Filipinas! Idolatry And Witchcraft In Pursuit Of Miss Universe Crown.

Leave a comment

In the Philippines, the pursuit of a Miss Universe crown is not just a competition; it’s a national crusade.Filipinos, renowned for their hospitality and resilience, are now channeling that spirit into ensuring Michelle Dee clinches the tiara. 

Citizens, willing to sacrifice their daily rice intake and part with hard-earned pesos, have turned the Miss Universe fan vote into a battleground of generosity.

But the devotion doesn’t stop there. With a penchant for divine intervention, Filipinos are now appealing to the universe powers for a fifth Miss Universe crown. Novenas, religious statues, and even a touch of kulam (witchcraft) are enlisted in this unconventional campaign. Some might call it over-the-top, others a masterclass in commitment. Either way, in the quest for the prestigious crown, the Philippines is leaving no stone unturned, praying and voting its way into the cosmic spotlight.

Philippine Beauty Salons Take A Holiday On November 19

Leave a comment

Beauty salons across the Philippines have announced their closure on November 19, Philippine time. Why, you ask? 

Well, it’s not a national holiday or a sudden appreciation for a weekend break. No, it’s something far more critical – the Super Bowl of the LGBTQ+ community, the Miss Universe pageant.

As the nation braces itself for the fierce competition, beauty enthusiasts are taking a day off from their regular routines to collectively watch and cheer for the Filipina candidate. The stakes are high, and so are the emotions of hairdressers, makeup artists, and nail technicians. 

Salons will resume operations on Monday, provided Michelle Dee secures her spot in the top 5 or brings home the crown.

Heaven forbid if she doesn’t make it – you wouldn’t want to face the wrath of a disgruntled hair and makeup artist with your unstyled hair or chipped nails. 

It seems in the Philippines; the pursuit of beauty takes a back seat only when the crown is at stake.

Miss Universe 2023: Michelle Dee In Hiding Or Just Late?

Leave a comment

In a video posted online by a netizen, Miss Universe Philippines Michelle Dee mysteriously vanished during a recent candidate event, leaving fans and fellow contestants bewildered. 

Speculation is rife as to whether Dee’s disappearance is linked to the widespread criticism of her national costume, a representation of Philippine Airlines and the Department of Tourism’s controversial campaign logo.

 Is she hiding in embarrassment, seeking refuge from the turbulent skies of fashion faux pas? Some wryly suggest that Michelle might have been taking cues from the airline itself, notorious for its untimely arrivals. 

As the beauty queen plays hide-and-seek with the public eye, the nation eagerly awaits her grand entrance – just like a delayed flight from the national carrier.
