Pageant fanatics say that Miss Philippines Universe 2017 Rachel Peters has a strong chance of replicating Pia Wurtzbach’s
success as the country’s third Miss Universe. But what if the Miss
Universe pageant is held in the country again, will her being a hometown
girl solidify her chances?
That’s an interesting question to answer since Department of Tourism (DOT) chair Wanda Teo revealed that the country has been offered the hosting rights to the next edition of the Miss Universe pageant this November.

According to Teo, the organizers were happy with the event that was
held in Philippines in January, when Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach
crowned France’s Iris Mittenaere. The pageant, she said, even
overshadowed the pre-events of the recent Super Bowl, which is one of
the biggest sporting events in the US.
If the Philippines does host the pageant again, Teo said that they
want the DOT to have more control over the event and, as before, they
would have to look for sponsors to shoulder the costs.

whether the Philippines will host the 2017 pageant or not will be
announced in the next few weeks.
