By Earl D.C. Bracamonte

An email sent to national directors mentioned the date of the coronation night of the 72nd edition of the annual Miss Universe pageant. The date is November 18, 2023 and the venue is El Salvador.

It further said that delegate arrivals would start on November 3, while registration and fittings for the production number apparel would be on November 4.

The last time El Salvador hosted the Miss Universe was in 1975. That year, the final show was held at the Jose Adolfo Pineda National Gym in the capital city of San Salvador. Anne Marie Pohtamo of Finland was crowned as winner, while Philippine representative Rosemary "Chiqui" Brosas was proclaimed 4th runner-up. 

Will the Philippines have a better placement this year? We'll find out soon enough.

Meanwhile, pageant fans and supporters are waiting for the Miss Universe Organization to confirm the pageant date, as well as ascertain the specific venue of the coronation rites. Reigning queen R'bonney Gabriel of the USA will crown her successor at the culmination of the final show. Stay tuned!
