Miss Universe 2016 Iris Mittenaere on Thursday called the Philippines her second home.

 

In an Instagram post, an hour before her scheduled departure, the beauty queen from France bade goodbye and said that Philippines will be forever in her heart.

 

“Last hour in my second home … philippines forever in my heart, Mahal ko kayo (I love you all),” she wrote.

After weeks of buildup and a busy morning in Manila, she impressed the judges and pleased the crowd as she proved herself a worthy successor after the Philippines’ Pia Alonzo-Wurtzbach. RAM
