MISS UNIVERSE PAGEANT: PHILIPPINES, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC AND GERMANY VIE FOR BEST NATIONAL COSTUME

DORAL, Florida (The Adobo Chronicles) – Come Sunday, January 25, the new Miss Universe will be crowned in the pageant’s finals to be telecast live from Doral, Florida.

One of the most coveted special awards to be announced that evening will be the Best National Costume.

The 88 contestants paraded in their national costumes earlier this week during the preliminary competition.  The judges have made their choice but it won’t be revealed until Sunday.

The Adobo Chronicles was able to obtain a leaked document bearing the names of the top three contenders for the national costume award.  Here they are:
