On Saturday night at the Biltmore Plaza in Belize City, eleven delegates will vie for the title of Miss Universe Belize in hopes to represent the Jewel at the Miss Universe Pageant later this year in Thailand. The pageant will air live on this station starting at six-thirty p.m.  Dangriga’s Rebecca Rath last represented the Jewel in the 2016 international pageant and she will be taking her final walk. Over the course of this week, the delegates have been doing their final rehearsals before meeting the judges tonight. Organizer Romeo Escobar says that everything is place to determine Belize’s next beauty ambassador.

“Right now everything is set, so we just have to hope that everything goes according to plan. But right now it is just excitement; the girls are excited, I am excited, we are all excited so we are hoping for a great show.”

“We know that there have been several events that you guys have been doing. We see that you’ve been to San Pedro and even down south in Placencia and different other events. Talk to us about this importance of this for these girls.”

“It’s not only about exposing them throughout the country, but it is also getting them use to a hectic schedule because whoever ends up winning and goes on to Miss Universe, they have activities nonstop. So it is also part of the preparation process.  All of them have been preparing for the last two months, all of them have been putting all their heart and soul into this, so the best one will win. That’s all I can say. The judges have the rules, we are going to have the meet and greet with the contestants on Friday; the stage is going to be set, the DJs have been set, the host has been set…everything is ready and we are just ready to give a good show.”

Tickets are limited and are selling for thirty-five dollars each.
