Rumor: The Philippines to host Miss International and Miss World in 2017 & 2018



Rumor: The Philippines to host Miss International and Miss World in 2017 & 2018



Few more weeks and it's going to be the 65th Miss Universe​ pageant already which the Department Of Tourism of the Philippines has been preparing for many months already and now, rumor has it that they're preparing for another huge event for 2017 and 2018 that pageant fans here in the Philippines would love to hear. Rumor has it that they're planning to bring another two Grand Slam pageant here in the Philippines,  Miss International in 2017 and Miss World in 2018.

The Philippines' Department of Tourism initiated a plan to host Miss International next year in the Philippines and a formal negotiation might happen. In October, DOT Secretary, Wanda Teo, visited Kylie Verzosa in Japan after her victory in Miss International 2016.

The initiative on holding Miss International 2017 in Manila is something that started from small talks that allegedly originated from the country’s Department of Tourism. And 15 hours before Christmas, I am telling you now that if everything goes beyond loose lip service and a Philippine delegation flies to Tokyo, Japan to make formal negotiations, then I would be genuinely thrilled for the dream event becoming a reality.
Miss International competition has been held in the Philippines twice and consecutively from 1980 to 1981. Wouldn’t it just be more exciting to see the surviving Japan-based pageant (that has honored the Filipina six times now) to finally land on our shores? And with Kylie Verzosa as the reigning titleholder, crowning her successor here would be the real icing on the cake.

I'm ecstatic about this because I think it's time for Miss International and Miss World to be staged here in the Philippines. There are plans of bringing these pageants in the past, but it never pushed through. If DOT of the Philippines can get sponsors for this pageant without the government spending a dime on it, then they could get a nod easily with President Duterte and if they can staged the Miss Universe​ pageant successfully, which I think they will, this coming January then they can definitely do the same for Miss International and Miss World. Seeing the reigning queen Kylie Verzosa crown her successor in the Philippines would be the real icing on the cake. Take note though that nothing is final yet, but if plans will push through then this would be another opportunity to showcase the Philippines INTERNATIONALY or to the WORLD.
