For the first time in Miss Universe history, the pageant was held in Manila at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP). Our bet was Guadalupe Sanchez, a 17 year old student from International School Manila. Comedian Giselle Sanchez once told columnist Ricky Lo that Sanchez’s mom called her “Guada Suplada” because she only smiled during the pageant. When Sanchez met her in Beijing in 2008, she was an events producer, and was actually “sweet and nice.”
