South Africa crowned Miss Universe 2019; PH finishes in Top 20

— Miss Universe (@MissUniverse) December 9, 2019 (UPDATED) Zozibini Tunzi of South Africa succeeded the Philippines’ Catriona Gray as she was crowned Miss Universe 2019 in Atlanta, Georgia on Monday (Manila time).

“I grew up in a world where women who look like me – with my kind of skin and my kind of hair – were never considered to be beautiful. And I think that it is time, that it stops today,” Tunzi said during her closing statement, moments before she was announced winner. Making a statement... This is Miss Universe South Africa.#MissUniverse2019 LIVE on @FOXtv. Airing in Spanish on @Telemundo. pic.twitter.com/FWpqb0517wWith her win, Tunzi was able to bring back the Miss Universe crown to South Africa, after Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters in 2017.

Filipina representative Gazini Ganados ended her Miss Universe 2019 journey early as she failed to crack the Top 10 of the pageant.

Weak ung advocacy nya at sablay pagkakadeliver. Walang impact. Ganern

no offense but it sound scripted 😶

Halatang kinabahan s'ya. Still proud of you Gazini! 🇵🇭❤

Ok lang naman yung advocacy nya pero mas marami pang pwede i advocacy bukod sa ageism

Love for family could have been a more relatable premise...elderly care in the west is somewhat different.. They don't see and feel it the same way pinoys do...

Maski na memorized mo naman, you can still buckle under pressure. Grats na lang in representing Philippines ❤️ You tried the best with what you have, you can be proud of yourself.

MsUniverseFoundationInc MUST include speech training for the next batch of winners. Rattle and buckle speech will take the queens nowhere.

Pangmalakasan!
