Miss Universe 2016 beauty pageant may be held in the Philippines. According to Miss Universe president Paula Shugart, this is the right time to hold the 63-year-old international competition in the home country of Filipino celebrities Pia Wurtzbach, Manny Pacquiao and Charice Pempengco.

Recently, Shugart told ABS-CBN News that she has long wanted to have Miss Universe held in the Philippines. She said, "For years, I've talked about someday having the pageant here. I do know with Pia (Wurtzbach) right now, the entire worldwide focus is on the Philippines."

"I think it's a great opportunity," Shugart added. "I would love to be able to make it work. We'll see."

According to Shugart, new owners joined Miss Universe in October 2015 and all they did was to focus on getting the show on. Currently in the Philippines with Wurtzbach, she said they will figure things out when she goes back to the United States.

Shugart is happy not only because she is back in the Philippines again but also because during her time as Miss Universe president, a Filipino representative was able to win the crown.

The first time the Philippines hosted the Miss Universe beauty pageant was in 1974. It was also the first time in the history of Miss Universe that it was held in Asia.

Held at the Cultural Center of the Philippines in Manila, Miss Universe 1974 crowned Amparo Muñoz of Spain as the winner while the Philippines' Guadalupe Cuerva Sanchez only made it to the semi-finals. She was the successor of Margarita Moran, the second Miss Universe from the Philippines, the first being Gloria Diaz.

In 1994, the Miss Universe beauty pageant was held again in the Philippines for the second time. Sushmita Sen of India was crowned by Dayanara Torres of Puerto Rico as the winner while the Philippines' Charlene Gonzales made it to the Top 6.

Meanwhile, Wurtzbach, the third Filipino to win Miss Universe, briefly stopped at the Manila City Hall on Jan. 25, Monday, before her courtesy call to the Senate in the Philippines to receive a Citation of Excellence, GMA News reported.

Manila City Mayor Joseph Estrada gave Wurtzbach a key to the city and declared her as ab "adopted daughter of Manila." Miss Universe 2015 also received a pearl necklace and a bag from the former President of the Philippines.

con razón.. son tan obvio
y no te extrañe de un back

Si es allá tiene que ser grandioso, algo bueno debe salir de todo este desastre.
Ojala paguen muy bien por el regalo que les hicieron y veamos un show majestuoso.

Pues yo digo que si una candidata realmente buena tipo Megan bien venido el back to back...pero no mas Filipinas feas por favor.

A pesar de que Madame Stella Márquez ganó hace muuuuchos años su corona como MI,  no ha perdido la elegancia y el porte que siempre la ha distinguido, opacó full a la actual MU y arrastró a la Paula Mouse con ese vestido de pepas   pillen la forma correcta de como Madame Stella lleva el ramo de flores comparado a Pía y la señora Shugart.

Si Paula Shugart está en las Filipinas, con ese propósito es que va, porque ella nunca ha viajado antes con las reinas a otros países, que yo recuerde siempre ha enviado a un hombre calvito que parece asiático a viajar con las Miss Universe.

Asi se pagan los favores, pero también dicen que Paula Shugart es "amiguísima" de Madame Stella Márquez y que por eso viajó exclusivamente a Filipinas.

bueno esperemos solo la confirmación

La organización se le tiene que dedicar muchísimo a esta Mis U y tienen que invertir sus buenos dólares si quieren que el negocio por lo menos se mantenga a flote.

realmente, amigo, me parece q va ser back to back para philippines, espero q almenos sea com 1 reyna super presiosa como megan young, por exemplo.

Yo insisto, si es una reina realmente bella y que lo merezca, bienvenido el back to back...pero no más coronas regaladas para Filipinas. Ya les dieron su gustico, con sabor amargoso pero se los dieron...ya basata de Filipinas feas en las finalistas y menos como Mis U.

Los Colombianos habrian hecho  b2b si no hubiesen retirado su intencion de hacer el MU en Colombia por estar queriendo solidarizarse con los Mexicanos, a quienes realmente no les interesaba que los apoyaran o por lo menos eso manifestaron...
