MANILA, Philippines — Miss Universe 2017 Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters, Miss Philippines and top 10 finalist Rachel Peters and other pageant representatives modeled Mindanao fabrics and designs by Filipino designers in a fashion show on Saturday.

During the runway show held as part of the Women of Significance gala night at the Sofitel Philippine Plaza in Manila, Nel-Peters walked in a silver Filipiñiana outfit by Filipino fashion designer Renee Salud. 

The fashion show culminates the four-day visit of the Miss Universe 2016 and 2017 bets to the country as part of the Department of Tourism’s Bring Home a Friend marketing promotion that seeks to give incentives to Filipinos who will invite their foreign friends to explore the Philippines.
