The final night is just for formality. She is the clear winner since day 1 or even before screening. I smell a second blue crown!

The final night of MWP is just for formality only IMO ,as everyone knows that Catriona Gray is the clear winner so most of the candidates and handlers are only looking forward for the runners up spot. .

To Maxine, if I can remember there is only few people who think she will win Miss Universe Philippines. Maxine is classy in person. she is not a favorite but she really standout during the final night. If Philippines is the host country I have a feeling she will place 2nd runner up (since we never had 2nd runner up yet) but I don't think we will win
