17 Bizarro things that might happen during Miss Universe pageant in PH

In live events, just like in real life, mishaps are inevitable. Last year’s Miss Universe was probably one of the most unforgettable ever.

With everything that has happened—and are still happening—here in the Philippines, we thought of possible scenarios that could happen during the Miss Universe pageant here in our country.

 

1. In an alternate universe, Donald Trump will vow to “Make Miss Universe great again.”

Let’s all hold hands.

 

2. During the Question and Answer  portion, one of the contestants will get interrupted and will go on full rage mode because ipapadala nya dapat ‘yon sa “peysbuk.”

3. Steve Harvey will once again rush to the stage, this time not with an envelope, but with a jacket for each of the contestants!

4. There will be a mix-up in the names of the winners again, and this time, it’s not Steve Harvey’s fault — it’s former President Gloria Arroyo who will leave us with:

5. Miss Universe contestants will recite “Pabebe girls” because walang makakapigil sa kanila!
