The 63rd Miss Universe preliminaries took place today in Doral, Miami, Florida, USA. The 88 most beautiful women from all over the world participated in the event, which included a long gown and swimsuit round. Of course, our eyes were on our very own MJ Lastimosa, who looked absolutely STUNNING.
MJ is 27 years old and is a North Cotabato native. And oh, did we mention she graduated with honors with a degree in Computer Engineering?
Here she is introducing herself as Miss Philippines:
