From the Stage to the Spotlight: BingoPlus and Chelsea Manalo's Miss Universe Highlights

BingoPlus, the nation's all-inclusive digital entertainment platform, was pleased to sponsor the just-completed 73rd Miss Universe competition. The event was a huge success thanks to the organization's persistent support.

With its annual big beauty pageant, Miss Universe is a global phenomenon. All ethnicities, backgrounds, and beliefs are promoted and celebrated by the Miss Universe Organization, which is well-known for its diversity. Similarly, the pageant is well-liked in the Philippines, where every household follows the competition and cheers for the country's representative.

This year, Miss Universe Philippines 2024 Chelsea Manalo represented the country in the prestigious pageant. To show encouragement to the beautiful and confident Manalo, BingoPlus joined the send-off party on October 10, 2024 before she headed to Mexico for competition. During the press conference, BingoPlus had an exclusive interview with Manalo and expressed her gratitude to BingoPlus, as both a supporter and a sponsor.

“I would love to thank BingoPlus for the support that they have given me to compete for Miss Universe this time for the 73rd edition. Of course to my whole supportive team behind these lenses, thank you so much.” Manalo said with heartfelt emotion. “I don’t think there's anything more I would like to ask but the prayers and your loud cheers no matter where you are in this country, in the Philippines or anywhere in this world—universe, rather.”

Additionally, BingoPlus served as the official live-streaming partner in the Philippines for the 73rd Miss Universe Preliminaries and National Costume. The significant part of the competition was streamed exclusively via the BingoPlus app and website on November 15, 2024.

Moreover, BingoPlus hosted a watch-party for the 73rd Miss Universe Preliminaries and National Costume at the Diamond Hotel in Manila. Media persons, bloggers and influencers were invited and attended the watch-party. A press conference was also held after. Miss Universe Philippines 2023 Michelle Dee joined the event and was interviewed exclusively during the press conference. Previous Miss Universe candidates were in attendance and interviewed as well.

BingoPlus’ support does not stop there. The brand also flew to Mexico to join Manalo and cover the whole Miss Universe events including the coronation night. BingoPlus also met the newly-crowned Miss Universe 2024 Victoria Kjær Theilvig from Denmark and had an opportunity to do an exclusive interview with her backstage. The coverage was posted in BingoPlus’ social media accounts. BingoPlus was also recognized by the Miss Universe organization as they were also highlighted in their social media page.

Manalo received the title of Miss Universe Asia despite not winning the crown. Manalo's performance in the contest, where she gave the Philippines' best on the international front, filled BingoPlus with pride and happiness. The organization's support spans the entire world—or rather, the universe—rather than just the nation.
