Are you ready to welcome another Miss Universe winner?

Having captured the Miss Universe Philippines 2022 crown in April 2022, Pasay City's Celeste Cortesi is now in New Orleans for the 71st Miss Universe competition. The newest Philippine representative is preparing for the prestigious pageant, which is slated to be staged this January in the United States. The PH titleholder will compete against 85 aspiring candidates.

More Filipinos can watch and express their support for Celeste Cortesi, the country’s bet to bag the Miss Universe 2022 title, as ABS-CBN will air and stream the awaited pageant live on A2Z Channel 11, Kapamilya Channel, Metro Channel, and iWantTFC on January 15 (Sunday) at 9 AM (Philippine time).

Celeste, who represented Pasay in the Miss Universe Philippines 2022 last April, steadily gained the top spot in the nationwide pageant after winning several other awards including Miss Photogenic and Best in Swimsuit.

Now, she is eyeing for the crown currently held by Miss Universe 2021 Harnaaz Sandhu of India in order to bring a fifth Miss Universe win home to the Philippines.
