MANILA, Philippines — With three more days to the preliminary competitions, the Miss Universe clock has begun its countdown.
On Wednesday, November 15 (November 16 in Manila), pageant fans and supporters will be cheering for their favorites when the 85 delegates to the 72nd pageant edition fight it tooth-and-nail in the swimsuit and evening gown competitions. This is where each individual contestant is graded and, combined with her closed-door interview score, determines her chances of landing in the semifinal round.
The following day, November 16, all the candidates will be presenting their respective national costumes. Both prelims and NatCos shows will be broadcast live through streaming partner, Live Bash.
Another way of getting a placement in the semifinal round is through the Fan Vote, where the highest voted delegate is given a slot. With a day to go for pollsters to vote, before the online poll closes for the Voice for Change Fan Vote, fans and supporters are reminded to cast their votes for their favorite delegates.
