“Hi everybody, it’s Jeannie Mai here, and I’m so excited. I’m coming to the Philippines for my very first time,” the Hollywood host said in a video posted on the Miss Universe Philippines social media accounts on Tuesday evening, May 14.

While it’s not immediately known which Filipino designers will dress up the veteran host and presenter, avid pageant fans remember Mai uttering “yellow is the color of joy and celebration” while doing her fashion commentaries on the Miss Universe pageant — a line that has stuck among followers of beauty contests ever since.
