 Dindi gears up for Supranational finals

By Earl D.C. Bracamonte

After her 9 pm closed-door panel interview last night, Miss Supranational Philippines 2021 Dindi Pajares is super excited for the final show this coming weekend, Aug 21 (early morning of Aug 22 in the Philippines).

Dindi's excitement stems from her good showing in the pageant's pre-pageant challenges, as well as a memorable first impression at the sashing ceremony. She equally stood out in her official photo shoot wearing Pablo Mendez's fabulous 'Palay' gown.

After placing in the Supra Influencer Challenge 2 Top 15, Dindi went on to be part of the Top 10 in the Supra Challenger Part 3. She shared the leaderboard with Linda Sibrian (El Salvador), Aavriti Choudhary (India), Phidelia Mutunga (Kenya), Shailey Micallef (Malta), Chanique Rabe (Namibia), Swelia da Silva Antonio (Netherlands), Karla Guilfu Acevedo (Puerto Rico), Thato Mosehle (South Africa), and Valentina Sanchez Trivella (Venezuela).

In the contestants' Supra Chat with Ann challenge, Dindi, who was part of Group 7 with Ghana, Romania, Namibia, Sweden, Thailand, England, and Rwanda, garnered the highest rating of 36.4% for her group. The standouts in the other groups are Venezuela (Group 1 - 24.9%), Peru (Group 2 - 28.7%), Kenya (Group 3 - 59.8%), Indonesia (Group 4 - 71.6%), France (Group 5 - 36%), and South Africa (Group 6 - 38%).

The top contenders from groups 1 to 4 will fight it out for a sure spot in the semifinal round. Ditto groups 5 to 8. The fan votes will comprise 60 per cent of the final score, while 40 per cent will come from the judges.

Aside from clinching the second top spot in the Miss Elegance challenge, Dindi also made it to the Top 10 of the Fan Vote challenge. She fights it out closely with other contenders in this leaderboard that include Canada, El Salvador, Iceland, Indonesia, Kenya, Peru, Sierra Leone, South Africa, and Venezuela.

The preliminary competition unfolded last night at Hotel Beskid in the Malopolska region. To be hosted by Miss Supranational Carribean 2019 Yaliza Burgos, the prelims was beamed live to a global audience via Miss Supranational 's YouTube channel. 

The 12th Miss Supranational final show will unfold on August 21 from the city of Nowy Sacz, and will be aired on Aug 22 at 2 am over CNN Philippines network. The Mister Supranational 2021 coronation contest, on the other hand, will happen on August 22, 10 pm, Philippine time, and will be live streamed via KTX and Globe Upstream platforms.
