On exhibit at the Sofitel Philippine Plaza is the Francis Libiran Universe Collection which was opened last Wednesday night. It features all the creations that the Designer made for Miss Universe Philippines 2021 Beatrice Luigi Gomez. Most of them were worn during the 70th Miss Universe in Eilat, Israel.
The exhibit will run until next week.

Look: Miss Universe Harnaaz Kaur Sandhu packs a punch in these new images shot by Fadil Berisha. She is wearing a gown created by Naeem Khan of NYC.
And in the “Follow Me” video below, Harnaaz was filmed getting publicly tested for HIV.
Below is an official video of Miss Universe Harnaaz Sandhu and her apartment arrival in the Big Apple.
This year wasn’t the best for Philippine pageantry internationally, but not the worst either. It’s middling around the average range and pushing higher than 2019 and significantly compared to 2020. Keep in mind that I included only the competitions that I blogged about.

Miss Intercontinental – Cindy Obeñita
The Miss Globe – Maureen Montagne
Mr Gay World 2020 – Kodie Macayan
Mr Gay World 2021 – Joel Carcasona

If I missed anyone worth including/following, please reply in the comment section below. I’m just too happy that international pageantry has slowly stepped out of its lockdown shell. Hopefully, it will be so much better in 2022, omicron variant notwithstanding.
PS Samantha Bernardo’s 1st Runner-Up placement in MGI2020 should also be included above.
My bad.
Earlier tonight, a Zoom Press Conference was hosted by the MUPH Organization in honor of Miss Universe Philippines and 70th Miss Universe Top 5 Finalist Beatrice Luigi Gomez. Selected members of TV and pageant media attended the same. Below are some quick highlights:
– Luigi is very close to (now) Miss Universe Harnaaz Sandhu of India. She is happy with her victory.
– If Luigi can invite Harnaaz to the Philippines for a reunion in the future, she would definitely do so. And she will also invite four other fellow delegates close to her: Vietnam, Singapore, Nepal and Armenia.
– During the Preliminaries, Luigi was smiling from ear-to-ear during her presentations – partly because of Selection Committee member Marian Rivera. After seeing her continuous cheers in the panel, she just couldn’t remove the smile on her face. She was very happy.
– Luigi felt a surge of confidence during the finals right after the opening number when she saw how many Filipinos were in the audience. From there, she was just too thrilled to give her best even more.
– When asked what Filipino food she misses most, Luigi said #humba. She hasn’t been eating pork ever since arriving in Israel.
– Luigi would have wanted to tour Tel-Aviv before returning to the Philippines. But due to lack of time, she will plan another visit to Israel in the future.
– Early tomorrow night, Luigi will be back to the Philippines. Have a good flight! ✈️
And to our Miss Universe Philippines Beatrice Luigi Gomez, thank you so much for bringing honor to the country. Making it to the Top 5 means that you continued with our placement streak and upped the ante even higher.
I guess the feeling of vindication is in order, after proving all the naysayers wrong.
A #phenomenalwoman you are indeed!
