Rivera confirmed last Friday, Dec. 3, that she will be part of Miss Universe 2021’s selection committee. Though her upcoming stint as a judge is being criticized, she believes it is a good opportunity that she would not want to miss.
The actress is not the first Filipino to be part of the Miss Universe panel of judges. Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach and Broadway star Lea Salonga were judges for the competition in 2017 and 2011, respectively.
The Miss Universe 2021 coronation night will be held in Israel on Dec. 12 (Dec. 13 in the Philippines). The Philippines’ candidate, Beatrice Luigi Gomez, arrived in Israel last Nov. 28. /ra
