MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles® ) –  Previously, we reported that owner Donald Trump disqualified Miss Japan and Miss Philippines from this year’s Miss Universe Pageant because both are biracial and do not represent the true diversity ideals of the international contest.

That left the Philippines with no entry to the popular pageant. The reigning Miss Philippines, Pia Wurtzbach, is half Filipino and half German.

Today, Binibining Pilipinas Charities, the local franchise holder of the Miss Universe Pageant, announced that it will be sending a replacement candidate to represent the Philippines.

She is Carla Marie Madrigal from Misamis Oriental province who earlier this month was crowned Queen Philippines Universe 2015 at a stunning transgender pageant held in Cebu City.  Madrigal wowed the judges and audience with her natural, inidigenous beauty, her poise and personality and her national costume.

Filipinos have rallied behind Madrigal in the hopes of seeing their third Miss Universe. The other Filipinas who have held the title were Gloria Diaz in 1969 and Margarita Moran in 1973.

Trump has approved the new Philippine entry to the pageant.

In 2012, Trump also approved the participation of a transgender contestant in the Miss Universe Canada Pageant, Jenna Talackova, who unfortunately fell short of the national title.
