During Gazini and Emma's recent send-off in Araneta City, the queens were asked by the press about their preparedness for their upcoming international pageants.
Tiglao, who is gunning for a back-to-back win for the Philippines following Karen Gallman's success last year, said: "Because of the change of location, change of country, I will fix my visa first going to Egypt."
From India, the Miss Intercontinental pageant will be held in Egypt this year. The Philippines hosted the competition last year.
Ganados, on the other hand, said: "I was in New York before and Canada, together with Leren (Miss Globe 2019 2nd runner-up Leren Mae Bautista), Philippine Trapestry with Renee Salud, So, yes, I’ve already fixed my US visa, that’s already done."
Gazini explained that since she had been to US and Canada before, in Canada for the "Philippine Trapestry" event co-organized by Filipino designer Renee Salud, her visa is no longer a problem.
Recently, the Miss Universe Organization announced that this year's pageant will be held on December 8 in Georgia, USA.
Like Emma, Gazini targets a back-to-back win for the Philippines and succeed Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray.
