Who made it to your 65th Miss Universe Finalist?
After watching the swimsuit and evening gown pre-pageant competition I think the world finally saw that our contender has a chance. Maxine Medina was one of those who stood out in her emerald green evening gown and her hair all the way up. She was also stunning in her tropical green printed two-piece swimsuit with her hair down.
Ms. Philippines got a chance all she needs to do is excel in the question and answer portion and her chances to be in the Top 5 finalist will be great.
