So just how fun and fulfilling will it be to become an Official Candidate of Miss Universe Philippines 2020?
Take it from the organization:
“As a contestant of Miss Universe Philippines, you will have a real job for more than 2 months. What kind? An incredible one. You will attend shoots, events, cultural exposures, and personal trainings. You will push for your advocacies, develop your leadership skills, and promote our country to the world. You will get all those experiences while potentially earning an income during the course of the pageant.
Joining Miss Universe Philippines may just be one of the best things you’ll experience in life. Apply now!”

She already submitted her application for Bb. Pilipinas 2020. So between now and the start of official screening, let us feast our eyes once more on the new photos of the returning Honey Cartasano as photographed by Jai Murcillo. She is wearing a Leo Almodal gown with styling by Paolo Ballesteros.
Samantha Mae Bernardo has been doing quite a deal of thinking the past number of months. Her two forays in Bb. Pilipinas were relatively successful, but not fulfilling enough as to celebrate success. Having been runner-up on both attempts can really leave someone teetering from so many angles. Will a third try be the anticipated denouement she is waiting for? Or will doing a newer national pageant do the trick? 
Personally, I would consider Sam a thoroughbred in beauty pageants. Not that she is completely faultless especially in the way she would handle her Q&A, but on almost all counts, she is as polished (more polished even, imo) compared to the next best interested joiner among the familiar names and faces planning to return via Miss Universe Philippines 2020. If she had clinched either the Supranational or Grand International crowns last year, she could have made us proud in either Poland or Venezuela. But such is destiny when the time and circumstances are not yet ripe. 
Tonight, Reina Hispanoamericana Filipinas Katrina S. Llegado boarded Philippine Airlines PR126 that will bring her to New York. From there, she will connect to the flight en route to Sta. Cruz, Bolivia where she will begin the once-interrupted journey to the Reina Hispanoamericana crown.
Ever wondered about the individuals behind Aces & Queens now?
