Miss USA 2015 Olivia Jordan took to social media to share some highlights of her trip to the Philippines more than a week ago.
“Here’s bits and pieces of some of my adventures in the #Philippines. Did I mention that I loved every second of it? Can I go back soon?” Jordan wrote in the caption of a video posted on her Facebook and Twitter accounts.

In the one-minute video posted Thursday, Jordan was seen walking at a flower market as she narrated her experiences, and jamming along with a Filipino who was singing at a videoke.
To beat the searing heat of the Manila sun, Jordan also tried fresh melon juice usually being sold in stalls at public markets.
“Everyone has been so nice here, it has been really, really incredible,” she said.
Jordan said she had “so much fun walking around Manila” and felt “so honored to be welcomed in this country where Pia’s from.” She was referring to reigning Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach.

Jordan, who finished 2nd runner-up in the Miss Universe pageant, earned the admiration of Filipinos for being supportive of Wurtzbach following the controversial announcement of the wrong winner. She and Wurtzbach have since been roommates in New York.
Jordan was in the country when she served as a judge at the 2016 Binibining Pilipinas coronation night. YG/RAM
