Kapuso Primetime Queen Marian Rivera was introduced at the Miss Universe stage during the pageant's preliminary competition held in Eilat, Israel earlier today.
Hosts Carson Kressley and Miss Universe 2020 Andrea Mesa referred to Marian as a multi-awarded actress, television host, and the most followed Filipino celebrity on Facebook.
The Kapuso actress was seated alongside supermodel Adriana Lima, Miss Universe India 2015 Urvashi Rautela, and Miss Universe 2016 Iris Mittenaere, among others.

Meanwhile, Marian's husband Dingdong Dantes was all-praise as he flaunted her on an Instagram post with the caption, “I don't mind being this judge's Water Boy during tonight's preliminary event.”
The Kapuso Primetime King, along with Marian's glam team, accompanied her to the competition. They left the Philippines on Monday, December 6.
The Miss Universe 2021 preliminaries showcased the candidates' self-introduction, as well as segments in their swimsuits, evening gowns, and national costumes.
On December 13 (PHT), the 70th Miss Universe coronation night will be held live from Israel. Philippine bet Beatrice Luigi Gomez is vying to be the fifth Filipino to bring home the crown.
