A new face surfaced during the contract signing for the holding of the 65th Miss Universe pageant in Manila Wednesday night at the Makati Shangri-La Hotel.

Richelle Louise Singson-Michael, daughter of former Ilocos Sur Governor Luis ‘’Chavit’’ Singson, was introduced as “chairman of host committee,” the highest position among those involved in the preparations, trumping that of her own father’s.

The first two were held on 1974 and 1994.
