"Miss Universe: Confidently Beautiful"

     Jessa E. Mercado

        For the second time; the 65th Miss Universe pageant was held here in the Philippines; with 86 contestants all over the world representing their country; competing against the crown and the title as Miss Universe.


        By the time the competition comes down

to the final three (3); a dozen of beautiful

contestants we’re been eliminated. The

Philippines came in top 6, only

Miss France, Miss Haiti and Miss Columbia

we’re in. The audience we’re quietly waiting;

anxious about ‘who will win the pageant.’


        Miss Colombia Andrea Tovar was named

as second runner-up, Miss Haiti Raquel

Pelissier was named first runner-up while

Miss France Iris Mittenaere was crowned as

Ms. Universe 2016; a 23-year-old dental

student . Miss France enjoys dentistry and

cooking in her spare time. With her new                                                                         

platform, she hopes to be an advocate for                                                                                                 

oral hygiene.


                                                            Ms. Mittenaere was asked ‘name something over the course of your                                                                            life that you failed at and tell us what you learned from that experience.’

                                                            This is what her interpreter says:

        “I've failed several times in my life, so I thought that I failed the first time that I went out on a casting, because my name wasn't on the list. The very next day, I found that I was in a new book. So I think that when you fail, you have to be elevated, you have to try again, and keep going. If tonight, I'm not one of the winners, I will still have the great honor of being one of the three finalists, so I think that I have failed before, but I think this is a great first opportunity."

        Some we’re alarmed by its translation; one of the celebrities on TLC; who can understand French language twitted the right translation.”
