Rachel flew to Las Vegas on Saturday, November 11. Since she arrived, she has had her first live Facebook interview with South Africa’s Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters, Zambia’s Isabel Chikoti, and Ireland’s Cailín Ní Toibín, where they got to know each other through a series of questions.

Rachel hopes to become the 4th Miss Universe from the Philippines, while Bunga hopes to repeat the success of her fellow queens Kevin Lilliana, who won Miss International 2017 and Ariska Pertiwi, who was crowned Miss Grand International in 2016. – Rappler.com
