“It’s game time Philippines! Just boarded and off to a cozy trip to the Land of Creation,” she said. “This is gonna be a long and exciting night! See you in a few hours Israel.”

The Miss Universe Philippines Organization meanwhile wished Gomez a safe flight out of the country as it showed the beauty queen at the airport, also on its Instagram page yesterday.
“Emotions are high tonight, Philippines! We’re happy, excited, proud, and nervous but we know you got this, [Beatrice Luigi Gomez],” it stated. “Safe travels and make us all proud!”
Gomez also received well wishes from Miss Universe Philippines first runner-up Maureen Wroblewitz and Miss Universe Philippines Charity Victoria Vincent.
Gomez was crowned Miss Universe Philippines 2021 last September, making history as the first openly gay woman to win the competition. Her win in the local pageant qualified her to compete in Miss Universe this December.
She succeeded Miss Universe Philippines 2020 Rabiya Mateo, who finished top 21 in the 69th Miss Universe pageant in May this year. JB
