"Voting is open to anyone 14 years and over. Votes cast outside of the voting period (1 PM ET Monday November 20, 2017 – 1 PM ET Saturday, November 25, 2017) will not be counted as votes. Only votes that comply with the instructions and these Voting Rules and Procedures will be counted. Voting using third party applications are prohibited."

A record of 92 contestants are competing this year for the title of Miss Universe.


* For the Filipinos

Miss Philippines Rachel Peters, 26, thanked all the Filipinos who are supporting her in the 66th Miss Universe beauty pageant.

“I have the whole Philippines behind me. They inspire me, they motivate me even when I’m tired and jet-lagged. Reading their messages makes me want to get up and do good for them," said Peters in the introduction video shared by the MUO recently.


Peters also encouraged the people to spread love and kindness.

“While you’re here on this earth, do what you love, be with the people you love, and spread as much love and kindness to as many people as you can. You always want to be remembered as a nice person, somebody who is kind to everyone, and somebody who made a difference in the world,” the beauty queen said.

Peters also said on the video that she loves surfing. "The first time I tried surfing, it is so addictive. And when you catch your first wave, the adrenalin rush that you get is amazing."


* Off to Las Vegas

Camarines Sur Governor Migz Villafuerte has said that he will fly to Las Vegas to support his girlfriend.

"Kapag wala daw ako doon sa 24 ay papagalitan niya raw ako. Kaya susunod tayo," said Villafuerte in an interview on ABS CBN.

Sought to give message to Peters, Villafuerte said: "To Rachel, just continue to do your best. No matter what happens, I am always here for you, [as well as] your parents, your brother, and your family who will always believe in you and love you."


"I know na ikaw ang susunod na Miss Universe. Kung hindi Miss Universe, Miss Universe ng buhay ko," the governor said.

Villafuerte has said that he and Peters have been constantly exchanging messages despite world's apart. "Every day po kausap ko si Rachel. Masaya ang kanyang demeanor pero ako naman ang kinakabahan, di ko alam kung bakit."

The Bicolano official has earlier said on Instagram that he is "coconuts" about Peters. "I'll always be your number 1 fan my love." - ROBERT REQUINTINA

And even Tito Bayani was telling me hindi na n'ya nakikita si Erpat. Lagi s'yang busy. Sinabi ni Tito Bayani, 'why don't you just text him?' "said Diego, when asked if he's reaching out to his father, during an interview on "Tonight With Boy Abunda" on ABS CBN. "Sabi ko, 'why not?' Nanghihinayang ako eh. Kung kelan ako sobrang seryoso na sa ginagawa ko sa showbiz na 'to, I wanna learn so much. I'm taking workshops with Tito Pen Medina at kung sinu-sino pa. Why not my dad? Why not my father?; "Nanghihinayang lang ako. Sa kont
