TOP 13, NASALANG AGAD
SA CASUAL INTERVIEW
TILA naiba naman ang estilo ngayon ng 2016 Miss Universe dahil nang tawagin ang Top 13, sumalang agad sa isang casual interview ni Steve Harvey, ang host, ang mga ito.
Unang tinawag si Miss Kenya na kauna-unahang naging contestant mula sa kanyang bansa. Sa murang edad, maagang nawala ang kanyang mga magulang. Isinunod si Miss Indonesia, si Kezia Warouw na tila naiilang pag-usapan ang ukol sa kanyang pagiging six feet tall, one foot taller sa average na taas ng mga babae sa kanyang bansa.
Pinag-usapan naman nina Miss USA, Deshauna Barber at Harvey ang ukol sa pagiging US reserved o pagiging miyembro nito ng militar.

Si Miss Thailand, Chalita Suansane ang nagwagi sa fan vote.
PAGTAWAG SA ‘PINAS
SA TOP 9, IBINITIN
PAGKARAAN ng Top 13, isinunod ang swimsuit portion na roon tinawag ang Top 9.
Nakasama sa listahan ng Top 9 sina Miss USA, Miss Thailand, Miss France, Miss Mexico, Miss Kenya, Miss Colombia, Miss Canada, Miss Haiti.
Tumawag muna ng commercial si Harvey bago binanggit ang ika-siyam na kasama sa Top 9, ang Miss Philippines. Pero bago ito, marami na ang kinabahan na ipinahayag sa kani-kanilang Twitter account.
Sa kabilang banda, bukod sa casual interview, nabago rin ang format sa bilang ng semifinalist na mula sa 15 ay naging 13 na lamang. Ang 13 ang naglaban-laban para sa swimsuit at dito pinili ang Top 9 para naman rumampa suot ang kani-kanilang evening gown.
Inumpisahan ang gabi ng koronasyon sa pamamagitan ng pagkanta ni US rapper Flo Rida sa pamamagitan ng pagkanta ng kanyang medley hits an gang debut album na Low at ang Zillionaire.
Hinarana naman ng Boyz II Men ang mga finalist sa kanilang awiting I’ll Make Love To You, On Bended Knee, at End of the Road.
MISS HAITI, MAY DUGONG PINOY
HINDI man nagwagi si Medina, isang Pinoy pa rin ang namayani sa katatapos na beauty pageant. Sinasabing may dugong Pinoy sa mother side si Miss Haiti Raquel Pelissier na seven years ago ay nakaranas siya at ang kanyang pamilya ng matinding lindol na kumitil sa may 300,000 katao at naapektuhan ang may 900,000.
Sa question and answer portion, umangat na agad (sa Top 6 pa lang) si Miss Haiti. Ang unang naging tanong sa kanya ay: On January 21st, an estimated 4.8 million people marched worldwide for human rights, women’s rights and other issues. If you were able to participate, what would you have been marching for?
Na sinagot niya ng, “Hello, everybody. One of my, one of the women I admire in the world is Eleanor Roosevelt because she fought so much for human rights. And I feel that that’s what we need in the world.
We are just one. A hundred thousand years ago, 6 species of human lived in the world. Now, we are just one and we all need each other and we need to respect each other.”
At sa katanungan naman para sa Top 3 na, Name something from the course of your life that you failed at and tell us what you learned from that experience na sinagot niya ng:
“About seven years ago, I survived the earthquake and feel I was failing myself because I was not living my dream. I was living day by day before that earthquake. It was a very bad event, but I chose to be a strong person. If I’m here today, it’s because I’m living my dreams,” aniya.
SAGOT NA NAGPANALO
KAY MISS FRANCE
TULAD ni Miss Haiti, maganda rin ang naging sagot kapwa nina Miss France at Miss Colombia. Pero sa huli namayani ang Miss France na sinabing hindi niya akalaing siya ang magwawagi at tatanghaling Miss Universe.
Narito ang kasagutan nina Miss France at Miss Colombia sa katanungang, Name something from the course of your life that you failed at and tell us what you learned from that experience.
Ani Miss France, “I failed several times in my life. I thought I failed the first time I went out on a casting because my name wasn’t on the list, and 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, and you to try again and keep going. If tonight, I’m not I’m not one of the winners, I would still have had the great honored of being one of the three finalists. So, I think I have failed before, but for me this is a great first opportunity.”
Sinabi naman ni Miss Colombia na, “I think many times, one makes mistakes for many things, during moments when you may not accept someone due to their differences, to not accept them due to their sexual preferences, and to not be capable of accepting their error—I think of any of those experiences gives you the opportunity to have strength and value and principles.
PIA WURTZBACH,
INAKAP SI MEDINA
VERY tounching naman ang picture na naka-post sa Instagram account ni Jonas Antonio Gaffud ng Mercator.
Doo’y ipinakita niya ang pagyakap ni Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach kay Medina matapos itong hindi matawag sa Top 3. Ang larawan ay may caption na—”Thank you so much @piawurtzbach for the gesture of comforting @maxine_medina #forthephilippines #missuniverse.”
Bago ito, isang napakagandang Pia Wurtzbach ang lumakad suot ang kanyang signature blue gown bilang final turn niya ng pagiging Miss Universe. Roon ay pinasalamatan niya ang kanyang pamilya, mga kaibigan, ang Miss Universe Organization, ang mga naging kasamahan sa Miss Universe, at ang fans na sumuporta sa kanya.
Punumpuno ng pasasalamat ang mensahe ni Pia.
“To the next Miss Universe, fasten your seatbelt. At the end of your reign, you will grown in confidence, maturity, and faith. For me, the title was a dream come true, but the work continues. Kababayan, maraming salamat po. Mahal ko kayo. (I love you al.) Thank you for everything,” aniya.
