Before a delegate could penetrate top 15 or perhaps top 20, they should be focusing on the preliminary competition. This is where all delegates will have to showcase their skills and confidence when they will be walking the runway. They will take the chance to walk using two-piece swimsuit and unique evening gowns. Each delegate will also be interviewed by the panel of judges, which plays an important role to weigh their chances of penetrating the semifinalist cut. For Maxine, the preliminaries are one of the most anticipated screening procedure, which she prepared for months.
If Maxine Medina fails all of the above placements, this will cut the placement streaks of the Philippines in Miss Universe since 2009. However, the chances for Maxine for being a clapper is very slim because she has been preparing for numerous months in order to continue the placement streak for the Philippines. During the pageant kick-off of Miss Universe on the second week of December, Maxine has already presented her deadly pageantry skill, which is confidence, eloquence, and class while hosting other delegates from other countries.
