Raise your hand if you’re as excited as we are for the finals night of Miss Universe 2016! To put it mildly, last night’s preliminary rounds at the Mall of Asia Arena fueled the suspense even further (and now it’s driving us all crazy as we try to formulate our own fearless forecast for the Top 12). For starters, our very own Miss Philippines Maxine Medina slayed it onstage wearing Rhett Eala’s fringed emerald green frock, which created dramatic movements in perfect harmony with her runway walk. Our homegirl sure did us proud!
