Newly-crowned Miss Universe Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters has arrived in Manila.
The new Miss Universe is accompanied by last year’s winner, Iris Mittenaere, and other Miss Universe 2017 participants from Spain, Italy, Russia, Malaysia, India, Canada, China, and Singapore.
Brought in by the Department of Tourism, Nel-Peters, Mittenaere, and the pageant participants will be visiting Batanes, Vigan, Bohol, and Camiguin, reports ABS-CBNNews.com.
They will also showcase the work of talented designers from Mindanao in a charity fashion show.
