News Blackout for Miss Universe Philippines 2013 Ariella “Ara” Arida

Recently, I have featured in my blog (READ HERE: Miss Philippines Universe 2013, Ara Arida, Hits the Gym) about Miss Universe Philippines 2013 Ariella “Ara” Arida’s gym workouts as she prepares to conquer the Miss Universe crown last won by a Filipina 39 years ago in the person of Margarita “Margie” Moran in 1973 in Athens, Greece. I have a strong belief that Ara Arida is having an intensive training since the crown is long overdue for a nation which has the best and most loyal fans and supporters of this pageant.

Moscow reports Miss Philippines 2013 Ariella Arida as the reigning Miss Universe winner

I can't help myself but to blog this article which appears in a Russian online independent newspaper. The Moscow News obviously committed error by labeling Ariela Arida, Philippines representative to the Miss Universe 2013 pageant to be held in Moscow, Russia, as the reigning winner or the Miss Universe 2012 titleholder instead of USA's Olivia Culpo. I know this isn't a big deal as this is only a typographical error but pageant pundits are taking this seriously.

3 Filipinas to compete for Miss Universe crown

At least three Filipinas will be competing for the Miss Universe 2013 crown later this year.

Besides the Philippines’ official bet, Binibining Pilipinas-Universe 2013 Ariella Arida, the representatives from Canada and Gabon both have Filipino ancestry.
The Canadian bet is a familiar face to Filipino audiences. Riza Santos — a former “Pinoy Big Brother” housemate and FHM Philippines cover girl — was born to Filipino parents in the Philippines but grew up in Calgary, Alberta in Canada.
