Global Apparel Brand Welcomes Miss Universe 2016 Candidates
Although it was raining cats and dogs all day, today is a blissful day for us Cebuanos who got the chance to meet and greet some of the lovely Miss Universe 2016 candidates. Filipinos love beauty pageants so you can only imagine how thankful we were when our very own Miss Pia Wurtzbach was crowned Miss Universe 2015.
Ten exquisitely beautiful candidates were warmly welcomed today in one of UNIQLO's two stores in Cebu. The Japanese-owned global casual apparel brand let the candidates shopped for their favorite pair of jeans from UNIQLO's latest denim line for women, comprising Ultra Stretch Jeans, Skinny Fit Jeans and Slim Fit Boyfriend Jeans.
Together with the enthusiastic Cebuanos, Mr. Katsumi Kubota, COO, UNIQLO Philippines welcomed the candidates. The respectable COO said that the brand is committed in creating LifeWear which is a high-quality clothing that is universal in design and comfort and made for everyone. Mr. Kubota added that it is an honor for them to have such a diverse group of special visitors from all over the world - the Miss Universe candidates.
Wearing some of UNIQLO's latest spring-summer items, the Miss U candidates greeted everyone with a smile. We didn't get the chance to talk to them, but the lovely candidates were very much happy to grace us with their beauty. It's amazing to see them with grace despite the fact that they were busy as beavers in preparation for the upcoming coronation night which will be held by the end of this month in Manila.

The ladies' beauty killed my self-esteem so I consoled myself by buying a new top from UNIQLO before heading home. haha lelz I no longer have to worry because I know I'll be as confident as ever wearing what I got from UNIQLO. I love the aesthetic of the brand and I laud their efforts in bringing more warmth and comfort in people's lives. Do you guys love the brand too?
A short trivia about the upcoming Miss Universe:
This year's Miss Universe competition will be the 65th Miss Universe pageant and it will be the second time in the history of the competition that the pageant will skip the entire year, following the 2014 pageant which was held in January 2015.
I just have to pinpoint that one because somebody did told me that I got it all wrong when I said this year is Miss Universe 2016. I definitely remember Pia winning the 2015 title, so I firmly believe that the next Miss Universe will be Miss U 2016. hahaha I have to satisfy my curiosity so I researched about the matter. lelz Now it's official: it's Miss Universe 2016 which will be held this upcoming January 30, 2017, contrary to what other people think as Miss Universe 2017.
Here are a couple of videos that I took during the event. Please pardon its quality. I took them using my phone. ops.
