Miss Universe 2016, 2017 title holders to visit Philippines

MANILA, Philippines — Newly crowned Miss Universe Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters of South Africa and Miss Universe 2016 Iris Mittenaere of France will visit the Philippines, according to the Miss Universe Organization.

In a series of social media posts, MUO said Nel-Peters, Mittenaere and other contestants are headed to the Philippines to join the Department of Tourism’s Women Of Significance Gala Night and a Miss Universe fashion show sponsored by FrontRow Enterprise Philippines.

“They’re looking forward to the incredible hospitality of the Department of Tourism-Philippines, seeing some of the 7,107 islands, being part of DOT’s Women of Significance Gala Night and the Miss Universe Fashion Show,” the post read.

FrontRow also confirmed that the pageant title-holders and some of this year’s candidates would walk the runway in its sponsored Miss Universe fashion show. FrontRow described the show as the “most beautiful fashion show.”
