Pageant fans all over the country can watch the live telecast of The 70th Miss Universe Competition on A2Z channel 11 on Dec.13 starting at 7:30 a.m.
The coronation night, which will be held in Eilat, Israel this year, will also have a same day replay on A2Z at 11:00 p.m. and will be shown on ABS-CBN cable channels Kapamilya Channel and Metro Channel, and streaming platform iWantTFC on later dates.
Through this partnership, more Filipinos will get to watch and support Miss Universe Philippines 2021 Beatrice Luigi Gomez in her quest to become the fifth Filipino winner in the prestigious event. ABS-CBN also brought Miss Universe 2020 live to Filipinos via A2Z last May.
Gomez, who hails from Cebu City, recently won her crown as Philippine representative to Miss Universe last Sept. 30 where she bested 27 other candidates. The 26-year-old model took home four special awards including Best in Swimsuit and Best in Evening Gown.
She also shone in the question and answer portion, saying she will rise to the occasion if she ever goes through difficulties during her reign.
“I will not give up and inspire others by rising to the problems that I am encountering and by inspiring them that whatever you’re going through, you will be able to overcome it,” she said.
The Pinay beauty queen will compete with delegates from around the world to be the successor of reigning Miss Universe Andrea Meza from Mexico.
The public can support her bid by voting for her using the Miss Universe app for an outright slot in the semifinals.
