Meanwhile, Ganados stunned during the pageant’s national costume contest yesterday, Dec. 7, where she donned a silver gown inspired by the Philippine Eagle “whose strength, power, and love for freedom [exemplify] the Filipino people.”

The costume was created by Filipino designer Cary Santiago, as per Ganados’ post earlier today, Dec. 8.

Wurtzbach is not participating at this year’s pageant in Atlanta, Georgia in the United States due to prior commitments in Japan for her travel show.

After fellow Filipino beauty queen Catriona Gray’s victory last year, Ganados hopes to claim back-to-back wins for the country during the pageant’s coronation night tomorrow, Dec. 9. JB
