Mabuhay and Welcome to the Philippines, Miss Universe Harnaaz Sandhu!
Harnaaz arrived in Manila via the private plane of Gov Chavit Singson. Arch. Richelle Singson-Michael was also with them. She will be a special guest of Miss Universe Philippines 2022 for the Preliminaries and Finals.
Enjoy your stay in Manila, Harnaaz!

This is not her official homecoming yet, but Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray arrived back in the Philippines as arranged by LCS Group of Companies and Gov. Luis Chavit Singson. This further fuels the blog I posted earlier about the changing of guards for the Miss Universe franchise in the country. Let us wait for a formal announcement on that.
Until we get an Official Statement, it will all remain a rumor. But a strong rumor, I must add.
There are talks that the ownership of the Miss Universe franchise for the Philippines will allegedly change hands very soon. And part of the loud whispers is that Richelle Singson-Michael of the LCS Group could be the new owner. I feel sad for BPCI should that happen.
I will keep you posted on this shocking development. If ever.

PS Don’t be surprised if you hear rumors as well that the owners of Miss International and Miss Supranational are shopping around for new owners.
Preliminary Interviews done!
The seven members of the all-female panel who will select the next Miss Universe were amazed at the lineup of ladies they spent time talking to. The length of each interview may not be that long, but it already gave (left to right top photo) Lili Gil Valletta, Bui Simon, Monique Lhuillier, Michelle McLean, Iman Oubou, Janaye Ingram and Richelle Singson-Michael a good idea on who deserves to be in the Top 20 come Finals.
