Miss Philippines Ariella Arida continues to mesmerize people from all over the world as the Miss Universe coronation night nears.
The Filipina beauty from Laguna awed Russian pop superstar Emin.
“People of the Philippines can be proud because they don’t just have a beautiful girl, but they have a beautiful actress,” the singer said of Arida in an interview by ABS-CBN News’ Dyan Castillejo aired on ANC.
Emin had the chance to work with Arida, who was part of the shoot of one of his singles’ music video.
On Friday (Manila time), the 86 Miss Universe contestants met with Emin for their special number’s rehearsal as part of the prestigious pageant’s finale on Nov. 10 (Nov. 11 in Manila) in the first-time host country Russia.
“The girls are absolutely fantastic. They’re smart, they’re educated, some of them are musicians, they’ve read many books, they’ve seen many movies, they know many languages. So it’s not just about beauty,” Emin said, adding that he is thrilled to have been chosen to perform with the contestants in front of an estimated one billion audience worldwide. Miss Universe 2012 first runner-up Janine Tugonon is also in Russia as the pageant’s online host.
The same ANC interview showed Arida’s message for her countrymen who are currently facing the wrath of super typhoon Yolanda.
“Be strong, and just keep on praying kasi andiyan si God. Mas malaki Siya kaysa sa mga problemang kinakaharap natin ngayon.”
