH THE NEW COVID-19 VARIANT, NAGKAKAGULO ANG MUNDO AT PARAMI PA NG PARAMI ANG CASES, ANG MISS UNIVERSE PAURONG NA NANG PAURONG AND DATES. I DONT THINK MAY MISS UNIVERSE PA UNLESS MAG VIRTUAL AT GAYAHIN NILA ANG MISS EARTH.

    • Ashtie Nights is #AhasAndKweens galamay. Snobbed sila sa ME kaya nilalait na lang. LOL. Jonas and his gang, nilamon na kayo ng sistema. Lumaki ulo niyo.

  8. I think they saw how Miss Earth’s National Costume Presentation received good feedbacks. It gave the candidates the opportunity to showcase the beauty of their countries. It will also be a big help to the candidates who wont be burdened anymore to bring their natcos considering the restrictions and difficulties of travel in this time of pandemic. So I’m for the virtual natcos segment.

  9. Good thing about virtual Natcos presentation is that its intricate detail can be clearly visualized.

  10. YA-AASSS!!!! Back to the good old schedule – May. 🙂

    NatCos lang naman ang “virtual”; at least ‘di na sila magbibitbit. Which also means it can be even GRANDER in scope/size, kasi ‘di naman ibiyabiyahe…

    Davonna Finley said NatCos looks so much better virtually because the creations can be seen or displayed in their proper context. I so agree! Just look again at ME-Brazil’s “hyacinth macaw” set against forest greenery – SUPERBE.

    But Sweden, I saw in a post in a Brazil-based pageant page, will be unable to join this “2020” edition as their national selection will be in August… But the appointee/winner will definitely make it to the “2021” edition, which I assume will be year-end. Sweden, the country that was banking on the hope that herd immunity would somehow manage to establish, is now red in the face?
