Philippine bet Maxine Medina kicked off her Miss Universe 2016 campaign on a good start as she broke into the semifinal rounds of Miss Universe 2016 Monday morning (Philippine time).
The 26-year-old beauty queen now has a bigger chance to take home the fourth crown, which was first won by Gloria Diaz, Margarita Moran and Miss Universe 2015 Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach.
The top 13 candidates were chosen based on their performance during the preliminary competition held last Thursday morning, Manila time.
