Kapuso Primetime Queen Marian Rivera continues to share snippets of magical moments she had as a judge at the 70th Miss Universe. After posting some fun times with her co-judges, she takes pride in sharing a photo moment this time with the president of Miss Universe Organization (MUO) herself, Paula Shugart.

In an Instagram post, Marian uploaded a photo of her together with Paula and dedicated a touching message for the pageant icon.

She said, "It was great meeting you @realpaulashugart learned so much from you. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us - that the most important thing is staying authentic and that true beauty is how you carry yourself."

When the pageant was officially confirmed to be held in Israel for the first time, Shugart herself explained that the country's health policies in fighting the pandemic and its vaccination drive success were among the reasons why it was chosen to host this year's Miss Universe.

Meanwhile, Marian continues to take in positive responses all over the online world for her impressive performance as an official member of the selection committee.

Her husband, Kapuso Primetime King Dingdong Dantes, despite being on the sidelines, also earned massive positive feedback from netizens who mostly praised him for being the personification of #husbandgoals.
