For now, the subject of this blog entry is still a rumor because only the Miss Universe Organization can make official statements about the venue of the 68th Miss Universe. Signs are pointing, though, to a possible return to the Philippines with a January, 2020 schedule being the alleged target month.

For starters, I have received a message that Cebu and Boracay are allegedly being considered as the out-of-town destinations of the candidates while in the country. And my source is someone I just won’t take lightly.

Whatever the final outcome will be, let’s all just wait and see. While I may not jump for joy should it happen, then all I can do is to accept the verdict. Seeing Catriona Gray crowning her successor here would be such a thrill to make up for the “punishing” coverage if ever.
