Is the Philippines going to host the Miss Universe pageant again next year?
MANILA, Philippines — Former Ilocos Sur governor Luis “Chavit” Singson said he was offered the Miss Universe Philippine franchise but...
Your mantra for the week: “I focus on my dreams and, thus, they all come true.”
Since Ilocos Sur Gov. Luis “Chavit” Singson loves to entertain, practically his entire home—the gold-clad nine-story Torre del Baluarte—is devoted to public space.
For his efforts in the successful mounting of the recently held 65th Miss Universe pageant in Manila, businessman and former Ilocos Sur Governor Luis “Chavit” Singson has been crowned “Mr. Universe.”
The Philippines has been abuzz about the upcoming hosting of the Miss Universe pageant, after the Department of Tourism announced earlier that the global competition will once again be staged in the country, but the New York-based Miss Universe Organization is still mum about this.
He may have shelled out billions of dollars for the Philippines' hosting of the Miss Universe pageant, but for Luis "Chavit" Singson, the money he poured in was more of an investment than a loss.
For businessman-politician Luis "Chavit" Singson, the Philippines' bet in the recently concluded Miss Universe pageant did a good job despite not securing a back-to-back win for the country.
After much speculation from pageant followers, and multiple declarations from interest groups in the Philippines, the New York-based Miss Universe Organization (MUO) has finally confirmed the staging of its 2016 competition in the country.
With Chavit’s luck and his being on his 5th cycle of success, he will not only recover his $12 million but will make another $12 million instead.
