ON MISS UNIVERSE, OHELSEA,

SINCE I GREW UP IN showbiz, I hardly get starstruck. But when I met Michael Cinco or MC in Dubai, I turned into a fangirl.

ON MISS UNIVERSE, OHELSEA,

I was surprised to find out that even if MC is world-renowned, he remains down-to-earth. Michael made me feel instantly at home when we had dinner with friends at a Lebanese resto in the City of Gold, where MC is based. I was thrilled by his comment, “So classy,” on my birthday reel on Facebook recently.

MC never ceases to keep Pinoy Pride burning. His stint at the Miss Universe pageant 2024 as one of the esteemed judges is yet another feather on his cap. I cannot thank MC enough for granting me an exclusive interview amid his frenzied sched.

Over and beyond his dazzling haute couture creations, it’s MC’s warmth and humility that make him truly admirable.

Let’s pay homage to a true Pinoy icon when MC comes home for his much-awaited extravanganza: Michael Cinco’s “The Impalpable Dream of the Eternal City” on Dec. 2 at the Marriott Grand Ballroom. It’s presented by the Philippine Legacy Gala.

Keep soaring, MC. The world is your runway. Bravo, Cinco Magnifico.

Here’s my chat with Michael:

What was your most memorable experience in Mexico?

“Witnessing the vibrant culture, warmth and hospitality of the Mexicans. The electric energy of the Mexico Arena during the finals, coupled with the honor of being on the selection committee, made it an unforgettable moment. Sharing this journey with extraordinary individuals and celebrating the brilliance of women from around the globe truly felt like a dream come true.”

What made Miss Denmark stand out for her to win the crown?
