The Thai business mogul was referring to the “Hello universe” greeting that she used during her speech in the Miss Universe 2022 pageant last January 2023.
In a separate post, the businesswoman shared a screenshot of her exchange with the Filipino fan, as she talked about her “excitement” to visit the Philippines.
“Do you want to do this? I won’t say ‘Hellooo universeeeeee!!!!’ myself alone! I’m so ready but you need to do it with me! Ready? #philippines [heart emoji] I love you and I’m excited to see everyone soon,” she said in the caption. She did not elaborate when she is supposed to visit the country.
Several pageant fans took to the comments to express their excitement about Jakrajutatip’s visit in the country, with one @ladyartillero hoping that she would deliver a speech.

The post comes after the Miss Universe Philippines (MUPh) organization confirmed that Miss Universe 2022 R’Bonney Gabriel would make a special appearance at the national pageant on May 13 at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Following the announcement, the Thai entrepreneur revealed on Instagram that she would be visiting the Philippines for the pageant as well.
“The next universe destination is ‘Helloooo Manila!’ #philippines [Philippine flag emoji] I love you. See you soon,” she wrote.
Jakrajutatip also asked netizens on Instagram if she must wear a Filipino-made gown during her visit.
“Let’s celebrate your national beauty, positive social impact, fabulous fashion, kindness of people and cultural diversity together in Manila!!!! See you, dear,” she added.
