PH bet wild card at Miss Supranational 2019

By Arlo Custodio - December 6, 2019

The Philippine bet to Miss Supranational 2019, Resham Ramirez Saeed, has qualified for the pageant’s SupraChat Finals after she was named the Wild Card Winner this week. The international beauty contest has been in the thick of pageant activities in Poland’s Silesia Province all in the lead up to the coronation night on Saturday (Philippine time).

A special addition to the competition this year was the candidates’ chat with reigning Miss Supranational Valeria Vasquez, where fans got the chance to know more about the women and vote for their favorite through the Miss Supranational app. Divided into 12 groups, four women automatically advanced to the Top 25 — chosen from two winners and two wild cards from Chat clusters 1 to 6 and Chat clusters 7 to 12.

Born to a Filipina mother and a Pakistani father in Buluan, Maguindanao, Saeed is the eldest and only girl in a brood of four. The 25-year-old model was on a college scholarship majoring in psychology at York University in Canada prior to joining Binibining Pilipinas 2019. Raised in six different countries, as her father has been involved in international business, she learned to speak five languages fluently.

Saeed hopes to gain the second Supranational crown for the Philippines after Mutya Datul’s win in 2013. Datul, who hails from Isabela, was also the first Asian to win the title in Minsk, Belarus that year.

Vasquez, who hails from Puerto Rico, will crown her successor who will be chosen from among 77 candidates.
