Newly crowned Miss Worldwide Philippines Nicole Borromeo will fly to London tomorrow in time for the Mr. & Miss Worldwide tour. “Magical,” as the pageant’s production will be called, will be formally launched next week.

Nicole, with his male counterpart, Jason Romeo Lopez, are the only country delegates gracing the London tour.

“Miss Worldwide International is not just a pageant, there’s a musical element in it too!” shared the Cebuana beauty during a send-off at the Empire Studios in Pasig City.

“I love the idea of performing. I was part of play productions in school. When I read the fans’ reactions after the coronation night, I thought they did not know what was coming,” revealed Nicole, about the title being a dream come true for her.

“I was backstage during the ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ show, which I saw thrice beforehand, and I was simply blown away!” she confessed.

The Mr. & Miss Worldwide world tour is Artesworld’s initiative in promoting the performing arts. “Magical is a fusion of pageantry and musical. It’s different from the usual pageants because it is very intricate. Audiences will feel it. It’s about building connections,” said Paul Hammond of Artesworld.
