After Miss Asia Pacific, what's next for Francielly Ouriques?

Reigning Miss Asia Pacific International Francielly Ouriques of Brazil is set to transfer her crown on Oct. 4. But Francielly says that she is not ready to rest her laurels on pageants: she is planning to join the Miss Universe beauty contest next year.
