The excitement builds up as the 65th Miss Universe season comes into full swing. In time for the pre-pageant activities starting January 14, Philippine bet Maxine Medina received a rousing “send-off” party organized by the Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Inc. (BPCI) at the Versailles Tent of Novotel Manila Araneta Center on Tuesday, January 10. The 26 year old Maxine was radiant and brimming with confidence as she warmly greeted and thanked members of the press. Members of her family as well as a handful of friends also came to show their love and support for the beauty queen. Maxine said she is grateful for all the support she has been getting, especially from Filipino netizens who actively root for her online. She asked for further support from everyone by using the pageant’s official hashtag#4M4MU. The former model and Interior Design graduate received words of encouragement from BPCI Chair Stella Marquez Araneta, no less. Her fellow Bb. Pilipinas 2016 sisters. She will be competing among 86 lovely international delegates from all over the world. All eyes will be on her, as she strives to follow in the footsteps of her compatriot, reigning Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach. The coronation night is slated on January 30, which is going to be a major worldwide event. The Philippines previously hosted Miss Universe pageant in 1974 and 1994.
