Here are photos of the reuniting Miss Universe 2014 beauties when they stayed at the vacation-worthy paradise in Panglao, Alona Tropical Beach Resort. The ladies were extended the warmest welcome and hospitality led by its ever-reliable Deo Guden who really prepared for their much-anticipated visit.

The strong friendship started during Miss Universe 2014 held in Doral, Florida, U.S.A. when a large group of candidates forged a sisterhood that has stood the test of time even if we are just talking of an edition held more than three years ago. They’ve had reunions held in recent years, the last one being in Costa Rica around this time last year.
This year, and based on the latest IG post of Miss Universe Philippines 2014 MJ Lastimosa, thirty (30) of the ladies who participated in the Doral edition will be coming over to the country for their annual reunion around middle of next month. MJ, obviously, will be hosting them.
And with the fresh confirmation I received today from a good friend, Bohol Province will be one of the several pit stops in their vacation along with Cebu, Palawan and more. According to him, the visiting beauties will be accomodated at Alona Beach Resort, Amorita, Henann and Bellevue from August 19-21. The other details outside of Bohol are still unconfirmed, but the 3D/2N stay in Panglao alone is a guarantee of their arrival.
So expect ladies like Nia Sanchez of the U.S.A., Migbelis Castellanos of Venezuela and Kaci Fennell of Jamaica to be Philippine-bound soon!

Miss USA 2014 1st Runner-Up Audra Mari in one of her latest photoshoots
That memorable picture of Audra Mari and Nia Sanchez - last two women standing during Miss USA 2014
When Audra Mari competed during Miss USA 2014, she wasn’t really one of the hottest favorites to make it. At the onset, that is. But as weeks progressed, pre-pageant watchers started to take notice of this girl from Fargo who is slowly becoming a solid performer. And the minute she took her stage turns during Preliminaries, everyone is in agreement that she is definitely a major contender.
Watch her Hot Seat interview during the competition now.

To know Audra behind the state crown and all the pageant works, here is a video to watch about her life in Fargo, North Dakota. She spent the day with Siri Joy Freeh (a former Miss Minnesota) where she detailed most of her life over burgers, go-karts and laser tag.
Watch now.

So will another Fil-Am conquer the Miss USA 2015 stage tonight? Will Maureen Montagne do one notch better than Audra Mari and finally win that coveted new crown by DIC?
Let’s all wait and see if things will go in the favor of Miss Arizona.
