2 Filipinos compete for Miss Universe crown in Mexico
As though proof were needed that the Filipino presence is now global, two Filipino women will compete in the Miss Universe pageant to be held in Mexico City in May.
Binibining Pilipinas Anna Theresa Licaros will represent the Philippines and Mutya ng Pilipinas Kirby Ann Basken, the newly crowned Miss Norway, will carry the colors of her “other” country at the 55-year-old pageant.
Basken, 21, was born in Oslo to a Norwegian father and a Filipino mother. She was crowned Fröken Norge-Universe.
She first joined the annual search for Miss Norway in January 2006, and finished first runner-up. In June of that year, she flew to her mother’s native land to represent Europe’s Filipino community in the Mutya ng Pilipinas pageant, and bagged the title.
The Miss Asia Pacific Quest Inc. (MAPQI), owner of the Mutya ng Pilipinas pageant, subsequently sent her to represent the Philippines in the Miss Intercontinental pageant in the Bahamas, where she emerged among the top 12 contenders.
