Prior to her arrival in the Philippine capital, Chalita, 22, also posted a snap of her 11 tightly packed trunks on her Instagram page.
Not only did her suitcases cause social media buzz; her stylish and classy Barong Tagalog outfit, paired with white bell pants and black leather belt, scored a thumbs-up from many Filipinos.
“Safe and sound. Sawasdee ka and Mabuhay,” Chalita captioned her photo.
Chalita, together with more than 160 candidates, including the Philippines’ very own Maxine Medina, will face off for the 65th Miss Universe pageant on Jan. 30 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City. 2015 Miss Universe and Filipina beauty queen Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach will pass on the crown and legacy to her successor.
