MEXICO CITY, Mexico (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Three countries so far have pulled out of the Miss Universe Beauty Pageant because of Donald Trump’s disparaging remarks about Mexicans during the launch of his U.S. presidential campaign. First, it was Mexico, followed by Panama, then the Philippines.
But Mexico and the Philippines have had a change of heart. They are, after all, sending a representative to this year’s pageant.
Mexico is sending Elba Esther Gordillo while the Philippines is sending Manny Pacquiao’s mom, Dionisia.
Like in previous years, people from around the world will have the chance to vote online for their favorite candidate. The top vote-getter in the online voting is automatically included in the 10 finalists.
