Jenny Kim from Korea and Lindita Idrizi from Albania won the Miss Congeniality and Miss Photogenic awards, respectively, during the 65th Miss Universe coronation day on Monday at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.
Miss Universe Organization President Paula Shugart revealed this at the sidelines of the afterparty at Okada Manila.
She said these awards were not announced during the main competition because of lack of time.
“Honestly, we didn’t have time. There was so much we wanted to fit in the show,” Shugart said.
Shugart said the Miss Universe hosted in the Philippines was her favorite so far, and the hosting here raised the standards for future Miss Universe competitions.
