Miss Universe Philippines 2019 Gazini Christiana Jordi Ganados left the country this morning, Tuesday, November 26, for Atlanta, Georgia to compete at the annual Miss Universe 2019 pageant on December 8 (Dec 9 here).
Gazini, who traced her roots to Bohol, is gunning for a back to back crown.
She was crowned Miss Bohol 2017 first runner-up.
Last year’s winner is Catriona Elisa Gray.
Before her flight to USA, Gazini has teased details of her wardrobe, which she said would delight Filipino fans.
ABS-CBN News reported that the 23-year-old Palestinian-Filipina beauty queen will be bringing some 30 outfits, including evening gowns and a national costume made by master couturier Cary Santiago.
“My natcos [national costume] is gorgeous… Feeling ko ito ‘yong pinakabonggang natcos that I will ever wear in my whole life and the Philippines will ever see,” she said in interview with ABS-CBN News on Monday.
She has also prepared 2 evening gowns for the pageant’s preliminary round and finals night, which will take place in Atlanta, Georgia on Dec. 9 Manila time.
Aiming to replicate the success of reigning Miss Universe Catriona Gray, which will give the Philippines a back-to-back victory, Ganados underwent rigorous training to perfect her ramp and public speaking skills, among others.
She admitted she put greater focus on “question and answer.”
